Ron Kutter's white collar now has grass stains
How did you get started in the landscaping industry?
I used to work in the corporate world but was getting tired of the long hours. When my first daughter was born, I started looking for an avenue to be my own boss so I could control my own time, my own destiny. I left my job, went to the bookstore, and picked up a book about landscaping. Now, 20 years later, I have a fleet of trucks and 40 employees.
How does Mobil Delvac™ heavy-duty diesel engine oil help Kutter's Ground Maintenance succeed?
I rely on Mobil Delvac because the environment on the Gulf Coast can eat up your equipment. About 60 inches of annual rainfall. Humidity. Sand. My equipment needs to be able to tolerate salt, sand, and water. Constant hurricanes and tropical storms. And I can only maintain my fleet with consistent maintenance and good engine oil.
What's the most challenging part of your job?
You have to be ready for everything in Gulf Shores. We have pretty wild weather and there's so much that can go wrong in a matter of days that prevention is vital. I tell my customers: "Hey, we've had a hot dry summer, be ready for bugs and mole crickets." Or if we come into a long, wet rainy period, I tell them, "Look, you're going to start having weeds everywhere." I know they're coming and I'm going to start treating them before it happens.
What were some of your growing pains as you started your new business?
My first wake up call was in 1997 with Hurricane Danny. I was new—my company was just me. I didn't have the capability to remove sand like I do now so it was like trying to move a mountain with a wheelbarrow. I knew I needed to elevate my game so I bought my first tractor and became a full-service landscaping company that worked on installation, irrigation repairs and sand removal. Back in '97 I thought I knew everything, but I realized how much more work there was to do.

Grease and flour 1 (9-inch) tube pan or 1 (8 to 10-cup) fluted tube or bundt pan. Sift the cake flour, baking powder, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and salt together, then sift again into a large bowl. In another large bowl, beat the butter with an electric mixer on high speed until creamy. Gradually add the honey and 1/4 cup of the sugar to the butter and beat on high speed until well mixed, 2 to 4 minutes. Beat in the egg yolks, 1 at a time. Beat on low and add the flour mixture in 3 parts, alternating with the yogurt in 2 parts. Beat until smooth, scraping down the sides of the bowl as necessary. In another large bowl, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add the remaining 1/4 cup sugar, beating on high speed, until stiff. Fold the egg whites into the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake until a tester comes out clean, 45 to 55 minutes. Let the cake cool in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes and then invert the cake onto the rack and allow to cool completely.
In a small bowl combine the powdered sugar and rum and stir to combine. Mixture should be a stiff glaze. If the glaze is too thick, thin with a bit of milk. Using a spoon, drizzle the glaze all over the cake in a random pattern. Let the cake sit until the glaze has hardened. Serve.

Sleeper Report: Rookies
Brett Jackson – OF – Cubs
The 23-year-old prospect spent the 2011 season split in AA Tennessee and AAA Iowa where he batted .274 with 20 home runs and 21 stolen bases.
Jackson has the ability to be an easy 20-20 major league player if he can improve his swing mechanics and gain the ability to make contact against better pitching. Jackson has above-average bat speed to go with his above-average running speed. He works counts and will take walks, but he strikeouts too much. He doesn't look like a future .300 hitter, but he should draw enough walks to keep his OBP at more-than-acceptable levels.
Jackson will likely open the season in AAA Iowa, so be careful if you choose to draft him, but he will get the call at some point in 2012 and he will not likely be a free agent at the time of his call-up.

Here's a Minnesota Vikings Player Crying Because Why Not?
Alright, we don't literally have a photo of him crying, just a story about him crying. Him is Minnesota Vikings fullback Jerome Felton and this stupid SOB got suspended by the league for four games because he violated the substance abuse policy.
Oh, and does he get dumber? You bet your ass!
He did so by getting arrested for DUI in a McDonald's drive-thru. He gets the suspension because it was his second alcohol-related offense. So good work, there.
And now? He's crying.
"Man, it hurts a lot," Felton told USA TODAY Sports after the Vikings' preseason finale on Thursday night. "I've shed tears about it. It's embarrassing just for it coming back up."
Then he went on to cry some more.
"I don't cry about many things," Felton said. "But I definitely shed tears when it's dealing with all this stuff, just because you just feel like you're letting people down."
Of course you're letting people down. You're a Minnesota Viking. That's what you do. You let an entire moronic fanbase down every year.

Title : Pitman's pay; or, a night's discharge to care.
Format : chapbook ; song
Composer : Wilson, Thomas (b.1773 d.1858)
Production details : publisher : J. MarshallOld Flesh Market, Newcastle upon Tyne, Tyne and Wear
Date : 1826 (circa)
Collection name : Newcastle songster; being a choice collection of songs, descriptive of the language and manners of the common people of Newcastle upon Tyne and the neighbourhood. Part VI.
Long narrative poem about pitmen on a spending spree following their fortnightly pay. The domestic aspect of pit life was a common theme for songs written at this time and similar subjects can be found in Henry Robson's 'The collier's pay week' (circa 1800), and Alexander Barrass's 'Pitman's social neet' (1897).
Similar to the cheap press of today these poorly printed books and broadsides catered for popular tastes, being sold by chapmen in the country and booksellers in the town. Usually sold for no more than a penny, the production of these little books and broadsides were extremely profitable for most printers. Sold in bulk the material required little proof-reading, was widely plagiarised, and badly printed.
Newcastle was the second largest producer of chapbooks in the country at the time of this book's publication. 'The Newcastle Songster' was printed by J. Marshall, one of the most prominent chapbook printers in Newcastle during the early nineteenth century. This book forms part VI of the 'Songster' series and is perhaps easier to date than the preceding parts. Although it is not clear whether parts I and II of the 'Songster' were published before or after John Bell's 'Rhymes of the Northern Bards, 1812, references to the removal of the Vegetable Market from Sandhill in part VI, give some indication of the publication date.
Collection description : Popular Tyneside songs published in chapbook form.
First line:I sing not here of warriors bold
Subject heading : industry and occupation & domestic life
Keywords : miners & mining & money & wages

Democratic Republic of the Congo: Catch-as-catch-can
15-10-2003 News Release 03/128
In the past week, ICRC engineers have gone to the villages of Mudja and Rusayo, north-west of Goma near Virunga national park, to set up a rudimentary rainwater collection system. The result is that each house is now equipped with a strange-looking contraption consisting of a 300-litre barrel, a jerrycan, and a metal sheet used to catch rainwater.
The new system supplies some 5,000 villagers.
The residents of Mudja and Rusayo had to flee their homes after the volcanic eruption of January 2002. When they eventually returned, their water supply had disappeared and they were obliged to fetch water from Lake Kivu, almost 17 kilometres away. This has caused numerous health problems.
The new catchment system, set up with the help of local authorities, will enable the villagers to concentrate once again on growing food and will provide reserves for the dry season. Tanks with a capacity of 4,600 litres have been installed in public places for villagers living in makeshift shelters with no roof who are unable to set up their own water-collection system.
For further information, please contact:
Elizabeth Twinch, ICRC Goma, tel. ++250 0830 0461

Rutland again defies the oddsJuly 30,2014On Tuesday, July 22, the Gift-of-Life Mini Summer Marathon collected 376 pints of life-saving blood in one of the toughest months of the year to collect an adequate blood supply for the hospitals and patients the Red Cross serves.
I wish to thank the people of the greater Rutland area for their continued support and take this opportunity to apologize to those individuals who came to donate at the blood drive and either experienced a delay or were unable to donate due to a delayed start time.
Our staff members experienced some technical problems early on the morning of the drive. Immediate steps are being taken to mitigate these issues going forward. I apologize for the delayed opening of the blood drive. It was a challenging day, but the difficulties were overcome by teamwork and an amazingly dedicated community of donors.
I want to thank the volunteers who make blood drives such as this possible, and I particularly want to thank Steve Costello, vice president at Green Mountain Power, and Terry Jaye, program manager for Catamount Radio, who are the heart and soul of the Rutland Gift-of-Life blood drive. Their support and leadership has ensured the continued success of this semi-annual life-saving event.
Once again, a heartfelt thank-you to the people of the greater Rutland area. After last Decembers Gift-of-Life Marathon record-breaking blood drive, where we collected more than 2,300 units of lifesaving blood, your community continues to defy the odds. I am always amazed at the dedication of the people of Rutland for their pride of community service, but most important, to helping their fellow man. On behalf of the countless number of patients you have helped, thank you.

The plant, which will form part of the company's South African Vitamins division, will manufacture vitamin premixes for the food industry.
Two Gauteng-based companies, Barrow Construction and Narker Pougnet Kriel (NPK), were responsible for the construction and project management of the new plant respectively.
"Equipped with state-of-the-art production technology, the facility marks a significant advance in our productivity and ability to supply high-quality ingredients to food manufacturers, and it will support projects aimed at improving the delivery of critical vitamins to consumers," Roche Vitamins South Africa MD John Furniss told Engineering News Online.
The plant is the first part of a larger expansion project undertaken by the South African division. Phase two of the project will involve the construction of an additional facility to manufacture vitamin premixes for use in animal nutrition.
This specific expansion is still in its planning phase, but it is expected that the new facility will be completed within the next three years.
"These investments once again underscore the company's leadership as a supplier of vitamins to the food, pharmaceutical and feed industries," said Furniss, adding that the group's expanded manufacturing base in South Africa also serves to reinforce Roche's position as an important employer in the country and points to a very strong future of continued success for the vitamins division.
"Studies by independent institutes indicate that one in three children in South Africa has symptoms of vitamin A deficiency, and one way of combating this is to fortify basic foodstuffs with vitamin A, B and minerals, which is recognised by governments and leading food companies," Furniss explained.
"With the new plant in Isando we are now in a position to supply the necessary vitamin premixes to various food groups, such as infant foods, beverages, margarine, flour and maize meal," he added. Built in accordance with guidelines set by major food manufacturers, the facility will produce premixes satisfying the latest international standards of food hygiene.
While the bulk of the vitamin premixes produced by Roche South Africa will be used locally, a significant percentage will also be exported to sub-Saharan Africa. "With laws mandating the fortification of staple foods now being enacted in many African countries in cooperation with UNICEF and other organisations, we foresee exports to this region increasing gradually over the next few years," Furniss concluded.

Summary: Ampla Energia e Servi?os S.A. Jun 11
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services' ratings on Ampla Energia e Servi-os S.A. reflect its still-high level of past-due receivables and electricity losses, some debt amortization concentration, and a less-than-adequate liquidity position because of high capital expenditures and dividend distributions. Partly offsetting these risks are Ampla's adequate cash-flow protection metrics, supported by rising energy demand in its concession area and improving electricity losses. The consistent and favorable regulatory framework for energy distribution companies in Brazil is also an important component of our assessment of Ampla's business risk profile. We see Ampla's business profile as fair. The company reports steady and sizable residential and commercial customer bases and has exclusive rights to distribute electricity in part of the state of Rio de...

I am in awe of these awesome ladies. After the birth of my daughter, I wore a rotating wardrobe of roomy jeans, ratty t-shirts, well-worn sweatpants and PJs. I would never dream of wearing a revealing, skin tight, show stopping number. But these ten moms? They hit the red carpet showing off their proud post baby bods with confidence and style.
See their red hot "Check Me Out!" moments right after the jump:
Miranda Kerr 1 of 9Miranda Kerr is in the business of looking amazing, and since it is her job, it was a priority for her to get back into shape as quick as possible. And she did! Here is Miranda just three months after her baby Flynn was born.
Heidi Klum 2 of 9Who would strut their stuff on the runway just five weeks after giving birth? Heidi Klum of course! The model mom of four hit the runway for Victoria's Secret soon after her baby Lou Samuel was born.
Jessica Alba 3 of 9Seriously, this is amazing. Jessica Alba looked stunning on the red carpet just one month yes one month after her second child Haven was born.
January Jones 4 of 9January Jones went for daring cut out dress for the Man Men premiere in March, she gave birth to her six month before, but you would never know it by looking at her!
Claudia Schiffer 5 of 9Showing off her supermodel genes, Claudia Schiffer bounced back very quickly after the birth of her third child. Here she wears a short stylish dress about six months after giving birth.
Halle Berry 6 of 9Halle Berry wore a skin tight dress on the red carpet six months after her daughter Nahla was born...and looked very proud of her post baby bod!
Nicole Kidman 7 of 9It seemed that Nicole Kidman didn't gain that much weight when pregnant with her first baby Sunday, so it's no wonder that she got back into shape in no time! Here she is beaming in a beaded gown six months after Sunday's birth.
Jennifer Garner 8 of 9Jennifer Garner made her post baby red carpet debut after the birth of her third child in April, her son Samuel was born just two month before.
Gwen Stefani 9 of 9Gwen Stefani wasn't just able to fit into her old clothes six months after the birth of her second son, but she was on the stage performing.

Candidiasis Prevention Tips
April 2000
Maintain good oral health: brush teeth daily, gargle with antiseptic mouthwash (like Listerine) and floss.
Decrease or avoid sugars (corn and maple syrup, glucose, fructose and sucrose). Sugars are food for candida and help it to grow.
Decrease or avoid alcohol. Alcohol converts to sugar and promotes the growth of candida.
Ingest large amounts of garlic (fresh is considered best -- mince and put into empty gelatin capsules, up to six cloves a day). Garlic is believed to have some natural antifungal properties and may help to prevent candidiasis.
Drink milk or eat yogurt that contains acidophilus bacteria. Acidophilus is "friendly" bacteria which helps keep our body in balance and able to fight of "unfriendly" bacteria and fungus, like candida.
Apply yogurt containing "friendly" bacteria directly into the vagina (such as
Lactobacillus bifidus
Lactobacillus acidophilus
Wear loose fitting clothes to help prevent vaginal candidiasis, since these allow areas of the body ventilate better and dry out.

Patient: He has a drifter look, messy hair, plaid shirt and cords. Young but talks like he has had years of experiences. He plays with a coin, flipping it through his fingers. During the play he gets increasingly calmer and more comfortable. Never stops his smug and knowing smile. Interrupts himself a lot. He is fidgety but in a comfortable and composed way.
Psychiatrist: Boring, clean shaven, hair combed back. He wears a white doctors coat. Intelligent enough in a traditional sense, he cant keep eye contact with the patient. Speaks in a monotone voice until the end of the play.
Patient is on one side of a table. He is picking at his nails and leaning back in his chair, looking around uninterestedly at the Psychiatrists office. Psych enters and sits down never looking at the patient; he opens a folder and reads over it.
I actually think its kind of an honor to be called crazy you know?
Is that so? Well I am here to determine just how intact your sanity is Mr. hmm
(Shuffles through papers looking for patients name is a little confused when he cant find it)
I always thought that the ah, sanest people, were just the best liars. You see you, people, you ah, you resent all things phenomenal. While the people you call crazy they embrace it. They understand it. I do not think that the people you keep in this building are insane. I think, they
are enlightened. I think they resonate with a higher meaning.
So what about the guy on the fourth floor who tried to kill someone because they stepped on a worm he claimed was his mother. Are you saying he is not crazy?
I believe that there is as much truth in that, as he wanted there to be. I mean what is a mother in the philosophical sense? That which gives you life, am I right? Now. Although the worm obviously did not give birth to the man in question
It, does fertilize the soil. The earth from which he gets everything he needs to stay alive. And although this mans actions are obviously uncalled for. I do not think they make him crazy. Since when did society decide on what was acceptable to kill for? Millions of people have died. For stones, for land, for oil. I think a worm, a creature that is essential to our survival, is a far better reason to kill then diamonds or petrol.
So you are saying what he did was perfectly sane and acceptable.
Im saying its understandable. Just as killing a man who killed someone dear to you would be understandable. It, it still doesnt make it right, but its understandable.
Hmmm... (Disappointed he reaches for something else to challenge the man with) What about all the young men on the 2nd floor who hear voices? Who talk to people, to things, that are not there.
Do you pray?
I dont see how
Do you curl up at in your little bed at night, and ask your almighty lord to indulge your fancies?
In so many words yes I suppose I do pray everyday for the well being of my loved ones.
(He takes the coin he was fingering and spins it on the table) So what is the difference between you and them? Other then they carry out an intelligent two-way conversation with the beings they hear, about things other then
(Grins and raises an eyebrow) spicing up the relationship with the wifey...
Are you saying that I am crazy?
Are you saying youre sane? (He puts his finger on the coin stopping its rotation)
(Patient spins coin again while psych is collecting his thoughts) Millions of people pray all over the world it's an age old ritual. (Starting to show his anger) And who are you to call me crazy? You're the one who is going to spend the rest of your life thrashing around a padded cell. (He picks the coin up and throws it out of the window)
Iiiif hundreds of millions of people, carried out conversations with immaterial voices, do you think they would all be locked up? If a hundred million people claimed that a coconut was the embodiment of a god, it would be accepted. Insanity is masked in numbers.
That's just
(Exasperated and exhausted sigh) I'm not going to get sucked into this right now. I have a family to get home to, and my favorite show is going to start soon. So Im just going to get down to it. (Returning to his monotone voice) Now what is it exactly that you do?
I travel.
Yes I am a traveler.
Where is it you travel too?
Wherever I am needed.
(Confusedly) I see
and how old are you? It says here that you are 17.
I suppose if your sheet says it, it must be true.
Yes, well you have certainly been causing a lot of problems. Trying to cloud the eyes of good people.
I havent said anything that was not true. But. Of course. Im nothing but a delusional madman, so why are you so worried about what I have been saying?
(Under his breath) Now thats the truest thing youve said yet
Do you now why you have been brought here?
Your scared.
You have been seen teaching your anti-Christian message in five good Texan towns now. And there are reports of people who actually, (starts to get angry but returns to a professional but obviously very angry voice) who actually believe the
the things you are saying.
Christianity has lost its originating principles. Instead of helping people it has eroded. It has become a, a fear based lie. Instead of giving money to the poor, you ask the poor to donate to the richest enterprise on earth. I a good friend of mine used to say that a religion that takes no account of practical affairs and does not help to solve them is no religion.
That was Ghandi...
(Mockingly) Very good!
Where do you get off comparing yourself to a man such as that.
Well thats not fair... I just started... (To himself but audible)
(Ignores patient starts getting flustered) Gandhi was an amazing man; Martin Luther King was an amazing man. (Patient nods happily at the compliments) You, youre shit who is going to rot in this dump for the rest of his life.
(He pulls out a shot glass and a plastic water bottle pours the water in the bottle) Put me in the looney bin for merely speaking my truth. (scoffs) No wonder Im here now. This world is way more fucked up then last time. (He then puts his hand over the glass covering it completely.) Tell me doc do you know why so many people have been listening to my crazy talk? Because... Well Im pretty good at
lets say, delivering
speech. (He takes his hand off the glass the water has changed to a rich red color. Smiling even more widely then before he downs the glass spilling some down his chin stands up and calls for security) Guards! Take this man away!
(Stunned into his seat the psychiatrist stutters as he watches the guards take the patient away) What, what did you say your name is?
(Not allowing the guards to roughly drag him away) I didnt. (He winks, smiles even broader, and flips the doctor the coin and lets the guards take him away)

Eating disorders are something that people tend to ignore considering that girls and women these days tend to be eating less to maintain a slim figure. The fact is that eating disorders like anorexia nervosa are a very serious problem and there is need for attention to be paid in this regard by the government.
In a report, MSP Dennis Robertson, a politician has recently revealed how he lost his daughter Caroline, 18- years –old, to this eating disorder. This calls for further awareness drives to be launched to make more and more people aware about the same and help in fighting these disorders that tend to ebb away the health and life of the society.
"Two days before she died, I promised her I would stand. At the time, we thought she was on the road to recovery. This is Eating Disorder Week and Saturday will be the first anniversary of Caroline's death", revealed Mr. Robertson.
He further revealed that he wants to focus upon making people aware and prepared to fight the disorder because of the personal brunt he has had to bear due to the same.
He and his entire family are of the view that there is need for more work to be done to make people aware about the disorder and help them realize how important it is for them to eat healthy and nutritious food.
People need to understand that the symptoms of the disease shouldn't be ignored and there is need for seeking help for the same as soon as the symptoms are witnessed.
He revealed how he and his wife, Ann has felt helpless and devastated when they couldn't do anything to help their daughter suffering from the same disease.

Sideways Wins Six at Independent Spirit Awards
by Eugene Hernandez
At the Independent Spirit Awards this afternoon in Santa Monica, CA, the Independent Feature Project presented 18 awards honoring the best of independent film for the past year.
"Sideways" was the days big winner, nabbing six awards. The film won the best feature trophy, the best director award for Alexander Payne, and the film was singled out for its acting this year. Paul Giamatti won the prize for best male, Thomas Haden Church accepted the award for best supporting actor, and Virginia Madsen was recognized as best supporting actress.
"I think exciting things are happening right now for independent film," said Alexander Payne, accepting his screenplay prize. "I think it's an exciting time for independent, personal, auteur... whatever we want to call it -- films."
"The one thing that is so independent spirited is seeing a lot of people that I clawed my way up with," said Haden Church. Accepting his prize, Paul Giamatti said, "I am neither spirited nor particularly independent in anyway, but it is awfully nice to be surrounded by folks who are."
"Maria Full of Grace" was a noteworthy winner, honored for best female lead for the acclaimed debut performance of Catalina Sandino Moreno and the best first screenplay award for the films writer and director Joshua Marston.
"If you see their faces -- these four women -- you see diversity," said Sandino Moreno, acknowledging the independent spirit of her fellow nominees in the lead acting category.
Zach Braff's "Garden State" won the prize for best first feature. Receiving his award, Zach Braff noted that four years ago he sat outside the Spirit Awards watching people arrive for the ceremony. "It is so thrilling to be invited, to be inside this tent, let alone being on stage."
The award for best documentary went to Bruce Sinofsky and Joe Berlinger for their film, "Metallica: Some Kind of Monster."
Documentarians Zana Briski and Ross Kauffman won the DirecTV/IFC Truer than Fiction award with the $20,000 cash prize and producer Gina Kwon was presented the Bravo/American Express Producers Award, also a $20,000 prize, for her work on such films as "The Good Girl" and "Me and You and Everyone We Know."
Filmmaker Jem Cohen won the Turning Leaf Someone to Watch Award, including a $20,000 cash award. On stage, recalling a recent incident in which he had film confiscated by authorities while he was shooting a passing landscape from a train window. Cohen commented, "I've been shooting landscapes from trains for as long as I have been making films -- documenting the world we live in is the very basis of my life as a filmmaker." Continuing he emphasized, "I think to be silent about such incidents, to pretend that they aren't happening is disrespectful to the Constitution and the Bill of Rights and to independent spirit itself."
The prize for best foreign film went to Alejandro Amenabar for his feature, "The Sea Inside." Accepting his award, the director recalled the first time he started thinking about the movie, while he was starting out at the ocean. Here in Santa Monica today, he noted, brought a nice sense of closure as he looked out at the Pacific. "This is the most beautiful award of all," Alejandro Amenabar beamed, "Thank you very much."

In some previous posts we did mini feedbacks on Bolt, Marley & Me, and the Japanese movie about a loyal dog Hachiko Monogatari. Currently I'm waiting to watch the American version of Hachiko – A Dog's Story starring Richard Gere.
Actor Richard Gere's interest in Asia is not limited to Buddhism and to the Dalai Lama: he's also been touched by the story of Hachiko, a dog of breed Akita who lived in Japan more than half a century ago and who rose to fame because of his unconditional love for his owner. Gere has been so moved that he's been pushing for an American movie adaptation of the story (some people would say a remake of the Japanese movie based on the same true story), even going to co-produce the film with his own money!
Hollywood has embraced dog movies for years and every time they come out with something new, I always give them a go. The ones that usually interest me most are the ones that are based on true stories. Let's face it. Bolt was funny. Lady and the Tramp was cute and romantic, but Marley & Me gave me the deepest connection that I will never forget. Why? Simple. I can relate to the story.
This particular movie about Hachiko was one of the many animal movies where the American Humane Society was present. Their job is to make sure that none of the animals are harmed during the filming. I highly respect that and am happy to know that these dogs are not mistreated. Seriously, if a dog movie was outstanding, yet we later learn that the dog stars were abused I'd be so pissed.
I know I keep saying that I'm waiting for the American version to come out, but I still haven't even seen the original Japanese movie. Hopefully I can find it somewhere and watch it before August. I have a feeling I'm going to cry watching these. Sigh…I'm so weak.
Tangent. Did you know that there were 22 different dogs playing the same character, Marley? Incredible! I've always had small dogs all my life, but there are times where I have passing thoughts about getting bigger dogs like a lab, husky or an akita…ha! They're pretty darn cute and irresistable. I just wouldn't look forward to picking up doo doo.
So what's YOUR favorite dog movie of all time?

The Sangamon County Sheriff's Department is now investigating the first homicide in its jurisdiction since 2012.
Coroner Cinda Edwards says Justin Sharp, 25, was killed by a single gunshot wound to the back. Sharp was found outside a home near Highland and Whittier shortly after 7:30 Friday morning.
That area is patrolled by the Sheriff's Dept., not Springfield Police. Undersheriff Jack Campbell says the investigation is just beginning.
"Now we need to talk to everyone that was in his life," said Campbell. "We will begin to talk to every person we can come in contact with that knew him and knew who his friends were and what have you."
The department doesn't have anyone in custody. A search warrant for Sharp's home turned up several items of "evidentiary value," including some caged pitbulls.

Nike, do it!
May 7, 2012 BY Aaron Hope / 15
The Nike Blazer is about to celebrate its 40th anniversary, and there's a good reason even people who've never set their feet to griptape absolutely love the Nike SB drops. The Blazer is an icon of timeless basketball style, but vulcanized soles are also a whole heckuvalot more comfy when they're aided by Zoom Air inserts as in the case of those SBs. And we've seen the
6.0 Action Sports division trot out a similar embedded cushion made of LunarLon recently, but what would happen if the Swoosh's original b-ball design got a full-on tech refresh? It'd look something like the photos Tung Ho just tweeted wherein a mesh-uppered Blazer hightop is depicted atop a LunarRacer-like sole that both makes obvious its upgrade and ties in perfectly with the 'Dunkman'-leaning colorup. These aren't expected to see the light of day at retail, but if Nike Sportswear ended up selling these, would you buy a pair?
Filed under: Basketball Nike Lunar Sample
Tags: Nike Blazer High
Nike, do it!
def would buy
I dont know these could be off the chain
Reminds me of the dunkesto ronaldinho neon ish
these look soo comfortable lol
love blazers, love lunars, please sell these....
Similar to a Rejuven8
god help us....... nike HQ: what should we do? answer: let's bastardize our whole heritage and turn everyone off at the same time. congrats nike a new low. Look for these in an outlet near you.
loads of potential
Fresh i would cop
no bueno from the picks but makes me wonder what a sole swap (if possible) would look like.

Senator Lisa Mukowski is calling for a national commission to investigate challenges facing Alaska Native and America Indian children. She introduced the legislation today, along with a Democrat from North Dakota, Heidi Heitkamp, who sits on the Indian Affairs committee with her. Murkowski spoke on the Senate Floor and echoed a group of children from Tanana who gave a courageous talk at AFN.
"We have to speak out. Even though we have been told don't talk about this, don't talk about this because it might shame your family, these children had the courage to step forward and say this is not right. We are taught to respect our elders, but when our elders don't respect us, we are going to speak out," said Murkowski.
The Alyce Spotted Bear and Walter Soboleff Commission on Native Children would conduct a study into concerns like high rates of poverty and unemployment, child abuse, domestic violence, and drug abuse. Murkowski acknowledged that some people doubt the effectiveness of new commissions, but said this could help inspire some hope.
"We are trying to look at this holistically, through the education system, the health care system and through the justice system. And I am really quite pleased to be able to work with my colleague on this initiative. I don't think that there is anything more important that we can be doing for our young people than to offer them a ray of hope," said Murkowski.
The 11-member group would make recommendations on ways to better use current programs and resources. The commission would also seek to build partnerships with private organizations and improve the quality of data about native youth.

Any cyclists here?
I decided being a motorcyclist wasn't dangerous enough, so I have decided to cycle to and from work once or twice a week!
Though I've ridden on the roads before (and obviously have enough road sense to have survived... 14 years(!) as a biker) I'm very nervous of my first cycle home today in traffic (train in, cycle home, to break me in gently). This may in fact end up being my obituary...
I kid, the first chunk is a cycle path away from the road to get used to my clipless pedals (so when I fall over I fall into a bush, not a truck), so I will be fine. Also I know from experience that my bones are made of rubber.
So any fellow cyclists? Any tips to get back into it?
Another cyclist here
I'm a cyclist (and training for John O'Groats to Lands End in June at the moment) - I commute in a couple of times a week: 25 miles - cycle in, train home usually.
Best advice I can think of is to sort out a decent route, use something like Schwalbe Marathon tyres and carry 2 spare inner tubes as well as a puncture repair kit - but then, I cycle through Camden which appears to be the broken glass centre of the universe. There are a surprising number of cycle paths around the place (I come into London down the A1 ...!)
Oh, and get a windproof/waterproof cycling top if you're cycling more than about 5 miles at the moment. I nearly froze my face off on Sunday, but was fine where I was covered in Gore Windstopper stuff!
No one here ...
... but us chickens!
Keep smiling
They say you can tell a happy cyclist by all the dead flies on their teeth!
Worth taking a mile or two detour through quieter roads as main road cycling is just no fun. If you are going a distance or plan other routes, join/get info from Sustrans.
Depending on distance (and weight!) and saddle, may need padded shorts/underpants for a time.
Be wary of squeezing up side of any large vehicles especially approaching a left turn.
Don't jump lights, don't bang on car bodywork, even if driver is a bastard, just grin and ignore or get a compressed air horn (or water pistol with brake fluid!)
If no air horn, must have bell but (from experience) don't use it coming up behind horses and their riders (unless they have a Novice jacket on when it's good fun).
Yes to best clothing you can afford.
Water bottle but no fizzy drinks, real ale better than lager.
Keep smiling
I've heard it all....
A duck on a bicycle.... Sounds positively quackers to me.
Still, duck pancakes for tea tonight methinks :)
It was a pleasure knowing you though!
And Paul's right about the padding - I've got a bike in the garage that was used about twice because it was a definite pain in the posterior.
Go for it
You will fall off if you are new to clipless pedals!
Make sure you are highly visible, have good lighting if you are cycling in the dark, good clothing is essential, overshoes are also useful in rainy conditions (unless you have goretex mountain bike shoes!)
Treat everyone else on the road as an idiot and you will survive.
Enjoy the superior feeling you get over you car or train bound colleages as you parade your healthy glow around the office
ps the saddle soreness does go away .....eventually!!!
I'm going to die aren't I...
So cycle to train, catch train for 1 stop, cycle on road, on cycle path in woods (get mugged, fight off muggers, steal their wallets), then onto road for a few miles.
Aprehensive to say the least!
Wish me luck...
Forget cycling to work
Go on the webb find some disused railway lines converted into cycle tracks or canals or rivers. You can even cycle the thames. Cycling on the road is too dangerous, there are too many Lycra boys out there.
My old Rayleigh ...
... had proper clipless pedals, not these new fangled clipless pedals that do actually have a clip!
Oh, and my car has clipless pedals too - be pretty dangerous otherwise!!
Well I didn't die...
Getting my bike onto a commuter train for a stop was the hardest part, the trail was fun and good practice for unclipping (which I still haven't mastered), the road was just pot holes (but that's Sheffield for you) with a few meters of actual road every now and again. No-one knocked me off, no-one beeped me (even though I was clearly having a little trouble holding a straight line at times. Going from a heavy motorbike I can barely move with the engine off to a push bike I can, and in fact did, put on my shoulder and jog up some stairs with, is a change to say the least!)
I'm adopting the maxim of 'better to cycle a mile or 2 out of your way in order to avoid traffic/have a cycle lane', so my future cycles will be based on 'how easy will the ride be' rather than 'how short/quick'.
Oh, got a heckle, 'Go on Wiggins!'. Hardly a heckle, but now I feel like a part of the community (took me ages to get my first 'Get tha' knees up' while running :( )
If you really want to
stop the traffic you could always do a "full monty" to work.
Another 100 gms of carbon saved - well done.
One tip with the pedals, you'll find one easier to unclip that the other, remember which and always use the easy one at junctions otherwise you'll end up with your life flashing before you as you tip over.
I last did it in Dorset next to a pub full of rugby fanatics watching a match and got the biggest cheer of the day.
First full ride home, about 9 miles ranging from a dual carriageway 30mph zone with a cycle lane, to a single lane national speed limit road with a ravine to the left of it. My life flashed before my eyes so many times it was like meeting Michael Aspel!
I resisted the urge to rant at drivers who were trying to kill me (or at best deliberatly trying to stop me getting past them) and just went with it. Had to cycle past my (right) turn as I was too scared to move across the lane with cars bombing along at 60 behind me, but it only added a mile or so to my journey.
My foot caught in the pedal at one point, so I pulled over and loosened the tension which made it much easier.
Oh, and I had a nice long downhill which scared me to death, meaning I had my brakes on all the way down to try and keep control. Oh and I almost rode over a crash barrier in my haste to get off a roundabout!
But I didn't die, so chalk it up to experience!
How many
lycra boys flew past you?
Just one!
lycra boys flew past you?
Well, oddly only 1 cyclist came past me (amusingly he said 'On your right' causing me to think 'God the voices in my head are getting clearer every day!' and making me swerve a little as I looked for who had said that (ok, so I should have assumed 'someone on my right', but I only processed it as he whizzed past me so it was just a voice at that point :) )).
I had someone in 'street clothes' just behind me for a mile, making no attempt to get past me despite me going quite slowly while I got into the swing of things. But then to him perhaps I looked like a 'Lycra boy' (I was in lycra with a proper cycling shirt on, but only because I'd been bought them) and he might have been afraid to come past.
I keep having flashbacks to that downhill section and the feeling I was just going to gain speed till my wheels fell off and I slid into the path of a lorry, I feel like I've been in 'Nam...
The other
comment they use is "coming through". Lycra boys don't have bells for some reason. Perhaps it's a weight thing, anyway I have to admire them for the speeds they can get uo to.

Monday, December 13, 2010
There were few things the late Frank "Pooley" Griffith enjoyed more than his train collection, and sharing it with others.
From 1-4 p.m. on Dec. 18 at 4791 County Rd. 105, Griffith's family and friends will continue that tradition when they once again open his Christmas train display to area residents.
"We do it primarily to keep his spirit alive," said friend Mike Lewis, who attended many train shows with Griffith and has helped with the display for five years. "He loved kids and he loved sharing his trains."
David Nelson, Griffith's nephew, said the collection started off as a single 10x5 table at another location.
"That wasn't big enough, so we moved it out here to the work shed, and then he knocked out some offices to put in more tables," Nelson said. "Now we have close to 70 trains that run at one time."
He said his uncle was always interested in trains because "they were a part of his youth."
"They kept him young," Nelson said. "He always felt like there's a kid inside of all of us."
Lewis, who started driving Griffith to train shows when he was no longer able, agreed with that assessment, recalling the year they ordered the circus train and circus set.
"He was 75 then and I was probably 50, and we put it together in one night like we were 5 years old," Lewis said. "I would take him to the shows and we would load up the car because we bought so much."
He said his favorite part of continuing the display after Griffith's death in August 2008, is watching other older people relive their childhoods through Griffith's hobby.
"There are men in their 70s and 80s and their grandkids will say, 'Let's go,' and they'll say, 'Not yet,'" Lewis said. "They love it because that's what they used to play with when they were kids.
"I think it's important to see how they come out and wonder (at the collection)."
Nelson said his favorite out of all the displays — which also include mountain scenes, farms, battles, towns and fairs — is the S-gauge train table.
"They're a little more cantankerous, but they're a little more true to size as far as the cars and buildings go," he said. "When they get to rolling and smoking, they put out beautiful smoke, so it looks like a real train."
Like Lewis, he said his favorite part about sharing the collection each year is "seeing other people enjoy something I helped build."
"It's for those who want to feel young again, and for those who are already young," Nelson said. "For the kids, when they hear all the noise and see all the lights, it's quite a scene — it just fascinates them.
"For the older ones, we always have people come up and say, 'When I was a kid I had a train just like that.' It brings back the good old days, and I think that's what a lot of people need these days."
To get to the Christmas train display from Fulton, make a right on St. Eunice and follow it all the way to the end of the gravel. Take a left at the end of St. Eunice. Approximately 1 mile down, on the left, there will be signs for Griffith Poultry Farm and the train display. If you reach the bridge, you've gone too far.

Justin Bieber
Justin Bieber Apologizes For Second Racist Video (VIDEO)
Justin Bieber is making a public apology for the second time in the past week — this time expressing remorse over the video that hit the web yesterday.
That shocking footage shows Justin, who was 14 at the time, parodying his song "One Less Lonely Girl" by subbing in a racial epithet — while joking about killing black people and earning membership in the Ku Klux Klan.
That video came days after another one, in which a then-15-year-old Justin uses the same slur in the punchline of a joke.
"Facing my mistakes from years ago has been one of the hardest things I've ever dealt with," Justin emotes in a statement published by Us Weekly. "But I feel now that I need to take responsibility for those mistakes and not let them linger. I just hope that the next 14-year-old kid who doesn't understand the power of these words does not make the same mistakes I made years ago. At the end of the day I just need to step up and own what I did."
Scooter Braun, Justin's manager, tried a little spin control on Instagram, writing, "Some mistakes have no excuses. They are just wrong. But how a man reacts to those mistakes… How he owns it and learns from it… That defines him more than the mistake itself."
Here's hoping Justin doesn't have cause for a third apology this week…

how many females?
I have 3 male Gouramis, It would be fine if I only get 3 females?, I've read they must be keeping in sexed pairs.
More girls please.
I agree with Tankfull. It's almost always better to have more females than males. With some species, once a pair bond has been established, one male to one female is best. With gouramis, I have noticed that there is always a pecking order and it usually works from biggest to smallest on down the line. If your males are getting along and you're not interested in breeding, you might just leave things as they are. Otherwise, I'd do at least 2 females for every male.
thanks for the comments !
I got 3 Dwarf Gouramis (redfire) since 1 month ago, and most of the time they're doing well, but sometimes, they are chased by the Tiger Barbs or the Yoyo Loachs; these last two have less time on the tank.
so I started think in a new tank, may be 15 or 20 gal, for them, then if they are going to be in a tank just for them I could add some females too. If I let them alone in a new tank, I mean with no females, don't you think they could become agressive between themselves?
They are gorgeous. I'd want to spawn them haahha.
Tiger barbs are jerks sometimes. How many do you have in the tank ? Your photos are beautiful. Whatever you decide with the gouramis, make sure there is plenty of cover for them to hide. Floating plants are best and they help with water quality also.
I was thinking to include the Hydrocotyle leucocephala
Hmmm, those tiger barbs might start to harass other fish. If i was to have tigers i would make sure that there are no less then 8. but if your tank is happy, just leave it.
Anyway I'd like to keep the Gouramis on their own tank, and to keep the Barbs like the main specie on the 55; I guess I could add two or three more female Barbs.
Now I think about; the only ones who chase the Barbs are the Yoyo Loaches, actually the Barbs don't likes to mess with them. LOL!

Flicked Off: "Bruno"
Bruno is a semi-guerilla comedy semi-documentary about an extremely annoying, self-involved, sexually-predatory, sexually-harassing, apolitical Austrian gay man played by a heterosexual British citizen from an Orthodox Jewish family of complicated history.
I do not care if Bruno is good for the gays. You know what is good for the gays? A nice dinner at a very expensive restaurant with exceptional service and a dessert on the house, followed by, most likely at a different location, some good old-fashioned ass-fucking. Also maybe a week-long trip to a tiny island on the eastern side of the Peloponnesus.
I think that now it is impossible for a film or television experience to be "good" or "bad" for any group of people. There is no overwhelming media; there is no visual industry that can sway a society, maybe not even incrementally. You know what is good for the gays? Facebook. Also getting it on in rooms with lots of mirrors.
There are a couple few very true things, in my vast experience, about gay men, besides that they like a great vacation. One is that in at least one point in absolutely any interaction with another man, except in times of life-threatening emergency or other extreme distraction, a gay man has thought, of the other man, "What would it be like to fuck him?"
Gay men are predatory animals, with sex often foremost on their minds, when they are not practicing ikebana or shopping.
Although. All men, to be sure, are constantly thinking about putting body parts inside other body parts. Men think about sex a lot!
Hmm! Hold the phone. So this is really a way in which mammals of both genders are alike, don't you think? One day at an office where I worked, I sat around with the women and we had a long, strongly-opinionated conversation about which male co-worker was the most well-hung. (We all pretty much came to the same conclusion.)
Then the women probably went down to Anthropologie to look at the new clothes. Women!
Why does the idea that all gay men are predatory linger? When you compare the numbers, 15% of men who lived with other men in couples reported sexual assaults or stalkings, but a whopping 25% of women college students reported sexual assaults or attempted sexual assaults, bout 3/4s of those by men known to them. So men are actually predatory, as they are burdened with chemicals and penises; gay men slightly less so, because they are burdened with socialization.
Recently, while scheduling an interview for "mainstream media outlet" with a mid-level celebrity personage, I was sent a release form. "Attached is a nondisclosure agreement," wrote the publicist handling. Lots of other people were going to be interviewing this personage, and "practically everyone has signed an NDA," emailed the publicist, after she received my flabbergasted email (written mostly in all-caps). She meant journalists! The NDA said that some information I might learn in the course of reporting might be what they called Confidential Information:
I shall not myself… prepare or assist in the preparation of any audio visual or written work or any other work, material or project whatsoever that depicts, concerns or relates in any way to the Program or my presence or participation in the production of the Program or to any Confidential Information hereto…. I agree to pay Producer, and its successors, licensees and assigns, at least the sum of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) per breach plus disgorgement of any income that I may receive now or in the future, as liquidated damages in the event I breach this Agreement at any time… I will return all documents, notes, copies, or other materials provided by Producer or created by me which contain Confidential Information to Producer…."
It may make for their disappointment that I do not have "One Million Dollars," not that that is an issue, as of course I did not sign it. In any event, it is an NDA so absurd and onerous that you might think it would make the process of actually speaking to anyone (much less reporting) totally useless.
And yet: apparently "practically everyone" signed this. So we know that people will sign a release form the second anyone hands one to them, even when it runs counter to their best interests.
And that is just like how everyone ended up in Bruno. "Oh, we are making a documentary about an Austrian television star; sign this, please." That particular release surely says, if anyone has ever actually read it, that the company doing the shooting may utilize all recordings made of the release-signer and exploit them in any and all media, including "selling" those recordings to a related company, one that is producing a different film.
It's even easier if you're staging an event. "Signed the waver, left the phones and everything in the truck, checked our ID's at least twice," wrote an attendee of a staged Bruno event in Arkansas, before he was, you know, surprised by what he described as a "fag makeout session" and what I describe as "just another Saturday night."
When did we become a people so willing, in some cases so desperate, to be filmed, that we sign away limitless and unintelligible rights at the drop of a hat?
How come everyone is so flipped out about what Tony Scott referred to as "a specially modified exercise machine" in the Times today (answer: IT IS MODIFIED TO HAVE A DILDO ON IT!) but no one ever mentioned an essentially-similar product put to use in the Coen Brothers' Burn After Reading? Does it just look better next to George Clooney? A perusal of the Internet will demonstrate, in any event, that these sorts of things seem to find generally, though not totally, heterosexual use, in any event. Also they are mostly funny-gross. Bruno parodies gay sex quite outrageously. But at the end of the movie, all I could really think was that sex is always really gross, whether you are dressing up for it or not. Consider the blow job! Consider it again! You're going to put the weird wrinkling peeing thing in your WHERE? Because WHY, AGAIN?
Outside the Bruno screening, I did see:
A. One woman in her early 30s in a totally adorable outfit who had laughed at the movie but had felt very conflicted about it and also felt quite a bit as if she'd been punched.
B. One devastatingly good-looking gay man, born 1964, who was violently and not at all wrongly upset.
C. One cheery gay man, in his 60s, who thought it was the funniest thing he'd ever seen and was absolutely all smiles.
D. A group of oddly good-looking people in their 20s, who all quite enjoyed the movie, but all sheepish about saying so and felt guilty because their gay friend had just left and was totally miffed by the movie.
E. And me, who is going to delay a hasty judgment just this once, until after he sees it again with his boyfriend. I might hate it! I might think it's funny and stupid! I'm still impressed by anything that riles people up so strongly. Though of course, as Bruno would point out, Hitler riled people up too, didn't he.

A young married couple was celebrating their first Christmas together when a crash took their lives.
According to the St. Augustine Police Department, Trevor and Jennifer Leonardi were driving north on State Road A1A about 5:30 p.m. Tuesday when Trevor lost control of his pickup truck on a curve and hit a tree near the entrance of Anastasia State Park.
Witnesses told police the pickup was going faster than the speed limit when it left the road, went through a parking lot and hit a tree in front of Fire Station No. 2. Police are still investigating whether alcohol or other factors contributed to the crash.
IMAGES: Wreck on A1A kills young couple
The couple's friends have come to the site Wednesday placing flowers, trying to come to grips with losing them.
"She was a sunshine. She was just a beautiful little girl and everybody loved her," said Jennifer Leonardi's mother, Robin Osgood. "She was so excited and he was so happy. They were both just so happy."
The two had stopped by Tuesday to have lunch with the wife's mother.
"It was a blessing that she ended up coming and Trevor came and we had a real nice time," Osgood said. "Off they went and that was the last time we saw them."
Police say they were killed instantly when the truck hit the tree.
"He must have been doing about 60, and (the truck) hit this guardrail, and that's what kind of got everyone's attention -- that noise from the guardrail, said Chris Clarkson, who called 911. "Then he punched it probably accelerated up to 80 or plus."
Wrecks in the area are all too familiar to firefighters. There have been several accidents along that curve in the last few years, and two of them have caused fatalities.
"They've come through that area all different ways," said St. Augustine Fire Department Assistant Chief John Rayno. "They've hit the tree here behind us right in front. They've hit the station. Some of them have made it through several trees before they hit one. It's all over the place."
For Robin Osgood, she'll hold onto her faith and her daughter's own words for peace.
"She said ... if anything happens to us she would die, but if anything happened to her, she said, 'Please don't dwell.' She said, 'Mama, I have lived and had fun.' And she has had a fun time" Osgood said.

Ghost Recon: Future Soldier and Driver: SF Delayed Further
Remember when Ghost Recon: Future Soldier was delayed so as to avoid being trampled by the holiday competition? And remember when Driver: San Francisco was delayed for… uh, well for whatever reason it was delayed? Well both of those titles have been delayed again, and now it's anyone's guess as to when they'll actually being coming out, because they've been removed from the fiscal year ending on March 30 and has been pushed back to, uh, some time in the 12 months after March 30. There isn't a target season or anything listed; it's just fiscal year 2011-2012. They also don't say why they're pushing these back, but maybe it's to add some 3D. Maybe.
The GRFS beta is still happening, though, but it's naturally being delayed as well. And that's what we know, children.

To Go From Ski Bum to Media Mogul
When we started Teton Gravity Research, we had no idea what it would become. Forming a media company was just a way to continue our lifestyle. We were already traveling to uncharted regions of the world anyway, so we decided to start documenting it. Corey Gavitt, Steve Jones, Todd Jones, and I took some of the fishing money we'd earned and bought a 16mm film camerathat was nine years ago.
Our first office was in a one-bedroom condo that Todd, Steve, and I shared in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. We were complete ski bums. We'd wait tables at night and ski during the days in the winter. In the summer, we'd commercial-fish in Alaska. We put whatever money we had into the business.
When we were making our first film, The Continuum, we spent probably $70,000 to $80,000 dollars of our own money. But when it turned out really well, the industry realized that we had talent and began to support us through partnerships.
After five or six years, we discovered we couldn't keep up with the cash flow and had to get investors. We all came pretty close to finishing college, but none of us actually finishedwe got lured away by skiing. Even though we didn't initially have a lot of business skills, we picked them up along the way, and continue to do so.
TGR has become a steady business with 18 films and 20 or so television programs to date, and several projects in the works. We went from waiting for the phone to ring to getting letters and e-mails everyday from kids who want to be interns. We're in the position Warren Miller was when we were growing up. It's great to be inspiring kids to do things outside of the norm.
So, it was a lot of scheming, a lot of sleeping on floors, and a lot of groveling to live our dream. We used to ski 200 days a year, now we're lucky if we ski 60. It's a whole different world, but it's been fun the whole way. I look back on all of it and don't regret anything. We're stoked to go to work everydaynot many people have that.
