E-SPLOST deserves to be renewed
I am writing to encourage a renewal of the Gwinnett County Schools' Education Splost. As a Duluth homeowner, parent of young children, local attorney and someone who cares about the future of our community, the renewal of the Education Splost is essential to future success in local property values, education, and business.
The extension of the E-SPLOST will raise $875 million for our children's education -- and 40 percent of that will be paid by non-residents who shop here.
The Education Splost vote is a renewal vote, not a new tax. Voting yes honors the promises which have been made, and kept, by the Gwinnett County school system. They have delivered educations as well as facilities with the funds entrusted to them. The E-Splost renewal is critical to continuing educational excellence in Gwinnett County.
The success of our educational system has a direct link to property values and whether businesses locate here. I encourage you to make an informed vote to renew the E-SPLOST on Nov. 8.
-- Matt Reeves

Colorado Voters Reject Tax and Spending Initiatives - Wednesday, 02 Nov 2011 By Greg McDonald
Colorado voters Tuesday rejected tax hikes and spending initiatives all across the state in what some political experts said could be a snapshot of what the mood of voters may be as the country moves into the 2012 election season. According to the Denver Post, which described the election as "a killing field for tax measures," voters from Denver and the more liberal Boulder area — to even the remotest counties — rejected tax hikes to support schools, recreation centers, libraries, and other public-infrastructure projects. "This election is overwhelmingly being framed by this economy," political analyst Floyd Ciruli told the Post. "Clearly, the issues that are framing this are jobs and the economy and taxes."

In the past some of the SPLOST funds have gone to admistrative raises. IF that is the case in this election then vote NO. We are paying more and getting less for our tax dollars let them find ways to cut the 'fat' out of some of these budgets. If they ran the government like we run our business, then a lot of them would be looking for another job. Citizens are tired of the ability of our elected leaders to raise our taxes, just like in Denver VOTE NO!!!! Let them find the money in cuts to the administration costs.

SPLOST funds do not go to administrative raises. SPLOST dollars are only allowed to be used for capital improvements. The majority of this SPLOST is planned to be used for maintaining buildings and replacing aging technology. This includes replacing HVAC systems, roofs, floor covering and painting. Like it or not but this is all stuff that wears out and only has a limited lifespan that will need to be replaced. So Gwinnett voters can extend the SPLOST tax for any that shops in Gwinnett to help pay for these capital expenses or the money will have to come from somewhere else. A sales tax is a much better tax since it is an optional tax that you only pay if you buy something whereas your property taxes have to be paid no matter what and if you dont someone will be taking your house away. I dont want my taxes raised either but I would much rather have them as a sales tax so that I can choose if I want to pay the tax or not.
FactChecker 3 years, 9 months ago
It is time for a little more honesty. Sales tax is NOT a better tax. It unfairly discriminates against the poor and benefits the wealthy because the poor do not have a serious option other than to pay the tax since most of their income must be spent on taxable goods while the wealthy can choose to drive to districts of lower taxes for major purchases and are not taxed for investments. By such a simplistic argument, then property tax would be the optimal for everyone will need to pay some sales tax but you can choose to remain homeless and no vehicle, thus avoiding any property tax. This argument is just as faulty as the one you put forth. The fairest option for taxation available is property tax since it is not regressive and collection cost is lower so that a higher percentage of taxes paid actually gets to the school system. The most people in Gwinnett will pay more with the increase in sales tax than raising an equal amount with increased property tax.

The school system is now PAYING telephone solicitors to contact citizens in the county and request voting support for ESPLOST, I just got off the phone with a 1800 number combination robo/ live rep call. So the school system will fail without the vote?
I darn sure didn't commit tax dollars to be cold called – spend that funding on the children. This is all about the businesses hoping to get YOUR dollars and using children for blackmail? We have arrived; we are an URBAN environment for sure now. FULTON county here we come! Vote NO! Children are NOT a business profit center.
nicholson 3 years, 9 months ago
I also received one of the telephone solicitations about the ESPLOST, and I could barely make out what the caller was saying because her English was horrible. I certainly hope she wasn't a product of the Gwinnett school system. I am voting no.
snellvillemike 3 years, 9 months ago
ESPLOST will continue to lower your property tax. If the school system needs revenue to build schools and to use for technology, then the board will raise property taxes. 1% penny sales tax is fine. This is a no brainer and a good deal. The money comes in from many people who shop in gwinnett and reduces my property tax.
The transportation tax is a no brainer too. Tax gwinnett and we get no return for the tax. Vote No for transportation sales tax.
Yes for ESPLOST

I'm afraid that BOTH the E-SPLOST on November 8 and the T-SPLOST in July 2012 are D.O.A. (Dead On Arrival) at the polls.
The continuing HOT lane fiasco on I-85 has struck a really deep nerve with taxpayers who are completely fed up as being viewed as nothing but ATMs for big-business and big government alike.
I support education, but the powers-that-be have finally gone too far this time and they absolutely have to be reminded about who REALLY is in charge.
Voting this E-SPLOST down is a good place to start.
T-SPLOST, you're NEXT!
ACC12_SEC13Booster 3 years, 9 months ago
Sorry, GCPS, but the bank is closed.
This SPLOST vote will be the first of many existing and proposed taxes to be voted down by disgruntled taxpayers made even more disgruntled by a corrupt county government and pushed over the edge by the HOT lane fiasco on I-85 at the hands of a totally corrupt and completely inept state government.
g_netter 3 years, 9 months ago
No SPLOST while the HOT lane exists. That's all there is to it for me.
Mack711 3 years, 9 months ago
When the Lottery was voted in that was to go to education and lower school taxes, at least that is what we were told. With that where is the Lottery Money going Mr. Wilbanks? Is it going to add jobs in the administrative section of GCPS system? Having gone to school in Dekalb back in the 50's and 60's when there was not air conditioning to add to the cost of construction. Why does everyone have a'private' office and large wasted spaces? Get back to the basics.
It is time for citizens to say no to SPLOT anything. When they start cutting jobs and salarys for the administation maybe then they will find the funds.
FactChecker 3 years, 9 months ago
Mack711, where did you get such erroneous information? Lets check your information: 1. Lottery was to go to education: This is true. When it was specifically earmarked for improving technology in schools and the HOPE grants. 2. Lottery was to lower school taxes: False. Prior to writing the legislation, a study was made to track education funding in other states that formed a lottery for education funding and the results showed that, while initially, education received a boost in funding, a false reliance on the lotteries actually reduced total funding for education in most of those states. That is why Zell Miller would only agree to sign the law if it was to be specifically designed as an education supplement to improve technology and access to higher education. Now the answer to your question about where lottery funds are going. When the lottery was knew, it raised large sums fast. Schools across Georgia received large grants to expand technology in schools. These grants to Gwinnett and wise use of them has greatly helped education in Gwinnett. Unfortunately, the lottery income has grown slower than expected and the qualified applications for the HOPE grant has grown rapidly. Now most of the lottery goes to pay for the HOPE grants leaving the maintenance and upgrading of technology costs in the need of alternate funding. The question is not if the schools need this funding to keep good quality education; the question is whether the funding should be sales tax, property tax or some other method not yet proposed. Between these two taxes, the property tax is the more fair method since it does not put an undue burden on those below the poverty line.
Mack711 3 years, 9 months ago
Thanks, there are a few things in here that have been explained. Can not say that we should pass SPLOST. Your last sentence says a lot.
Don_Coyote 3 years, 9 months ago
My view is that the HOT lane woke me up to view the callous nature in which the taxpayer is treated by the current county and state governments. The school board members who sat up on the stage and tacitly approved this behavior are therefore thrown into the same pool. I will not get the chance to vote any of them out in this election but my first salvo will be for me and mine to vote down this extension of E-SPLOST. Future votes will be adjusted accordingly on this one issue alone even to those responsible for the current DOT board as I don't even get to vote for those "caretakers" of billions of our tax dollars. It is that important to me. It is not just the inconvenience but the blatant disregard of Government of the people, by the people and for the people, simple as that,

Guys, the transportation SPLOST and the education SPLOST have zip to do with one another. Education must keep up with technology or our kids will not be prepared for changing times. And if you work for a business that depends on tech. then you know that. If you don't, you may not have the life experience needed to fully understand the importance of this SPLOST which will have an effect on every student's educational experience. Don't vote based on your short sighted emotion. VOTE YES for the kids' future.
Mack711 3 years, 8 months ago
Kids are being used for the sake of taxation. At this time each day they come home the school wants more money for something or another. Who can pay this when they have lost their job or may be losing their home. Where do you draw the line, We have a budget that we must live within, they have your wallet to get their budget with our questions. It is time for the government to live within its means. Vote NO and send a clear message to the School board to make cuts in the administrative costs to balance their budget, just like you and I. As Boortz said 'stop using the children' to get what you want.

The have one thing in common that most already know about. We can vote to raise our taxes if we vote both in. That is what they have in common. So vote each one indepently and Vote NO to raising taxes for each T-SPLOST or E_SPLOST.

Islanders baseball gameday: 3.23.12
What: A&M-CC (10-12, 3-3) at Central Arkansas (8-9, 3-3)
When: 6 p.m. tonight; 4 p.m. Saturday; Noon, Sunday
Where: Bear Stadium, Conway, Ark.
The matchup: Four Southland Conference teams sit at 4-2, while five are at 3-3 and two at 2-4. So the importance of the next two weeks, when some separation should take place, can't be understated. The Islanders, during that stretch, will play all games on the road.
The weekend starters have been solid for A&M-CC. Sunday starter Daniel Minor (4-1, 0.99 ERA) is working on 19-plus consecutive scoreless innings, while Friday night hurler Adam Hoelscher (4-1, 3.77) is trying to come back from an outing in which he walked seven in five innings. Saturday starter Tim Keller (0-3, 2.83) has posted good numbers but has dealt with hard luck.
Those three, as well as the relief staff, should get a strong challenge from Forrest Allday (. 439, 21 R) and a UCA offense batting .280.
The most pressing concern has been the Islanders' offense. A&M-CC is batting .237, last in the league. The Islanders are last or tied for last in the Southland in multiple offensive categories, including home runs (2), doubles (18) and runs (84). The team needs more players to step up. Lately, that has meant Drew Vest, usually a light hitter in terms of power, who has added 79 points to his batting average in the past week.
It doesn't necessarily portend well to play the Bears. UCA is third in the conference with a 3.28 ERA. Caleb McClanahan (1-1, 2.50) paces a balanced starting staff.

Since I was turned into a nail polish addict by my friend and enabler, I've been on a quest to do the perfect at-home manicure. Clearly, I'm cheap as the day is long although many will call it "thrifty" but I digress (they essentially mean the same thing.) My DIY manicures had one big problem — messy cuticles. There isn't much that gives away an at-home manicure faster than messy cuticles. And let's face it, girls, the paint job on your dominant hand from your non dominant hand always looks a mess, amiright? Today I'm here to tell you how to clean up nail polish on cuticles during your DIY manicure.
Featuring Julep Lauren from the Julep for Hello Giggles Besties Collection.
This is a shot of my right index finger looking all kinds of messy before I did my "how to clean up nail polish on cuticles" trick.
It's all over my cuticles and the side of my finger.
How to clean up nail polish on cuticles
To learn how to clean up nail polish on cuticles, you'll need:
- 100% acetone nail polish remover. It HAS to be 100% acetone. The regular nail polish remover doesn't cut through the polish as cleanly as 100% acetone nail polish remover.
- A small, stiff bristled brush. Try this e.l.f. Cosmetics Eyeliner Brush as a start. It's what I use — and also, I use a different one for my powder eyeliner because it's an amazing brush.
- A paper towel
First, pour out a little bit of 100% acetone nail polish into the lid. A little bit goes a long way. Dip your brush into the 100% acetone nail polish, then dab off the excess. Too much 100% acetone nail polish remover will cause too much running and will ruin your DIY manicure. Rub the brush gently around your cuticles and the sides of your nail. You'll see it cut right through the nail polish on your cuticle…like butta.
Here's a video to show you how to clean up nail polish on your cuticles:
Now go forth and save some money on manicures by doing DIY manicures and using the "how to clean up nail polish on cuticles" trick!

Five Tips for Safe Mobile Banking
Banking through your phone or tablet is quick and convenient, but don't forget these five tips to help keep your money—and identity—safe:
- Password-protect your phone or tablet so that only you can access the information on your device. This will help protect you if your phone or tablet is ever lost or stolen.
- Never provide personal information unless you initiate contact with your bank or other financial institution. Financial institutions should not request account numbers, Social Security numbers or other sensitive information through email or text messages. If you're not sure about a request, contact your bank by calling number on the back of your debit or credit card.
- Don't stay "auto-logged in" to your accounts. Even though it's convenient, it increases the risk that an unauthorized user will access your accounts.
- Delete old texts from your bank to reduce your exposure to fraud.
- Report lost or stolen devices immediately to your wireless provider and financial institutions.

Raphael Holinshed
|This article includes a list of references, related reading or external links, but its sources remain unclear because it lacks inline citations. (May 2008)
Raphael Holinshed (1529–1580; /ˈhɒlɪnzhɛd/ ) was an English chronicler, whose work, commonly known as Holinshed's Chronicles, was one of the major sources used by William Shakespeare for a number of his plays.
He is thought to have come from Cheshire, but lived in London where he worked as a translator for the printer Reyner Wolfe.[1] Wolfe gave him the project of compiling a world history from the Flood to the reign of Queen Elizabeth. This ambitious project was never finished, but one portion was published in 1577 as The Chronicles of England, Scotland, and Ireland. Holinshed was only one contributor to this work; others involved in its production included William Harrison, Richard Stanyhurst, and John Hooker.
Shakespeare used the revised second edition of the Chronicles (published in 1587) as the source for most of his history plays, the plot of Macbeth, and for portions of King Lear and Cymbeline.
Little is known about Holinshed's life. There is no source which states his date of birth, for instance. He became known only by the Chronicles of England, Scotland and Ireland, and all the information we have about him is related to this work. Although Vernon Snow remarks that Holinshed was an experienced Cambridge-educated translator, no other works by Holinshed are available. A few months after the Chronicle had been licensed, Holinshed retired to the countryside near Warwick. He died around 1580 and his will was proven on 24 April 1582. Nothing is known about Holinshed's civil duties, other scholarly achievements or work for the Church.
Holinshed's Chronicles of England, Scotland and Ireland[edit]
In 1548 Reyner Wolfe, a London printer, conceived the idea of creating a "Universal Cosmography of the whole world, and there with also certain particular histories of every known nation." He wanted the work to be printed in English and he wanted maps and illustrations in the book as well. Wolfe acquired many of John Leland's works and with these he constructed chronologies and drew maps that were up to date. When Wolfe realised he could not complete this project on his own, he hired Raphael Holinshed and William Harrison to assist him.
Wolfe died with the work still uncompleted in 1573, and the project, changed to a work about just the British Isles, was run by a consortium of three members of the London stationers. They kept Raphael Holinshed who employed William Harrison, Richard Stanyhurst, Edmund Campion and John Hooker. In 1577 the work was published in two volumes after some censorship by the Privy Council of some of Stanyhurst's contribution on Ireland.[2] The Scottish section is largely a translation of Hector Boece's Scotorum Historiae[3]
A second edition was issued in 1587, but it contained some passages that were considered offensive to the Queen and her ministers. The pages in question were removed by order of the Privy Council. The missing passages were separately published in 1723, and a complete reprint appeared in 1807.[3]

Faculty Manual Part VI Section IVA-E
A. Basic Principles Consistent with the principle that university employees and prospective employees shall be evaluated on the basis of individual merit, without reference to considerations of race, sex, religion or national origin, or any other factors not involving personal professional qualifications and performance, the following restrictions, designed to avoid the possibility of favoritism based on family or personal relationship, shall be observed with respect to institutional personnel who are not subject to the State Personnel Act:
1. Related persons shall not serve concurrently within the institution in any case where one such related person would occupy a position having responsibility for the direct supervision of the other related person.
2. With respect to proposed employment decisions which would result in the concurrent service of related persons within the same academic department (or other comparable institutional subdivision of employment), a person related to an incumbent employee may not be employed if the professional qualifications of other candidates for the available position are demonstrably superior to those of the related person.
3. With respect to the concurrent service of related persons within the same academic department (or other comparable institutional subdivision of employment), neither related person shall be permitted, either individually or as a member of a faculty, or as a member of a committee of a faculty, to participate in the evaluation of the other related person.
B. Definition of "Related Persons" The following relationships are sufficiently immediate to invoke the prohibitions against concurrent service of related persons: 1) Parent and child; 2) Brothers and sisters; 3) Grandparent and grandchild; 4) Aunt and/or uncle and niece and/or nephew: 5) First cousins; 6) Step parent and step child: 7) Step brothers and step sisters; 8) Husband and wife; 9) Parents in law and children in law; 10) Brothers in law and sisters in law; 11) Guardian and ward; 12) Persons engaged in amorous relationships; an amorous relationship exists when, without the benefit of marriage, two persons voluntarily have a sexual union or are engaged in a romantic courtship (e.g. dating or engaged to be married) that may or may not have been consummated sexually.

Is Lea Michele an Only Child?
During Christmas 2012, Glee star Lea Michele happily tweeted that she was spending the holiday with her family. She wrote about a trip to the salon with her mom, Edith, but didn't mention any other family members specifically.
Of course, everything comes back to Glee, so we got to wondering... Is Lea an only child, just like her alter-ego Rachel Berry, or are there any other Sarfati siblings out there? Well, you can chalk it up to just one more similarity between Lea and her Glee character, because Lea is the only and only kid in her family.
Her co-stars Dianna Agron (Quinn) and Naya Rivera (Santana) may have a handful of siblings among them, but at the Sarfati home, it's just dad Marc, mom Edith, and Lea.
Hey, if she ever wanted to sing about it, we think we know the perfect song.

What define WSDEs are two facts: that the appropriation and distribution of the surplus are done cooperatively and that the workers who cooperatively produced the surplus and those who cooperatively appropriate and distribute it are identical.
July 24, 2012
When workers partly or completely own the corporate enterprises in which they work, they occupy a position like that of other shareholders within private capitalism.
July 24, 2012
A cooperative refers to an aspect of the structure of the enterprise, even if its overall operations remain capitalistic.
July 23, 2012
Under worker-managed enterprises, workers who perform managerial functions do not thereby displace capitalists or move the economy beyond capitalism.

Baseball notebook: Braves cut ties with Andruw Jones
The Atlanta Braves are cutting ties with Andruw Jones, saying they can't afford to keep the perennial Gold Glove center fielder who's spent his entire career with the organization.
General manager John Schuerholz announced the decision Tuesday, shortly after breaking the news to Jones at Turner Field.
While hoping to stay in Atlanta, Jones wasn't caught off-guard by the team's stance. He made $13.5 million this season and was looking for a raise despite slumping badly.
"I'm fine with it," Jones told The Associated Press when reached on his cell phone. "I'm appreciative of the chance they gave me to play for Atlanta all these years. I understand the decision they have to make. That's just the way it is. It's a business."
Indeed, the move was not unexpected as the 30-year-old Jones batted only .222 in the final season of his $75 million contract. He's eligible to file for free agency after the World Series.
"It just doesn't work for us," Schuerholz said. "It doesn't demean or diminish everything he's done."
The Braves plan to use the money they'll save on Jones to bolster their starting rotation — a glaring weakness beyond John Smoltz and Tim Hudson — and to sign first baseman Mark Teixeira, who made $9 million this year and is eligible for arbitration.
Tigers extend Leyland's contract through 2009: Jim Leyland will be managing the Detroit Tigers for two more years.
Leyland got what he wanted when the Tigers extended his contract by one year, keeping him in the dugout through the 2009 season.
Leyland said last week he planned to meet with Tigers president Dave Dombrowski the day after the season and hoped to drive home to Pittsburgh knowing he had two years on his deal.
"We are very happy with the outstanding job he has done and with the leadership he provides our organization," Dombrowski said in a statement. "We look forward to Jim managing the Tigers for a long time."
During the final homestand, Leyland said he wanted to manage "for a while," but didn't want to have more than two years on his contract, giving the Tigers and him flexibility.
Randolph to manage Mets next season: New York Mets manager Willie Randolph will be back with the club next season, hanging onto his job after New York's enormous collapse.
General manager Omar Minaya made the announcement Tuesday, ending speculation that Randolph might be fired despite signing a contract extension before this season.
"I do believe that Willie is going to continue to work hard," Minaya said. "I do believe that Willie's passion for winning is there."
New York went 5-12 down the stretch, squandering its big lead in the NL East and missing the playoffs entirely. The Mets became the first major league team that failed to finish in first place after owning a lead of seven games or more with 17 remaining. New York, which had that margin on Sept. 12, also matched the largest lead blown in September.
"It's been tough sleeping the last couple of nights," Randolph said. "The way the season ended, obviously, is unacceptable. We had opportunities to get this thing done and as the manager of this ballclub I take full responsibility for that."
Phillies drop Eaton from postseason roster: Despite Adam Eaton's big contract, the Phillies can't afford to pitch him in the playoffs.
Eaton was left off Philadelphia's postseason roster for their first round-series against Colorado. The Phillies will use a four-man rotation, so Eaton didn't make the cut.
"It's the best case for the team," Eaton said.

Category: Bags
Works With: iPad, MacBook
Price: $180 as tested
I'm a huge fan of Rickshaw's bags. Pretty much everyone in the Rickshaw office cycles to work, and it shows in the design of the bags. They're well made, practical and light, but still full of clever design details. The Commuter 2.1 is no exception, somehow managing to offer a huge collection of pickets and cubbyholes, and yet remaining light enough to be more comfy on the shoulder than many more simple messenger bags.

The Owen County Quilt Trail
Welcome to the Owen County Quilt Trail.
Owen County has a rich heritage of quilters throughout the many communities. Quilting is a tradition that has existed for many generations, and must be shared in order for it to survive.
As the quilt trail began to spread across Kentucky, so spread the interest with our Extension Homemakers, farming families, and quilt enthusiasts.
Our trail consists of over 100 painted quilted squares. Please enjoy the scenery as you pass through our website and our Quilt Trail of Owen County.
This pattern is called the Farmer's Delight, which is located in front of the Owen County Cooperative Extension Office. This pattern was chosen to represent Extension and the many programs like Family & Consumer Sciences, Agriculture & Natural Resources, and 4-H Youth Development.
Even though our site is still under construction, we invite you to explore. We will add new information and pictures as they become available. If you feel we need to add something to our site or if you think it needs improving, don't hesitate to contact us. We can be reached by clicking on the Contact Us tab on the left side panel.
This project is a result of the Owen County Vision Project and was planned and implemented by the Owen County Extension Homemakers, Owenton, KY.

Mining Publication: A Multiplexed Phone System for Small Mines
Original creation date: July 1982
A new phone system was developed that provides eight full duplex communications channels over a single twisted shielded phone line, with no central switching station or line amplifiers. This system greatly simplifies installation and maintenance over that required with conventional switching systems. The system is based on microprocessor technology and digital frequency synthesis. Frequency division multiplexing is used over a bandwidth of approximately 300 kHz, and a baseband voice channel (compatible with conventional pager phones) is provided as a backup to assure communication if the multiplex features fail. Multiplex operations are controlled over a 30-kHz digital channel. The system is designed to operate with up to 16 km (10 miles) of cable plant and a maximum phone separation of 8 km (5 miles). The digital techniques permit a limited amount of monitoring and control capability to each phone. This consists of two pair of contact inputs or outputs, to be used as desired. These "flags" may be read or controlled by a dispatcher's phone.

"Was very happy with the whole process of selection, ordering, review and finished product. I wanted to add an extra line into the text and spoke to someone on the phone who explained how to include it. The proof review was very quickly emailed and the shower invitations arrived even sooner than I expected. It was a pleasure."
"This was my first time ordering from this site and I can't wait to order again. I am so happy with the invite. It looks beautiful. The photo on the website does not do the actual invite justice. The quality of the paper is great. It turned out just the way I wanted it and the color is great as well. I recommend this to anyone who needs a bridal shower invite!"
"I was able to change the color of the flowers to the brides chosen colors of purple. The paper quality is excellent and the online proof process is so easy."
"So happy with my daughter's shower invitations. The Colors were exactly the way they looked online, the paper was high quality and I received them in a little over a week. The price did seem a bit high compared to other sites, but hey...you get what you pay for :)"
"I just ordered these to use as bridal luncheon invitations. They were perfect! Recipients commented on the quality of the paper and design. Received them faster than promised and had great customer service. I would highly recommend this product."

Alexander Skarskard: I Want to Make My Famous Father Proud
We hope Alexander Skarsgard has some super fun Father's Day festivities planned for his dad this Sunday. The True Blood star couldn't be any tighter with his old man, whom he still refers to as one of his "best friends."
"He is such a good guy and I love him so much," he revealed to Yahoo about his famous father, actor Stellan Skarsgard.
"So many kids complain or have problems with their father, but I have been very lucky to have had a father who is very cool, very supportive, and just someone I have admired all my life and felt so good to grow up and always know that he cared about me even though he works a lot."
Stellan has starred in numerous blockbuster films, including The Avengers, Mamma Mia!, and Good Will Hunting. Alexander grew up watching his father rise to fame in their native Sweden, and has even had the honor of working with him on a number of projects.
"We first worked together in 1983 on my first movie [Ake och hans varld] back in Sweden and then we had the chance to do Melancholia with Lars von Trier. I hope we're going to get the chance to work again," he said.
Although Alexander strives to have his own acting career separate from his father's, he still tries to make his pops proud, even now at the age of 35.
"I've never thought that I was competing with my father or trying to match his success. His work stands on its own," A. Skars revealed.
"But I think acting may have been my attempt to prove to him that I have some talent and impress him a little bit. I think most sons want their fathers to be proud of them."

Douglas Brinkley
Long before Walter Cronkite was the voice of the news, he was just a kid from Houston at the University of Texas, chasing girls, acting in school plays, and drinking cheap beer. Yet Douglas Brinkley, whose new biography of Cronkite will be released this month, argues that it was in Austin that the seeds of one of the greatest careers in American journalism were sown.
Teddy Roosevelt acquired a number of skills during his time in Texas, but the most important may have been the ability to brag.
George W. Bush says he doesn't have time to think about his legacy, but the rest of us have no such trouble. We asked some of the smartest people we could think of—prize-winning historians, presidential scholars, White House vets—to predict how 43 will be judged and to suggest what, if anything, he can still do about it.

i absolutely looove carne asada! it's so yummy, but the place that makes it the best and has the best tortas thus far is Jaliscos in Coachella,Ca. I have gone there for years..in my travels across the country I have yet to find one that is truly authentic to its culture. The place burned down, but fortunately, this family owned restaurants still stands. My other fav foods are posole, tortas empapadas, chorizo con huevo y papas, chiles rellenos, y frijoles de la olla.

@Wackdoodle What an amazing story!Thanks for sharing! By the way my family also cooks pork mole and I also love it! I am Mexican so many of the best Mexican dishes I've had are the ones cooked by my mom! My favorite being the Pork Mole (aka asado de bodas) with rice...sooo good! I also love Homemade Tortillas de Harina with Potatoes with Red or Green Chile. And a dish that my grandma cooks called Chile Perdido it has chiles, cheese, milk, potatoes, corn...it's very unique. I'm getting hungry!
bluesarahlou 5 years
Yeah when you're in the mood for something "mexican", there are definitely plenty of places. I just don't like when a restaurant smothers everything in refried beans and cheese and calls itself authentic. The last time I was in Colorado I ate at a place called Coronas...they had some of the best non-homemade green chile.

I've been to Mexico twice now (once to Puerto Vallarta and once to Tulum), and the food was beyond amazing. In Tulum we rented a house, which came with a housekeeper who would cook for us. Holy eff. That was great stuff. Homemade empanadas, carne asada, chile rellenos....we ate ourselves silly! In Puerto Vallarta (and San Pancho where our house was), we discovered some really great restaurants. Casa Isabel, up on the hill overlooking the Malecon had ridiculous spanish shortribs and chicken nachos. El Barracuda, on the beach, the waves nearly hit you during high tide. Incredible seafood. Ola Rica (in San Pancho), with their huge portions of molcajete, queso fundido, and mango habanero spiced pork tenderloin. Cafe Arte (in SP), was a tiny little hole in the wall. Humberto the chef and part owner (with his daughter) is from Chile I believe. My family flew in two days after us, so we were a party of 8...and we totally stumbled upon this place. We pretty much took over the entire restaurant, and ate whatever Humberto had left. Homemade salsa and bread, spicy garlicy shrimp, carne asada, ribs, and tequila. Lots and lots of tequila. He told us to come back in a few days for empanadas and beans. They were fantastic. I can't say enough great things about that place. Sorry this was so long, but I LOVE mexican food, and not surprisingly it's great in Mexico! :) Although I will say that there are a lot of Americanized places which seem to be against serving spicy, authentic food. So I avoided those. If I'm in Mexico I want good mexican food, not the dumbed down version.

Making homemade tortillas at my boss' house and piling them up with the most delicious mexican ingredients from the mexican markets in los angeles - all of this even while we were being crushed by massive deadlines. We worked from her studio in her house, made the food, sat in the yard and just relaxed before getting back to work. Those were the days. Beautiful sunny intense yummy days.

My mom's best friend was Mexican. I grew up telling people that she was my Tia Gerri cause she and my mom told people they were sisters. My Tia Gerri always thought my mom was too too skinny so she cooked her bum off to fill my mom full of food. Tia Gerri would give everyone else a plate of whatever she cooked then take the pot or serving dish in front of my mom and tell her to eat it all or she'd kick her ass. Gerri actually didn't have to make any threats to get my mom to eat her cooking because it was amazing. Tia Gerri always said she was AmerMexican because she cook cook authentic Mexican food (her family was from Mexico City originally) but she spoke not a single word (except curse words) of Spanish and she only understood curses in Spanish. Anyway, I grew up eating Chorizo & eggs, pork mole, homemade tamales, enchiladas, and hearty mexican soups and stews. The absolute best thing that I still remember to this day was something that Tia Gerri made in March 1987. She made Pork Mole from scratch for my nephew's first birthday party. My mom had died about a 1 and 6 months before my nephew was born and so to honor my mom's first grandbaby and to honor the baby Tia Gerri spent about 24 hours straight in her kitchen preparing a huge pork butt in mole sauce. She did every thing the old school way from using a mortar & pestle to grind the chiles, herbs and chocolate to selecting the pig for the cut of meat and slow roasting it. That pork mole was the BEST thing I ever ate. Everyone who came to that party had done a similar thing and made a traditional dish in honor of the baby's birthday and to honor my mom but to this day every one remembers standing around the stove in my sister's kitchen dipping into that pot of mole and pulling off pieces of juicy pork in the amazing mole. Funny thing is Gerri says that she has never been able to duplicate that pork mole that she made for that day. She says she cannot even come close to matching how incredible that dish turned out that day. It was truly made with love.

Below is the poem entitled Lord of Nothing which was written by poet
Kilmer. Please feel free to comment on this poem. However, please remember, PoetrySoup is a place of encouragement and growth.
Read Poems by
Stephen Kilmer
I am hearing the monks again
Their silent screams in the streets of Saigon
I thought they would leave me alone
But I am haunted by their aura
The bamboo vipers
And the smile of the tigers
Deep in the primordial
Why do they infect my soul?
Why can I let them be and they me?
It wasn't even my war.
I was too young to know
The inequities of war
Yet the birds fall around my feet
Every time I smell burning flesh
Perhaps I am too old for this skin of mine
A young man told me tonight
That he recognized me as a long lost grandfather
From his Mayan roots
Did I sacrifice other men to please the God's?
Or was I sacrificed and am now twice haunted.
Gooseflesh. The hair on my neck stands ups.
But what about the monks?

Metro history: Speed downhill, expect a D.C. traffic ticket
- Beware the radar. (Photo: flickr/horiavarlan)
Whether with speed cameras or vulture-like cops, Washington, D.C. has always been ready to punish those who would speed. Tickets mean revenue, and no police department has to be told that twice.
I present a brief piece of Metro history here from February of 1962 in an issue of Jet. The magazine featured a selection of different news items under the broad banner of "Talking About." Among these items was a bit of D.C. transportation that doesn't at all surprise me.
Here's what bothered drivers then:
How Washington, D.C. traffic department set up radar at the foot of hills out of sight in sparse residential sections of the city to trap motorists going down hill. Most of the speeding goes unheeded in predominantly Negro neighborhoods, while radar is frequently observed set up in well-to-do dominant white communities.
Sneaky, D.C. No wonder drivers speed up as they're driving downhill. I wonder how many tickets police gave out thanks to those 1960s radars. The racial dimension to how the District of Columbia enforced traffic law is also worth considering. I imagine the differing levels of enforcement impacted the safety of pedestrians at the time and created other problems, as speeding went "unheeded."
Read the February 1962 issue of Jet here and more pieces of Metro history here.

Andrea Wolf's win sealed the victory for the Musketeers.
Jan. 26, 2013
RICHMOND, Ky. - The Xavier women's tennis team won the early doubles point and earned a challenging 4-3 victory over Eastern Kentucky on Friday at the Greg Adams Indoor Tennis Center.
The match came down to two final courts and junior Andrea Wolf picking up a straight-set victory at the No. 5 singles position that clinched the first road win of the year for the Musketeers (2-1).
"Tonight was a very good early season win for us," head coach Eric Toth said. "Eastern Kentucky is a very good team that is especially difficult to beat at their place. Winning a tough match like this will give us nothing but added confidence as we move forward in our young season."
Wolf's decisive win (6-3, 6-2) over Marcela Jimenez was the third singles victory of the match for Xavier. Also winning their battles was senior Katie Pleiman at the top spot and freshman Alex Brinker at No. 2 singles.
Both made quick work of their opponents with Pleiman sweeping (6-4, 6-2) Amandie Faouzi and Brinker handling (6-1, 6-1) Kristina Labeja. Both players have 2-1 dual match records this season.
Xavier's No. 3 and 4 singles players both lost their matches after winning the opening set. Senior Kally Alkire won the opening set on a tiebreaker but couldn't hang on against Melissa Gerritsen. Sophomore Daniella Patton squeaked out an opening set win but eventually fell to Saioa Oscoz. Also losing her match was Lizzie Oosterbaan at the No. 6 singles position.
The Musketeers' victories at the No. 1 and 3 doubles positions were the difference in the match and were the first doubles point earned this season. Alkire and Pleiman knocked off (8-1) Labeja and Oscoz at the top position and Patton and Wolf defeated (8-5) Jimenez and Poffo at the third spot.
Brinker and Westling were upended by Faouzi and Gerritsen.
Xavier has the remainder of the weekend off and will play local foes Dayton and Miami (Ohio) next weekend. The Friday night match against Dayton marks the opening of Atlantic 10 play for the Musketeers.

TAF formed to support heritage tourism sites
The Bechtler House Feasibility Study is a part of an ongoing range of studies the Tourism Development Authority (TDA) plans to establish in the future to bring awareness of heritage tourism across the county.
The Bechtler House is the first of the heritage projects TDA is focusing on in order to keep the historic house intact as a museum. The plans come on the heels of the museum being open for the past year as part of the Town of Rutherfordton's 225th anniversary celebration.
The house, located on West Sixth Street, features Bechtler artifacts that includes the original press from the 1830s. The press came from the Federal Reserve in New York and is on a renewable five-year loan from the American Numismatic Society.
To help implement the heritage tourism plans,TDA last Thursday approved the creation of a Tourism Asset Foundation (TAF) to raise money to fund the historic sites across the county.
According to Michelle Yelton, who wrote the study, the TAF will focus on three major areas of tourism growth — history and heritage, outdoors and agriculture — to ensure these assets are adequately developed throughout the county to enhance the county's tourism economy as a whole.
One of TDA's three goals on the 2012-2013 strategic plans was to determine how to deliver on Bechtler asset developments.
Rutherfordton Town Council agreed Monday night, in concept,that it will support the purchase of the Bechtler House through money raised by TAF.
TAF's board could include two TDA board members/representatives and non-board stakeholders form other tourism areas across the county.
TAF could be responsible for managing funds held in the foundation, granting funds for the development of county tourism assets, developing the process by which grants are awarded and implemented; overseeing and working with TDA staff or contractor appointed to implement the funds and execute project goals and objects; and maintain a smaller balance of funds for projects in need of minimal funding.
Once a project is chosen for the particular year, the projects for the following year could be simultanelously selected and placed on the study, Yelton explained.
The TAF board would serve as Rutherford County's tourism industry by providing financial and staff support for projects that cannot be implemented because of lack of resources.
Immediate taks for TAF could include developing a mission statement and marketing/fundraising materials for the Bechtler campaign and TAF, fundraising and forming local and regional partnerships.
TDA will also assign one parttime employee or contractor to implement the plans for the annual TAF project including seeking grants applicable for project development, working with TAF to develop plans and strategies based on project needs and organizing fundraising events and soliciting donors.
Last week TDA allocated $25,000 in seed money to get the TAF up and running. Yelton will serve as the coordinator.
"Bechtler left us this legancy . . .now it is our time to do something with it," Yelton told Rutherfordton Town Council Wednesday night when she presented the plan.
She said the TAF 501 (c) 3 will fund tourism assets across the county, including historic trails, outdoors . . we will start with the Bechtler House but will make sure all county assets are represented on the board.

The Cinema of India
The Cinema of India closely examines 24 landmark films from one of the world's largest national cinemas. Assembling writings by renowned scholars of Indian cinema, each essay provides a novel framework to read a film and when considered together, a kaleidoscopic pattern emerges acknowledging the varied terrain of Indian film production and its reception both nationally and globally. The volume offers a comprehensive consideration of the histories of different regional cinemas; the role of the studios; the place of 'middle' cinema and its relationship to state subsidies; the style of popular films; the allure of stardom; the resistant style of art films; the resurgence of auteurism; and the poetics of documentary. This study discusses in-depth a wide range of films released over a period of more than sixty years, including Saint Tukaram (1936), Parasakthi (1957), Bhuvan Shome (1969), Ghattashradda (1977) and Ram Ke Nam (1991).
Lalitha Gopalan is Associate Professor in the Department of Radio-Television-Film at the University of Texas at Austin. She is the author of Cinema of Interruptions: Action Genres in Contemporary Indian Cinema (2002) and Bombay (2005).

LOS ANGELES (TheWrap.com) - Ricki Lake's return to daytime talk television is no more.
Twentieth Television announced Monday that "The Ricki Lake Show," which premiered in September, will not continue into the 2013-2104 season.
Declaring herself "so proud" of the series, Lake said that she will "continue to be an active and passionate voice for subjects that are close to my heart through a variety of platforms."
Lake also said that she will re-focus on making documentaries with Abby Epstein, with whom she partnered on the documentary "The Business of Being Born."
"I am so proud of the shows we completed this season, sparking important conversations about everything from raising children to mental illness to suicide prevention to coming out," Lake said. "I will continue to be an active and passionate voice for subjects that are close to my heart through a variety of platforms - and a return to my documentary filmmaking work with Abby Epstein. I am excited to create meaningful and provocative films similar to our 2007 project, 'The Business of Being Born.'"
Stephen Brown, executive vice president of programming and development at Twentieth Television, said that, while "we are all proud of the topics the program tackled," they were nonetheless "not able to to break through the crowded talk show marketplace."
Though Lake, who hosted a popular talk show from 1994 to 2003, brought experience as well as familiarity to the new gig, she re-entered the arena at a time that saw considerable competition from new talk shows hosted by the likes of Katie Couric, Anderson Cooper and Jeff Probst. Cooper's show, "Anderson Live," will end its run after its current second season.
Canada gets its own version of 'Storage Wars' and Canada's contractor Mike Holmes returns to fix the shoddy work of others in a new season of 'Holmes Makes It Right'.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. - UPCOMING GAMES: The New Mexico women's soccer team (0-2-1) comes home for the first time this season. The Lobos take on Northern Colorado (2-2) Friday at 6 p.m. and No. 16 Colorado (3-1), Sunday at noon.
"We are just excited to be at home," said head coach Kit Vela.
Neither game will be an easy win as Northern Colorado made an appearance in the Division II NCAA Tournament last year while Colorado is the 16th best team in the nation and the third ranked team in the Central Region according to the Sept. 8th NSCAA ranking. This is the first meeting between New Mexico and Colorado as well as Northern Colorado.
BEARS BRIEF: The 2003 season marks the first year of a four-year move to Division I for Northern Colorado's program. The Bears bring a host of newcomers into the program this season after graduating five seniors from last year's squad that was 13-5-1 overall and made an appearance in the Division II NCAA Tournament.
Northern Colorado is led by senior forward Jessica Brennan and freshman midfielder Mallorie Price on offense. Brennan, in three games played, has scored two goals on 11 shots. Price has played in all four games for the Bears and has score one goal on eight shots.
Also contributing to the Bears' success is senior goal keeper Shanna Swinehart. Swinehart has played all 360 minutes, giving up five goals on the season for a 1.25 goals-against-average. She has also made 28 saves on the year for a save percentage of .848.
Northern Colorado is on a two-game win streak after a trip to the Hoosier state turned out to be a complete sweep. The Bears got their first win of the season, 2-1, at Valparaiso Sept. 5. On Sunday, they downed St. Joseph's (Ind.), 2-0, getting goals form Brennan and freshman Laura Hassebroek.
BUFFALOES REVIEW: Following the Buffs' 3-0 blanking of then-ninth ranked Denver on Saturday, the Colorado soccer program finds itself nationally ranked for the first time in the program's eight-year history, coming in at 16th in the National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) poll released Monday.
"It's great," said third year head coach Bill Hempen."But the coaches' is just one of many polls, and ironically we're not receiving votes in the others. It's exciting to be thought of as the 16th ranked team in the country, but realistically, we're really one of the top 35."
"The reality is that it's early in the season and the polls change so much. Trying to maintain that ranking will be the issue," he said Saturday following the upset win.
Colorado finished the 2002 season 10-8-2, ending their season in the Big 12 Conference tournament to then nationally ranked (6th) Texas A&M.
This year, Colorado's surge has come from a trio of freshman and a pair of sophomores. Offensively, freshman midfielder Katie Griffin leads the team with two goals scored on eight shots. Sophomore midfielder Fran Munnelly, freshman midfielder/defender Jessica Ceresino and junior Jen Thais have each scored one goal and Munnelly and Ceresino also have an assist apiece.
Defensively, sophomore Jessica Keller has spent the majority of the time in the net but freshman Nikki Resnick has had some playing time as well. Keller is 2-0 in the goal, playing 183:36 minutes. She has made seven saves for a percentage of .875 while only giving up one goal for a goals-against-average of 0.49. Resnick is 0-1 in 90 minutes played. She allowed one goal for a GAA of 1.00 and made three saves for a .750 percentage.
In Colorado's last match, they beat MWC foe Wyoming, 2-1. The Buffaloes got goald from Maddy Minnis and Katie Griffin. Assists came from Kathryn Grandinetti and Orly Ripmaster.
The Buffaloes started to show their potential in the beginning of the season when they faced the then No. 2 nationally ranked Portland. Colorado fell 1-0 in overtime.
