Terry Texada and his fishing partner were at precisely the right place at exactly the right time Monday on Toledo Bend.
They observed bass and stripers feeding voraciously on bream, and the 52-year-old angler even found a 2-pounder floating with a bull bream stuck in its throat.
"It really was a great day out there with partly cloudy weather and the wind wasn't bad at all," he said. "They were also pulling water through the generator."
The anglers were on the water by 7 in the morning after launching near the dam on the Texas side.
"We were in the Indian Creek area," he said. "We were on a ridge near the river fishing on scattered grass in 20 feet of water."
It didn't take long for his partner, who was fishing an Alabama rig, to put two bass in the boat.
Texada was running a big Lucky Craft 2.5 square bill crankbait on a custom rod that he built. The crankbait was tied to 17-pound Berkley fluorocarbon spooled onto an Abu Garcia Revo Winch reel.
"I made a remark earlier that I was going to catch a big fish with this big bait," he said.
True to his word, Texada hooked the monster on his fifth cast.
"I knew he was big as soon as the fish hit," he said. "My partner had one on at the same time.
"The fish jumped once, and I told my partner it was over 10 (pounds)," Texada said.
According to the angler, the bass kept pulling drag as it dove deeper.
"After a good fight, the fish was lipped into the boat," he said.
The anglers kept fishing until 11:30, catching 16 more fish that morning.
They eventually made their way to Toledo Town and Tackle to weigh Texada's bass at an official weigh station for the Toledo Bend Lunker Bass program.
The chunky bass weighed 11.57 pounds on T-town's official scales, and was tagged and released back into Toledo Bend waters.
Texada easily qualified to receive a free replica of the fish from the Toledo Bend Lake Association, which awards all anglers who catch 10-plus pounders with a free replica if they agree to release the fish back into Toledo Bend waters.
Texada's fish is bass No. 3 for the 2014-15 TBLBP season, which started up earlier this month.
The anglers went on to finish the day fishing at Toledo Bend, and caught 10 more bass, including lots of 3- and 4-pounders with crankbaits and topwaters, and Texada even caught a couple of stripers weighing 8 and 10 pounds.

On the local level, the participants of Thursday's Jennings County Spelling Bee will receive little more than a plaque, a free lunch and — if they beat the competition — bragging rights.
But if that winner does well at the next level, he or she could earn a savings bond worth thousand of dollars.
And if that child comes out on top, he or she will be riding in the Pegasus Parade at the Kentucky Derby Festival.
A total of 16 Jennings County students will compete at 10 a.m. Friday at Brush Creek Elementary School.
The competitors will consist of two winners from each of the six public grade schools, Jennings County Middle School and St. Mary's School. Most are in Grades 4-8.
What might seem unfair to some is that the younger children compete on the same playing field with the older students. But Brush Creek Elementary School Principal Johnny Bright, who's helping to organize the event formerly held in Hayden, doesn't think that's a problem.
"A few years ago, a third-grader won one of the school contests. So it's not unusual to have a youngster come out the winner," Bright said.
However, it won't be like each child is expected to memorize an entire dictionary. Bright said all the words will come from a 36-page booklet put out by organizers of the Kentucky Derby Festival Spelling Bee.
The words are cut, placed in a bag and pulled out randomly for each student.
"I haven't noticed that texting has had an impact on spelling abilities," Bright said. "Our numbers were pretty good. There's still an interest and pride in knowing how to spell."
The winner of the Jennings County Spelling Bee will go on to compete against 67 other students in the Kentucky Derby Festival Spelling Bee, which will be March 9 at the PNC Club at Cardinal Stadium in Louisville.
First held in 1994, the Derby Festival Spelling Bee has grown in popularity every year and now attracts county champions from all over Kentucky and Southern Indiana.
The overall champion will receive a $10,000 U.S. savings bond, as well as participate in the Pegasus parade.
The next four top finishers also will receive savings bonds — $5,000 for second place, $3,000 for third, $1,500 for fourth and $1,000 for fifth.
The prize money will be provided by the Kentucky Derby Festival Foundation, the Derby Festival's charitable arm.

Superheroes have proven unexpectedly hard to translate to video games. Superman 64, a disastrous 1999 release, is counted among the worst games of all time, though the list of lousy superhero games certainly doesn't end there. From The Fantastic Four to Iron Man, even the sturdiest super-types have been roughed up on small screen.
Batman: Arkham City (Warner Bros. Interactive)
Until now, that is.
Leaving the claustrophobic passageways, cells, and grounds of Arkham's asylum to take on the whole town in an open-world romp, Batman: Arkham City releases this week for the Xbox 360 and PS3. And according to critics, it doesn't just match the original, it surpasses it. With a stunning 95 average at Metacritic, the verdict's in: go out and buy it, because this, actually, is the best superhero game ever made.
It's also Mark Hamill's (yes, that Mark Hamill) final performance as The Joker. Hamill, who first took on the role in the Emmy-award winning 'Batman: The Animated Series', has embodied the character longer than any other actor. No offense to Heath, Jack, or Cesar, but most hardcore fans consider Hamill to be the greatest Joker ever, making his swan song something of a big deal.
And he's going out with a serious bang.
"Arkham City not only lives up to the standards set by Arkham Asylum, it bests its predecessor in every way and stands tall as one of Batman's greatest moments," raves Game Informer's Andrew Reiner in a perfect 10/10 review, adding that it's "one of the biggest and most enjoyable time sinks of the year."
Nearly every critic out there agrees with that assessment. Regardless of how well Arkham City sells, it's already a massive success, and stands a pretty good chance at being among the best reviewed games of the year, if not the outright winner.
Take it from IGN's Greg Miller, who rated the game 9.5 -- "amazing" -- out of 10.
"The voice acting, the challenges, the amazing opening, the unbelievable ending and the feeling of being the Dark Knight -- these are the things that stand out looking back," Miller writes. "I've beaten this thing twice and still want to call in sick and chase Riddler Trophies...Batman: Arkham City isn't just better than Batman: Arkham Asylum, it's better than most games on the market."
But it wouldn't be a Batman game without a villain, right? Destructoid's oft-controversial Jim Sterling weighs in with a conspicuous 8.5/10, the lowest Arkham score to date. (Though, we should note, it's still a very positive mark, especially given Destructoid's comparatively stingy scores.) His chief complaint? It tries to do too much.
"It's just confusing to have so many buttons doing so many things, and so many enemies that require so many different ways of dispatching," Sterling writes. "It's certainly great to have options and variety, but there's an information overload that can drown even the most focused of brains." Though as he notes, there are far worse problems to have than that, as he still calls it "one of the most absorbing and engrossing [products] on the market."
Above all, one common thread can be found in linking Arkham City reviews: this game genuinely makes you feel like Batman. Over the 72-year history of the character, how many fans haven't sat back and dreamt of zipping around Gotham as the Dark Knight? You don't have to be the World's Greatest Detective to know that number's lower than Mr. Freeze's preferred thermostat setting -- and you don't have to be Wayne Enterprise's top scientist to deduce that any Batfan is going to be delighted with Arkham City.

Civil Liberties Jeopardized as Arabs, Muslims Find Themselves Caught in Web of Federal Investigations
Assaf, Roxanne, Washington Report on Middle East Affairs
Civil Liberties Jeopardized as Arabs, Muslims Find Themselves Caught in Web of Federal Investigations
Roxane Assaf is a free-lance writer based in Chicago.
When Rebecca Lewis and Mohamed Kadhri got married on Sept. 27, they had no idea that four days later they would be planning to leave the country. But it wasn't the honeymoon they had in mind.
According to the newlyweds, Mohamed dropped Rebecca off at the Detroit airport, where she is an airline customer service agent. Thinking he had left his house keys with her, he left his car at the curb, with the hazard lights blinking, and ran to catch his wife before she made her way through security. But he was too late; she was gone.
Then, to his relief, Mohamed discovered the house keys in his pocket.
Returning to his car, however, his relief began to subside as he found a uniformed police officer examining the vehicle. Attempting to avoid a ticket, Mohamed explained to the officer that he was just about to leave. "He looked at me like I scared him," said Mohamed in his soft Tunisian-accented English. "I said, `I'm sorry. I'm going home now. I'm gonna leave right now.'"
The officer was not finished, however. He asked Mohamed for his license. Checking it, he then asked for proof that Mohamed was using his real name. Mohamed showed an ID. The officer asked if he was a U.S. citizen. Mohamed replied, "No."
"Green card?"
The officer then took the car keys away, Mohamed said, and ordered him to sit in the car. While Mohamed sat for 20 minutes, the police officer used his walkie-talkie to call an Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) agent. When the agent arrived, Mohamed was ordered out of the car. The government official identified himself as an INS agent and referred to the terrorist attacks on New York and Washington. "I have nothing to do with that," said Mohamed.
"Your name is Mohamed?" asked the agent.
"Yes," Mohamed answered.
"Are you sure this is your name?"
"You're a Muslim?"
The agent then asked Mohamed if he could check his pockets. Mohamed complied. The agent checked Mohamed's pockets and asked him to turn around. When he did so, Mohamed found himself being handcuffed so tightly he pleaded with the agent to loosen the cuffs. "`You'll be alright,' he told me," said Mohamed. The agent then told him to sit on the ground.
It is exactly this kind of scenario that American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) is working to prevent. Prior to Oct. 26, when President George Bush signed HR3162, dubbed the "USA PATRIOT Act" (Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing the Appropriate Tools Required To Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism), the ACLU had warned Congress that the new provisions would lead to abuses by the attorney general and federal law enforcement officials granted new permanent powers. The bill passed almost unanimously, however--even though, according to the ACLU, many legislators could not have had the chance even to read the modified bill because of anthrax-related building closures.
Tim Edgar, legal counsel at the ACLU office in Washington, DC, believes the legislation "puts people in fear just when the FBI needs cooperation. It isn't productive, and it's going to instill a lot of mistrust for a long time."
Areas such as Detroit, Edgar added, where great numbers of Arabs live, would undoubtedly be targeted for investigation.
The ACLU's list of concerns includes the rights of non-citizens who are found to be in violation of immigration rules, such as overstaying a visa. Ordinarily, these individuals would not be deportable for terrorism. Under the new laws, however, they could be subjected to detention--possibly indefinite--on the attorney general's finding of "reasonable grounds to believe" they are involved in terrorism or in any activity that poses a danger to national security or the safety of the community or any person.

The secrets of Prince William's "college of love."
As the wedding bells echo from Westminster Abbey and millions tune in to watch the royal nuptials, the media will replay over and again the story of how Prince William and Kate Middleton began their fairy-tale romance at the University of St. Andrews in Scotland, where they met as frisky art-history students in 2001. (William later changed his major to geography.) The 600-year-old college has been elevated in the popular imagination as a magical Old World setting for royal love. It has even received the full-blown Hollywood treatment in a lavish Lifetime movie, which depicts the dewy-eyed undergrads frolicking through its medieval cloisters and leafy, cobbled alleys.
To the hordes of journalists and tourists who have lately made the pilgrimage to the hallowed campus 55 miles north of Edinburgh, St. Andrews appears stately, dignified, and predictably dull, as manicured as the ancient Scottish golf courses that surround it. But hidden away in one of the more modern university buildings, near the police station, is a cache of erotic relics from Britain's longest-running and most perverse sex club, which boasted as a member none other than one of Prince William's royal ancestors.
Few visitors to the Museum of the University of St. Andrews know to inquire about the BBWCC, the "Beggar's Benison and Wig Club Collection," although it is notorious with curators and a small group of scholars. But if you make a formal application (and the serious academic purpose of your research is accepted), staff members will take you to a clinical room, don latex gloves, and slowly unpack several archival boxes of rare historical artifacts.
There are drinking glasses in the shape of giant phalluses. Lewd platters are engraved with surreal pornographic images, including erections shaped as lighthouses and roosters with human penis heads. One prize exhibit is a snuff box filled with female pubic hair that was plucked by one of William's most debauched and lecherous royal relatives, King George IV, the prince's fourth great-granduncle, who ruled from 1820 to 1830. And a timeworn case contains a ghoulish wooden mannequin's head whose peculiar erotic purpose can be traced back to another randy royal forebear, King Charles II. (The bloodline of the Merry Monarch, who ruled from 1660 to 1685,,runs to Prince William through his mother, Lady Diana, via several of Charles II's illegitimate sons.)
What is intriguing to the modern eye is that these ribald artifacts hail from a period in history that most of us assume to be very conservative, with men in powdered wigs and women in tight corsets politely courting over tea and buttered scones.
The bizarre relics belong to a group called the Beggar's Benison, the longest-lasting of the dozens of "enlightened" sex clubs that emerged across Britain in the Georgian era and are referred to generally as Hellfire Clubs. This gentleman's society was founded in 1732 in a damp Scottish fishing village called Anstruther, a few miles from St. Andrews on the East Neuk of Fife. Despite the detailed information we have on its lurid club rituals, they have so far never been featured in a British period drama. (Then again, it's hard to imagine Sir Anthony Hopkins and Emma Thompson accepting the roles.) According to the surviving club minutes and firsthand accounts, the Benison's male members—who were drawn from all sections of educated Scottish society—would gather every month in an Anstruther tavern. Early in the evening, naked village girls, known as posture molls, posed on tables in acrobatic positions to reveal "the Secrets of Nature." Pornographic texts were read. They would then make toasts from the lewd drinking vessels, known as prick glasses, citing "Firm erection, fine insertion, excellent distillation, no contamination." The club president would then open up the wooden box, revealing a motley wig that, according to club tradition, had been woven from the pubic hairs of King Charles II's many mistresses. Members would take turns wearing it, evidently using the talisman to enhance their sexual potency.
Finally, the boozed-up and merry members would gather around a table. There they would masturbate onto the club's fine pewter plate, known as the Test Platter. (As the club minutes put it laconically on one occasion in 1737: "24 met. … All frigged.")
According to David Stevenson, professor emeritus of Scottish history at St. Andrews University and author of the seminal academic study The Beggar's Benison: Sex Clubs of Enlightenment Scotland and Their Rituals, the club was so popular with businessmen that chapters opened wherever Scotsmen traveled, from London to New York and even in the far-flung colonies of India and Australia. Its irreverent rites gleefully mocked all forms of censorship and sexual repression, including the newly popular medical fiction that masturbation posed a serious health risk, and it attracted non-Scottish members up to the highest echelons of British society. King George IV became a member of the London chapter in his dissolute youth, and he always kept a soft spot for it. When he visited Edinburgh on a royal tour in 1822, he presented the Benison's leadership with a snuff box containing pubic hair taken from one of his own mistresses. (Today the object still contains a tight wad of curls, now turned silver but with a faint ginger tinge.)

03-13-04-- Fifteen former female inmates have filed a joint civil lawsuit alleging they were sexually harassed while incarcerated in the Atoka County Jail.
The women are seeking more than $ 1million dollars in damages for violation of constitutional and statutory rights.
They name Atoka County Sheriff Gary McCool and two dispatchers as defendants in the lawsuit.
Some of the women claim the sheriff did not reply to complaints about the dispatchers' sexual advances.
The lawsuit was filed in U-S District Court in Muskogee last week.

Newspaper article The Christian Science Monitor
Curb on Religious Freedom in Russia May Rise Again
Article excerpt
Members of minority faiths in Russia breathed a sigh of relief yesterday, welcoming President Boris Yeltsin's veto of a bill that would have sharply curbed their religious freedoms.
"The forces of light have prevailed over the forces of darkness," said Igor Diksa, a pastor and Evangelical church leader. "This is very important."
On Tuesday evening, President Yeltsin vetoed a bill that had been passed overwhelmingly by both houses of parliament, discriminating against nontraditional religious groups and favoring the Russian Orthodox Church. Yeltsin rejected the bill because "many articles ... infringe citizens' constitutional rights and freedoms, establish inequality of different confessions, and contradict Russia's international obligations," he said in a message to the Duma, the lower house of parliament. The draft law "On Freedom of Conscience and Religious Association" was strongly backed by the Russian Orthodox Church and the Communist Party, both worried about the growing influence of foreign churches and emerging indigenous denominations. But it aroused widespread international indignation. President Clinton expressed his concern, the United States Senate threatened to withhold $200 million in aid to Russia if the bill became law, and Pope John Paul II wrote to Yeltsin last week urging a veto. Advocates of religious freedom in Russia complained that the bill went well beyond its stated intention of protecting citizens from cults and extremist groups such as the Japanese-based Aum Shinri Kyo, which had many followers here until it was accused of a nerve-gas attack on a Tokyo subway in March 1995. The law would have barred all denominations except those registered at least 15 years ago - when the antireligious Communist state controlled religious affairs - from qualifying as "religious organizations," including Roman Catholics, Mormons, and independent Baptists. They would thus have been denied the right to own property, invite foreign speakers, or open bank accounts, among other things. "We would have been sent back to the catacombs," said Pastor Diksa, secretary of the inter-denominational Committee for the Defense of Religious Freedom in Russia. …

We'll call him V, my mom's boyfriend's friend. He never called that night but I saw him several times after that. One Saturday my mom's boyfriend and friends were hanging out in the living room. I walked out and saw V there. He looked at me and then moved his eyesight straight down to my thighs. I smiled and returned to my bedroom. I overheard my mom's boyfriend's other friend, we'll call him J, ask V for a ride. He joked about how hot our house was and how he'd rather be bored at home with his A/C. As I heard them get up to leave, I came out of the bedroom and asked casually where everyone was going. V said he was dropping J off. I asked if he could drop me off at a friend's house down the street from J's house. He said sure. The three of us walked out and as we approached J's house, I asked if I could use his restroom, I had to pee. Without a clue, he said ok. When we got to J's house, he helped me out of V's truck and asked V if he wanted to come on in. V agreed and came in the house. The minute he opened the door, we felt the freezing air. V and I joked about his igloo and how we wished our houses were this cool. All we had were ceiling fans! I went straight to the restroom. As I came out back into the living room, J was in the kitchen and V looked at me and smiled. He asked if I was cold and I laughed. I knew my nipples were hard as rocks. It was freezing in there. I laughed and jokingly asked if he wanted to warm them up. Just then J walked into the dining area and looked over right as I said, "You didn't get enough of my tits that day?" J looked confused and I smiled at him. I told J that it was okay and that V had taken a little time to play with me one day on the way home. J looked confused. I pulled my shirt straps down and pulled my tits out. I asked him if he liked. He nervously said yes. I grabbed my tits and put them against him. I pushed him toward the dining table and sat him down on the chair. I sat on top of him and asked him to taste them. He sucked on my tits and grabbed them like a hungry animal. My pussy was throbbing and soaked. I looked back and noticed V had a hard on. I moaned in pleasure and then grabbed J's hand and put it on my ass. Next thing you know he was finger banging my pussy and sucking my tits. I turned to V and asked if he still wanted to fuck. He shook his head in disbelief. I got up and moved over to the couch in the living room. I asked V to sit next to me and just as he sat, I climbed over him, leaned over the armchair and asked J to bring his cock to my face. I sucked J's cock as V began eating my pussy and ass. I had never felt my pussy so wet. I wanted to feel V's cock inside me, I wanted J's cock inside me too. Eventually, V entered my tight little pussy with his big cock and began pounding it like he was on a mission to punish me. He asked J if he wanted to try and J went on to fuck me next as V grabbed my tits and sucked and licked them rough as he could. Just like this they took turns flipping me this way and that, sucking my tits and fucking me one at a time taking turns. It felt incredibly wrong and yet so good. While one was fucking me, the other was sucking on my big tits or holding them in place since they have a tendency to bounce all about during rough sex. Or one would be fucking the hell out of me and the other finger banging my asshole which was fully lubricated by pussy juice by this point. By the end of the "session" I had V's cum down my throat and J's cum all over my tits. It was amazing. We had to hurry and get the hell out of there. After all, J's wife was due back soon. Yes, slutty, I know. But I had a good time and like I said in part one. That first experience was like opening up Pandora's box. As we left the house, I grabbed J's crotch and whispered to him that B, his wife, had amazing tits herself. I winked and that was that.

Personal question, but please help!!!
To make this short, I suffered a LOT of emotional and mental abuse by my father growing up. I do not want to subject my child to this because I don't want him/her to turn out like I did... On one hand I feel my child should know his/her grandfather. On the other hand... I can't stand knowing the kind of person he is and I just can't stand the thought of my baby going through the same agony I did. Any words of encouragement, wisdom or advice? Thanks... BTW, at least I live 3,500 miles away so I don't see him often...

i say keep the child away from him he seems to be a danger not a grandfather i wouldnt let hime near my child i would tell him bout the baby but keep my distance cause if he cant protect you he wont protect the babyposted 11/15/2012 by a BabyCenter Member
If I were in your situation I'd talk with your father before visiting and explain that you want his time with your little one to be positive and full of love. If you can't come right out and tell him that you won't tolerate him treating your child the way he treated you, find a way to suggest it politely and just be aware of your own feelings. If you feel he's acting in a way you don't want your baby exposed to just remember you're the mom and you can make the decision to limit visits. It sounds like you've turned out to be a mature woman who understands her feelings about the situation and I have faith you won't let your father have the same affect on your child. Good luck to you!posted 11/13/2012 by a BabyCenter Member

Thank you so much. I have tried to talk to him... He just doesn't seem to care. He sees himself as "God's chosen one"; i.e. he can do no wrong. His brother raped me for years, and when I told him about it he refused to believe it, saying I had done something to deserve it. I love him, because he is my father. I just don't want my baby to grow up fearing the way I did. But I also don't want him/her to know the pain. Thank you so much for your kind words. God bless you.posted 11/13/2012 by a BabyCenter Member

Diamond Foods suspends dividends
Thursday, March 22, 2012
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Diamond Foods Inc. is suspending its dividend payments to stockholders under a new credit agreement.
The snack maker announced in February that it was replacing its CEO and chief financial officer after an internal investigation found the company improperly accounted for payments to walnut growers. Diamond has to restate two years of financial results as well.
On Wednesday, Diamond said it has amended its agreement with lenders to give the company access to funds through June 18. Meanwhile, Diamond will make scheduled loan payments and explore ways to strengthen its balance sheet and it must suspend dividend payments under the new agreement.
Diamond last paid a dividend, of 5 cents per share, in August.
The San Francisco-based company makes foods such as Emerald nuts and Pop Secret popcorn.

text: She recorded two albums, The Way of the Weeping Willow and Mountain of Rose Quartz, at the legendary Ardent Studios in Memphis, but she really came into the national eye when she was featured, along with rappers Al Kapone, Muck Sticky, and other musicians, in the MTV web series $5 Cover (put together by Craig Brewer, the creator of the movie Hustle & Flow), which followed Memphis musicians as they scrambled to pay the rent, fall in and out of love, and yes, play music in one of the most storied musical cities in the world. The series aired early in 2009, giving June and her music a platform for wider exposure. Using the publicity from the $5 Cover series, June went on to record the 2010 EP Valerie June & the Tennessee Express with the Old Crow Medicine Show. In 2011, June raised $15,000 via the crowd-sourcing website Kickstarter to help fund the recording of her next album. A move to Brooklyn from Memphis and an introduction to Dan Auerbach (the Black Keys) put into motion the recording of her third studio album, Pushin' Against the Stone. With her singles on heavy rotation on European radio and a support slot with British singer/songwriter Jake Bugg, June's popularity continued to soar with Pushin' Against the Stone, finally released in May 2013 in Europe and in the U.S. in August. ~ Steve Leggett, Rovi

Closing Arguments, Conspiracy Theories, Hot Dogs & Heart Burn
1:00 PM — Fallon and I are sitting on a bench in downtown Buffalo. It's an incestuous ghost town. There's not many people on the streets, but they all seem to know each other. Most of them are wearing some bureaucratic lanyard or another. They're all stakeholders in this repugnant perversion of justice. I eat a hot dog.
We speak briefly with Joel Daniels. He's a hotshot lawyer who's helping Dr. James Corasanti get away with murder. The Doc got drunk and ran over a teenage girl on a skateboard. It's the talk of the town. Daniels's suit is very expensive.
We speak to another lawyer. She gives us the skinny on Donna Donovan. She married into a Buffalo Police legacy. Her father-in-law was Police Commissioner two Mayors ago. And Eagan's connected like the Mob.
The jury's been out for about an hour. The heartburn's climbed so high it's eating away at my enamel. Fallon's phone rings.
10:00 AM — This is it. We're first. I think I'm going to puke. Fallon thanks the jury for their service, and gets right into the first half of our closing argument, which I wrote:
"Gentlemen of the jury,
Now, I know that the prosecution has made what I'm about to ask you to do very difficult, but I want you to pretend – for a moment, disregarding your own common sense – that the people's case against my client is 100% accurate.
Do this, and you should still find Mr. Murphy completely innocent.
Disregard, briefly, all the evidence or lack thereof, and all the prosecution's contradictory witness testimony. Forget that Pastor Gillison testified that he never once saw my client that day. Forget the Pastor explicitly stated that the nature of the event on the steps of City Hall that day was listed on the permit as a, quote, "Rally." And pretend that my client doesn't appear in any of the submitted photos or videos protesting anything at all. I know it's hard, because the exact opposite is true, but use your imagination.
Do this, and you should still find Mr. Murphy completely innocent.
When did it become illegal to protest public events in the United States of America? When did, "Exercising one's First Amendments rights," as Pastor Gillison referred to the activities of the counter-demonstrators, become a crime in our country? If a purported "religious event" in public, on the steps of City Hall, is immune to protest, what's next? Should it be illegal to protest Wall Street greed? War? The government? Should we just criminalize protest itself – in any form?
As Americans, we all know the answer to this question: No. Not now. Not ever.
While we're at it, despite a total lack of physical evidence, pretend for a moment that Mr. Murphy was meandering through the crowd, phallus in hand, and conducting multiple interviews. Imagine, for a moment, that all of these people were offended and upset – and you're going to have to use your imagination extra hard here because the prosecution has not been able to find or present a single one of these people.
Now, should we criminalize everything that upsets people? Should juries be in the business of deciding what's humorous, and what is merely offensive? My client, and millions of other Americans, are more offended by a book – the bible – that states that homosexuals should be stoned to death than they are offended by seeing a sex toy. So I ask you: the next time a Jehovah's Witness, knocks on my client's door – his private property, mind you – and sticks a bible into his hands, is that person breaking the law?
No. Of course not. Not even a little. That's not what our country is supposed to be about.
Now this is going to be your most difficult excursion into fantasy land, but I ask for your sincere cooperation. Imagine, if you will, that absolutely everything that arresting officer Donna Donovan says about my client is completely accurate.
I told you this one would be hard. But try, please.
Forget the video that clearly depicts her attacking Mr. Murphy's associate Josh Bunting. Forget that she ridiculously claims to have thought the video camera might have been a gun – even though she's on tape saying, "I don't want my picture taken!" Believe her when she says she didn't strike the camera, even though your very own eyes tell you otherwise. Believe every word she says. And she says that she arrested my client for calling her, and her fellow officers, "assholes." My client, and all of our witnesses vehemently deny anything of the sort occurred that day, of course, but, please, humor me. Because there is one thing Officer Donovan testified to that is unequivocally true: You can believe her when she says that calling a police officer an "asshole" is not illegal.
So having accepted, against your own better judgment — based on all that you've witnessed and failed to witness during this trial — that the People's case against Mr. Murphy is 100% true, you should still find my client 100% innocent of all the charges against him.
But, now, back in the real world: you and I both know that the prosecution's case is an incredible insult to your intelligence, to my client, the First Amendment, and to the very concept of justice…"
Unfortunately, that ellipses represents a full hour and a half of redundant arguments. I frankly regret not writing the whole thing. While he delivered the first bit with passion, the second half was regrettably…Fallon-esque. Dude pays me to tell the unvarnished truth, so I hope he doesn't get too mad at me, but it shouldn't be news to him that sometimes he sounds like an American André the Giant with a mouthful of marbles. How does he do his lawyer thing? You may wonder, as I have more than a few times. "I'm the Michael Clayton of Redacted, Redacted & Confidential LLC.," he said. I had no followup.
It may be more a comment on society, but even though he raised some important points, it went on way too long. The jurors were nodding off. Even I stopped paying attention.
Swanson begins his closing by saying he was "confused" by Fallon's summation. It doesn't ring entirely untrue.
Fuck. I'm going to jail.
"Mr. Fallon did not talk about Mr. Murphy as a journalist." He did. "Their intent is to divert your attention away from Mr. Murphy's conduct that day," Swanson continues, "and turn this into something political." Then the ADA talks a bit about how prayer + song = "religious service."
"Let's talk briefly about Mr. Beck," he says. "How in the world would Mr. Cercone know that Mr. Murphy knew Mr. Beck?" He assures the jury, "There is no conspiracy."
Well, as detailed in my last report, Rebecca Watson had written about my arrest before I'd even left the slam:
Of course, judging by this pic snapped by Ed Beck minutes before Ian's arrest, the charge may very well be "disrupting a religious ceremony by filming the police with a dildo as a microphone." So who knows?
As you can see, Beck deleted that tweet, but in it he referenced yours truly. Between that and familiar tone of Watson's piece, it wouldn't be a stretch to conclude that we knew each other. And if you search for "Ian Murphy" + "Ed Beck" you find a BEAST article from last year which credits Ed for some photos. Once you know where Beck works (using this new thing called "the Internet"), a quick BEAST search for "Center For Inquiry" or "CFI" results in scads of hits which, when read, clearly show I have some ties to the place.
"There is no conspiracy here," Swanson keeps saying. It's pretty obvious that the DA's office did conspire with Mr. Cercone, but Americans have been so conditioned by retards like Jesse Ventura and Alex Jones to think that anything labeled a "conspiracy" is so impossibly idiotic that it should be immediately discounted. My peers — my actual peers know damn-well that playing the "conspiracy theory" card to try to refute a cogent argument is strictly for assholes without facts. It's unadulterated sophistry. My actual peers would lol pretty hard at Swanson's mediocrity. These shits in the jury, however, ain't even smiling.
Fuck. I'm going to jail.
Swanson repeats the "disgusted" bit of Buntings testimony, that we were trying to "PROVOKE a humorous response," and gives the impression the jury should believe Josh's words. Then he does a 180 and says both Bunting and Beck have "a dog in this fight." You know, because Donovan is totally impartial. No dogs. Just her job.
He talks about police investigations, and how it sometime takes months to charge people with their "crimes"– you know, in case the jury was wondering why the hell the charges against me are dated October 6, 2011. And then he does it. The thing. The thing that fills me with violent thoughts. The thing that makes me want to hunt down Assistant District Attorney Patrick Swanson, and choke the life out of him with my bare hands while I stare into his eyes and smile. I won't do that, of course. But I've never wanted to hurt someone more. This is it, the thing: knowing that Judge Eagan hasn't let us bring up the erased video camera, Swanson tells the jury, we were recording video for 45 minutes before I got arrested, so why haven't they seen the footage?
Fallon objects. Eagan overrules, and shoots him an icy glance.
Fuck. I'm going to jail.
Swanson mentions that it's not a "conspiracy" a few more times, tells some folksy anecdote, and wraps it all up in 35 total minutes. The man's a professional liar, who deserves to have the life choked out of him, but he understands the modern attention span.
Fuck. I'm going to jail. It's up to my "peers" now. Fuck. I'm going to jail.
The Dishonorable Judge Susan M. Eagan reads an incredibly long set of jury instructions, which detail all facets of the charges against me, and what points need to be satisfied to find me guilty. For some reason, they're not given a copy of this document. They're expected to remember he whole thing.
Fuck. I'm going to fucking jail.
1: 30 PM — We're back outside. False alarm. The jury only wanted to hear the instructions again. Double-Dawg says it's a good sign. They haven't looked at any of the submitted evidence. Phone call.
2:30 PM — The jury wants to know the definition of "obscene gesture." The judge won't tell them. It's totally subjective. I sack out in the hallway for a while. "Is he OK?" the janitor asks Fallon. "Yeah, considering," he says. I stand up just to keep the acid down. I need a coffee. Fallon and I go downstairs, outside, and I smoke.
3:45 PM — Double-Dawg pops his head around the corner and says, "They're in."
My heart starts racing. Fuck, I think. I'm going to jail.

Here at Film School Rejects, we believe that it is important to steer clear of political waxation because much like paying taxes, we don't believe in it. Then again, sometimes we just can't avoid a little commentary that veers into the world of politics — especially not in an election year and especially not when studios are releasing movie posters like the one above. The poster on the right is one done for the Obama campaign by acclaimed illustrator Shepard Fairey. The one on the left is for the film Henry Poole is Here, which is set for release on August 15th. Thankfully, that is where the political tie-ins end.
Henry Poole is Here is a well-received Sundance film that stars Luke Wilson as a man who gives up on life, that is until a little bit of God shows up on the outer wall of his house. It's a pretty cool flick with almost no political message whatsoever. To illustrate my point, have a look at the trailer below.
Luke Wilson (The Royal Tenenbaums, Old School), Academy Award nominee Adriana Barraza (Babel) and Radha Mitchell (Finding Neverland) star in a modern day fable about the unexpected wonders of the everyday from director Mark Pellington (U2 3D, The Mothman Prophesies). Henry Poole is Here tells the funny, poignant and uplifting story of a disillusioned man who attempts to hide from life in a rundown suburban tract home only to discover he cannot escape the forces of hope.
The trailer can be seen in high definition over at Apple.com.
What do you think of Henry Poole is Here? Does it make you want to believe… that it is worth seeing?

Ned Yost media session: May 12
Happy Mother's Day!
Ned Yost met with the media in his office before today's game with the Yankees. He was asked if sometimes players are guilty of overthinking the game. "You can't help it. It's human nature. Everyone wants to be successful, especially when they know we have a good team. Everybody at times puts a little extra pressure on themselves and overthinks things. Pitchers do it. Fielders do it. Everyone does it. It can be a learning experience though. It is all part of playing the game of baseball," said the skipper.
Another topic of discussion was Jarrod Dyson batting leadoff today. Yost was asked what Dyson needs to do to be successful in the leadoff spot. "To be successful and maintain that spot his approach is going to have to be taking pitches and taking walks. Getting him to understand people don't come to watch him hit fly balls and home runs because they are too far and few in between. People pay to watch him get on base and create havoc on the bases. He is working really, really hard at it and you can see the growth in him from last year," said the manager.

- A very good product to use when supplimenting Newborn Puppies! Review by Buckshot
Value Quality Price
I have used this product when supplimenting English Bulldog Puppies. I normally like to use the Esbilac Milk Replacer, in the canned liquid form. But when you suppliment puppies for 4-5 weeks straight, using the Esbilac product will cost you well over $500! And I am NOT joking! I have had great success with this product as a milk replacer/suppliment for my dogs. And even though everyone raves over using Goats Milk! I actually perfer this over Goats Milk! I only used it the one time, but I had great success with it and intend to use it again if need be.

Topic: Lionheart Tactics: General / How do you spend your money?
for most of the campaign, the only good value appears to me to be bronze packs. first day I started, was the last day of the double-booster though, but even after, it still seems that the only times I do anything but buy bronze packs is when I have run out of stones to promote guys that have been leveled for a long time. Then it feels like pulling teeth, since even novice stone packs are nearly 10 times the price of basic stone packs.
so, in the end, I guess I do spend most of my gold on bronze packs. bought a few silver just for variety, but without spending real money, this seems a luxury.
that said, halfway through the campaign… never got a rare character out of either bronze or silver packs. if there is a chance for a rare in a bronze pack, it must be very very tiny, since I have likely bought at least 70 of them by this time.

The FSW15AR.10 is a 250 to 450 nm antireflection coated, 25.0 mm in diameter and 3.0 mm thick UV Fused Silica window with λ/10 transmitted wavefront distortion. UV fused silica is the best choice to use in the ultraviolet region down to 195 nm due to its extraordinary high optical transmissivity for ultraviolet light. Fused silica is ideally used in high-energy laser applications with its high laser damage resistance. Its low thermal expansion coefficient allows the window to withstand very high operating termperatures, making this window an excellent choice for more demanding applications.

The Corporation's principal business serves customers in aggregates-related construction markets. This concentration could increase the risk of potential losses on customer receivables; however, payment bonds normally posted on public projects, together with lien rights on private projects, help to mitigate the risk of uncollectible receivables. The level of aggregates demand in the Corporation's end-use markets, production levels and the management of production costs will affect the operating leverage of the Aggregates business and, therefore, profitability. Production costs in the Aggregates business are also sensitive to energy prices, both directly and indirectly. Diesel fuel and other consumables change production costs directly through consumption or indirectly by increased energy-related input costs, such as steel, explosives, tires and conveyor belts. Fluctuating diesel fuel pricing also affects transportation costs, primarily through fuel surcharges in the Corporation's long-haul distribution network. The Specialty Products business is sensitive to changes in domestic steel capacity utilization and the absolute price and fluctuations in the cost of natural gas.Transportation in the Corporation's long-haul network, particularly rail cars and locomotive power to move trains, affects our ability to efficiently transport material into certain markets, most notably Texas, Florida and the Gulf Coast. The availability of trucks and drivers to transport our product, particularly in markets experiencing increased demand due to energy-sector activity, is also a risk. The Aggregates business is also subject to weather-related risks that can significantly affect production schedules and profitability. The first and fourth quarters are most adversely affected by winter weather. Hurricane activity in the Atlantic Ocean and Gulf Coast generally is most active during the third and fourth quarters.

Park Tool BBT-22 Shimano Bottom Bracket Cartridge Tool
Park BBT-22 Shimano Bottom Bracket Cartridge Tool is a shop quality tool for installing and removing Shimano and ISIS Drive splined 20-tooth bottom bracket cups. Made from investment cast steel, the BBT-22 utilizes a flat tooth profile to ensure maximum engagement with the bottom bracket cup. Can be used with a 3/8" drive torque wrench, 3/8" ratchet driver, 32mm wrench, FRW-1 Freewheel Remover Wrench, or 1" wrench.
I hate internal cartridge bottom brackets. I especially hate the shallow splined interface someone opted for on one of the most abused, cold-welded, and torqued-upon parts of the bike. That being said, this tool is a versatile way to handle a less-than-ideal situation. The ability to switch between a variety of wrenches practically guarantees that you'll have something handy that'll turn this tool when the time comes. It is also very durable. I have seen lesser sockets strip at the splines and get mushy edges on the hexes. This won't.
Its a pretty straight-forward tool, but when you need it there really is no substitute. Park Tools make the best bike tools out there.
I've had mine for 15 years or so. It's been used extensively and the finish barely shows any use at all. Sits in the box and doesn't take up too much room. Nice too, great price.
Great little tool, has removed many a bottom bracket. Held up to impact use on one stuck BB - lost some paint on the splines but doesn't seem to affect use. Good lifelong tool.

4 Pillows for Foodies
You know you've got it bad for food when you start decorating other rooms of your house with it. But these pillows are so cool, and there isn't much opportunity to use them in the kitchen! So, go ahead, bring the food on into the living room or bedroom!
Tie Dyed Cotton Dinner Napkin from Handy Gal Studios
Daily Find
Tie Dyed Cotton Dinner Napkin from Handy Gal Studios
• $9
• Handy Gal Studios
Tie dyed napkins? Brilliant! I'm really loving the colors of these, not to mention the practicality. One more little stain isn't going to be noticed in this riot of colors. OK, so they're probably not for Thanksgiving dinner, but they're perfect for the lunchbox.
20", cotton.

Cotton Denim Apron from Small Batch Production
• $65
• Small Batch Productions
Many aprons are too large and long for me. I get tangled in the ties, find the bottom hem snagging on the cupboards. So I love this apron, ample enough to protect, but not too long or cumbersome. Its cotton and hemp denim fabric is durable and washable.
Measures approx. 30" w x 25"h. Machine wash cold, tumble or line dry.
Fog Linen Kitchen Cloth 1.0
Daily Find
• $16
• Pod
Linen is one of the nicest materials there is: It's strong and long-lasting, and it gets softer and softer with use. These handsome, well-made towels from Fog Linen are both beautiful and practical, another highlight of linen, and they come in several classic patterns.
25.5" long x 17.5" wide

Most kitchen linens are small, lightweight, and widely varied. Which makes them an often inexpensive and easy item to bring back home from travels. Here are some unique pieces that are decidedly of their place:
Constellation Napkins from West Elm

Constellation Napkins from West Elm
• $20 for four
• West Elm
West Elm has piles of good-looking napkins this season in all sorts of practical dark colors and patterns. This dotted cross and diamond pattern is among my favorites. The indigo color mixes well with other dark blue napkins in their summer collection, and it also has the advantage of hiding all but the worst stains.
20-inches square. Machine wash.

Normally, we tend toward simple tablecloths, ones that will serve as a solid backdrop for our fabulous food and table settings without drawing too much attention of their own. But when it comes to summer, picnics, and eating outside, we say bring on the color!
Nights Napkin from Knife in the Water
Daily Find
Nights Napkin from Knife in the Water
• $10
• Knife in the Water
Knife in the Water, a Seoul-based Etsy shop, uses this strong, vibrant print across pillows, tea towels, and napkins, in two striking colorways. I especially love the dark grey napkin, printed with gold and lilac inks. (Also, it's easier to keep darker-colored napkins looking clean!)
This pattern also comes in a Pale Khaki colorway, with terracotta and navy inks.
Bread Bag by Stelton
Daily Find
• $29.95
• Emmo Home
I found a Stelton bread bag in front of my plate at one of my favorite restaurants. It was filled with excellent housemade bâtard, but I was distracted by the soft, crumpled cotton bag, and I turned it over surreptitiously to find the brand. The bag was light and easy to pass around, but structured enough to cradle the bread and to keep crumbs inside. It folds up flat for storage, and it's easy to clean. A really lovely option for serving bread at table.
100% cotton. Colours: Tomato, Saffron, Chocolate, Dark Brown, Pistachio, Black/Black, Sand/White. Dimensions: dia 9.06" h 9.06".
Table Tip: Fold Your Napkins Right Out of the Dryer!
When it comes to competence in household matters, laundry ranks very near the bottom of my personal list. Clean laundry rarely makes it into my bedroom dresser; my longsuffering husband and I pick it out of overflowing baskets in the guest room. But there is one sort of thing that always (always) gets folded immediately upon its removal from the dryer: Cloth napkins. And there is a very good reason for this — also stemming from my loathing of laundry.

Snow Buddies - was it Worth it????
Many of us look forward to movies such as "Snow Buddies" to show our love of Golden Retrievers but........After reading this, I really don't even want to see the movie (or buy the DVD). Although this was written (1) year ago, the movie is in full force now!
PETA Makes Charge That Golden Retriever Puppies Dying On Set Of Disney Sequel
PETA is accusing Disney of ignoring an animal crisis on a movie right now that has allegedly resulted in the deaths of at least four golden retriever puppies and the serious illness of dozens more. People For The Ethical Treatment of Animals tells me the problems are on the Vancouver set of the film Snow Buddies, a sequel to Disney's Air Bud. The group urgently faxed Disney CEO Bob Iger about the situation yesterday afternoon and asked him to cancel the studio's planned distribution of the Keystone Productions film. "Underage puppies from an unlicensed puppy mill in New York were illegally transported to Vancouver in apparent violation of the federal Animal Welfare Act," PETA's letter said. "Puppies who were being used for Snow Buddies fell ill with parvovirus, which is extremely contagious, and had to be taken to a veterinary hospital... Additional puppies were brought in to replace them. These puppies have reportedly fallen ill, too." So far, Disney has ignored this letter and another PETA sent to Iger back on March 19 first alerting him to the situation. The previous letter said: "After receiving several complaints, PETA has determined that the Keystone production Snow Buddies has been using 25 underage golden retriever puppies. The puppies were shipped to Canada from an unlicensed New York breeder in apparent violation of the U.S. Animal Welfare Act. The breeder has admitted that the puppies were between the ages of 6 and 7 weeks when they were shipped. According to media reports, 15 puppies fell ill with giardia and coccidia and two were euthanized. A Washington state veterinary clinic tells PETA that another puppy, from a different breeder, tested positive for parvo and was euthanized." Bob Chorush, PETA's special projects coordinator on entertainment issues, sent that letter and Friday's, which said: "We have since learned that almost all the puppies, perhaps as many as 40 or 50, are now sick, many with the deadly parvovirus. At least four have died already, and others likely will die in the next few days. In light of this disturbing information, we ask that Disney immediately drop distribution plans for this movie." PETA says that it has received no response from Disney to either letter. As for Keystone Productions, Chorush tells me, "the production company initially misinformed us, and since has stopped talking to us." PETA also is calling on the government of British Columbia to immediately halt the pic's production and to "launch a criminal probe into the transportation, care, and treatment of these puppies by Snow Buddies Productions". The pic is scheduled for the 2007 holiday season. I've written before about TV and movie animal issues.

http://www.goldenretrieverforum.com/...iver_thumb.jpg God, please take good care of my best friend, Oliver, who crossed The Bridge on Nov 3/08 at a young age of 3. Please help him find his golden sister, Becky, (April/06 - age 14) and help him find lots of tennis balls, stuffed toys, socks & shoes to carry around. He loves to go for walks through the bush carrying logs and swimming, please. We'll miss you, Sweet Ollie - forever in our memories.
oh i'm sure Judie will be interested to read this as her dog was Air Bud.... she has said nothing of the sort went on, on set, but i'll let her speak when she reads this for herself.
♥ Marlene, Sammy & Dillon ♥
Why couldn't they use pups that were a little older? 6 weeks seems awfully young to me. Its really a sad thing and Disney should be held accountable.
Myspace Glitter Graphics
I really hope that this story isn't true. I felt a little sick after reading it.

I know that a breeder (a friend of mine) in BC was contacted during the filming of Snow Buddies because they needed more puppies...when she found out why she said no way. The part about parvo is TRUE and I know that several puppies were lost, but I can't say for sure about the young puppies being brought in from New York.
I don't know if the extent was as bad as PETA claims, but yes, it did happen. Here is a link to the first CBC story:
And here is an old thread about it
http://www.goldenretrieverforum.com/...ad.php?t=13813 (SNOW BUDDIES Movie: Golden Puppies die)
The one absolutely unselfish friend that man can have in this selfish world, the one that never deserts him, the one that never proves ungrateful or treacherous, is his dog...When riches take wings and reputation falls to pieces, he is as constant in his love as the sun in its journey through the heavens.- Senator George Vest, 1870
That's really sad. My daughter loved the movie. But I would take PETA's claims with a large box, not grain, of salt. That group never let the truth get in the way of an opportunity for publicity and fundraising. I know that from personal experience that caused me to severe my friendship with someone who used to work for me.
If I remember correctly a lot of the problem was with the breeder supplying the puppies. Something to do with forged veterinary papers, etc.
Disney had no idea that these puppies were as young as they were and the problems all happened during the transport.
If you watch the movie extras, they show the care that was put into these puppies. They had multiple handlers for each puppy to make sure they were safe, healthy and happy.
I am not trying to say this was not a tragedy, but Disney should not take all the blame.
Marie, Brady, MacKenzie and Sailor
