Magic And Showmanship - Nelms
Item Number: BK8360
In this book, Henning Nelms analyzes every phase of conjuring, from sleights, devices, and illusions to misdirection, controlling the audience's attention, incorporating 'patter', and the effective use of assistants.

Many years ago there was a Government sponsored program that provided "commodity" food products to needy people. The Great Society President, Lyndon Johnson, turned this in to the Food Stamp Program. Do I have my basic facts correct?
Today it seems we provide entitlements to just about anyone too lazy to work. Oh sure, needy people are still being helped. The elderly who need help, the sick and infirm who need help, mothers with young children who need help all benefit from the entitlement programs paid for with taxpayer dollars. I guess my question is when did we start paying for cell phones, tattoos, piercings, cars, jewelry, boy friends, multiple new babies and a host of other unnecessary things?
If I stood outside my front door and offered free money to all comers I believe the line down the street would be never ending.
I do know there are politicians who use the entitlement programs to purchase future votes for themselves. They don't do this directly but they do it as a promise for the future to support increased benefits if elected and reelected.
Let's vote these bums out of office and get the bums off entitlement programs so we can continue to help the truly needy.

The straight-on downhill stance is, of course, low and aerodynamic: hands on the drops of the handlebar, elbows bent and tucked in, and, if you aren't pedaling, pedals level, knees slightly bent and tucked in, and butt slightly out of the saddle for balance and mobility. You'll need to experiment to find the right front-to-back position for your body. The trick is to notice how subtle shifts in body position affect stability as you descend. When both wheels feel glued to the ground, you've hit the jackpot: this is your basic descending position.

IBM Spectrum Control™ Storage Insights SaaS offering model lends itself to more frequent, meaningful improvements for your consumer-oriented storage managing experience.
You spoke and Storage Insights listened!
The first look Storage Insights Dashboard now offers a more informative and insightful perspective on your storage. The new Dashboard shows six portals of information to guide you in the creation and management of your storage environment. The new Resources portal was added to show an "at a glance" view of all the resources you are managing and enables you to easily add a new component. Also, performance information has been positioned to be upfront on the Dashboard in the form of the Performance portal; this view provides metrics for the storage systems you are monitoring.
Tier analyzing was updated to allow the exclusion or inclusion of volumes in your overall tier analysis.
The IBM Spectrum Accelerate™ storage system was added to the monitoring insights.
Snapshot of monitored resources on the Dashboard
The new Resources portal on the Dashboard shows:
- The number of file and block storage systems that you added for monitoring
- The number of servers that you added for monitoring
- The number of applications that you created to troubleshoot critical applications
- The number of departments that you created to monitor the capacity of the application's storage resources that departments
If you want to see a list of the storage resources or the resources that consume storage, click the number below the resource. If you haven't added a resource, such as an application, hover the mouse pointer over the number 0, and then click the plus sign.
Excluding and including volumes in the tiering analysis
You might not want to get tiering recommendations for some of the volumes in your data center.
For example, you might want to ignore volumes in your overall tier analysis, if you have volumes assigned to tier 2 that are used for weekly backups. You notice that most of the time, these volumes do not meet the criteria that your business organization setup on the Tier Planning page (Insights > Tier Planning), and consequently they show up to be down tiered. You now have the ability to ignore those volumes and not be presented with a recommendation to down tier them by clicking Exclude from Analysis.
If your environment changes, you can easily go back to the Tier Planning page and click Excluded tab that contains the ignored volumes, and revert it back to be included in any subsequent tier analysis by clicking Include in Analysis as shown in the figure below.
Adding storage systems to monitor: IBM Spectrum Accelerate
You can now gain information into the capacity, space usage, and performance of IBM Spectrum Accelerate storage systems.
When you add IBM Spectrum Accelerate™, you can monitor the usage of storage space and the performance of the storage system on the Storage Systems page.
IBM Spectrum Accelerate, a member of the IBM Spectrum Storage™ family, is a software defined storage solution that is based on the XIV® system. To learn more about the IBM Spectrum Storage family, see http://www.ibm.com/spectrumstorage.
As always, Storage Insights lets you explore the product through a live demo that contains the actual product with sample data; it's the quickest way to try out the insightful solutions. You will need an IBM ID to log in. If you do not have an IBM ID, Storage Insights provides a link for you to create one. Follow the guided tutorials for not only tier planning optimization but also troubleshooting performance, monitoring block capacity, monitoring file capacity and identifying reclaimable storage.
Another way to get fast insights into your storage environment is the free 30-day trial. Try the Storage Insights solution by using again your IBM ID, or by creating one. After the 30-day trial, you can easily convert to a subscription.
So click IBM Spectrum Control Storage Insights now to begin your insightful journey to intelligent insights into your storage environment.

Video: Macy's Great Tree falls while being removed
Video: 11pm: Crews Gently Put Great Tree to Rest After Dropping It
ATLANTA -- It took a lot longer than planned to take down Macy's Great Tree at Lenox Square Mall.
The boom broke on the crane lowering the tree Wednesday morning, landing the 60-foot Georgia White Pine on its side. No one was injured.
VIDEO | The story behind this year's Macy's Great Tree
PHOTOS | Macy's Great Tree won't go down easy
Drivers on Lenox Road could see the tree partially hanging over the edge of the store's roof for hours. The impact of the tree smashing onto the roof punched a hole in the roof above the Men's Store. At least one window was broken.
The store stayed closed duringclean up.
Crews cut the tree apart in sections and lowered the pieces to the ground during a dismantling process that lasted until nearly 7:30 p.m.
The Lenox Macy's was expected to reopen Thursday, but the Men's Store portion of Macy's will remain closed during repairs.
During the 2011 holiday season, the first Macy's Great Tree snapped while being lifted onto the rooftop, and the store had to go with a Plan B tree.

Missoula investigators believe they've cracked a year and a half old casino robbery.
The county sheriff's department arrested a 31-year-old St. Ignatius man.
He's accused of stealing $9,000 at gunpoint.
It happened at the Grey Wolf Casino in Evaro in 2011.
A man entered the isolated establishment off Highway 93 North shortly after 1 a.m., pointed a handgun at the attendant, and took the money.
David Whaley appeared in Missoula Justice court on robbery charges Thursday afternoon.
Investigators obtained a search warrant for his St. Ignatius home Wednesday,and arrested the self-employed contractor there.
Although Whaley denied ever owning a handgun, a court affidavit reports the search revealed handgun ammunition and a pawnshop card.
The report said pawnshop records showed Whaley bought a handgun matching the description of the one used in the robbery.
Judge John Odlin set bail at $50,000.
Whaley told the court he can hire his own attorney.

Ned Yost media session, May 20
Royals manager, Ned Yost, met with the media this morning and the topic of discussion was pitching. "People have to realize that these guys aren't robots. They are going to have good days and bad days and our guys are going to have a lot more good days than bad days, but they are going to come in and have days when they are going to get hit," said Yost. Nate Adcock will be the starting pitcher this afternoon in the final game of the Arizona series. Yost said. "He has great natural movement on his fastball and his slider and changeup have improved from last year. So the key to him is throwing strikes, keeping the ball down and staying ahead in the count and he has been doing that all year."
Alex Gordon, Jeff Francouer and Eric Hosmer have been struggling at the plate. Yost said "They are just off on their timing and late on fastballs and as soon as they can get themselves back on that fastball that is when they will take off." Yost has never worried about Hosmer losing his confidence during his hitting slump. "I don't think he will ever lose his confidence. He got a little frustrated when we sat him down those two days, but confidence was not an issue," said Yost. Hosmer just needed to have a two-day rest period where he could catch his breath and clear his mind.

Jazz At Lincoln Centre With Wynton Marsalas
New York's best visit the West.
In 1987, world renowned trumpeter and composer Wynton Marsalis co-founded a program at Lincoln Center, which would grow into a cornerstone of the international jazz community and produce the spectacular Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra (JLCO). Under Marsalis' direction, the JLCO will perform repertoire across the full jazz spectrum: modern renditions of traditional favorites including tunes by Thelonious Monk, Herbie Hancock, Joe Henderson, Jackie McLean, Lee Morgan, and an array of compositions and arrangements by jazz contemporaries including members of the JLCO.
Hailed as "the finest big band in the world today" by the Daily Telegraph, the Orchestra's lush, polished tone will transport audiences and set feet tapping with brassy, swinging sound.

Good fat? Find out about healthy eating.
You've heard the phrase, "You are what you eat," right? Well, it's partially true
— not that you'll turn into a cow if you eat
too many burgers
— but there's a little truth in there somewhere!
Healthy eating is all about choosing the foods that help your body function at its
best. A balanced diet gives you more energy, and helps you think more clearly. Take
a look at the following tips and learn a little about nutrition: It'll help you
make good decisions so you can feel your best, every day.
Food categories
— what you need for healthy eating
Your body needs at least 40 nutrients to work well.
You get these nutrients through food and supplements (like vitamins). Food is divided
into three categories: carbohydrates, protein, and fat. Each of these provides vitamins,
minerals, and amino acids. Too much of any one category can throw your body's balance
out of whack.
Let's go back to those burgers. Say you eat them for lunch and dinner every day.
Well, burgers are red meat, which is protein. Too much protein is hard on your kidneys
and can even damage them. Too many carbs (candy bars, pasta, bread)
on the other hand, might make your pancreas work overtime, which can increase your
chance of getting diabetes. Fats are a little more confusing because they are divided
into "good" and "bad" categories. Bad fats can hurt you by possibly clogging your
arteries and increasing your chance of heart disease.
Carbohydrates, or "carbs," are the sugars and starches found in foods like bread,
pasta, rice, potatoes, cereals, dried beans and peas, and sugars. According to most
nutrition experts, carbs should make up the bulk of your diet. Carbohydrates provide
your body with valuable vitamins, minerals and fiber.
There are two kinds of carbs:
Fats are a great source of energy, but they have more calories per serving than
any of the other food groups
— about 135 calories a tablespoon compared with 60 calories for a tablespoon
of protein. Some fats are better for you than others. Steer clear of trans-unsaturated
and saturated fats and cholesterol. These are found in animal fats and can be harmful
to your body in large amounts.
Polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats
— found in natural vegetable oils
— actually help your body function. In Mediterranean countries (Italy,
Spain, Greece) where olive oil is used a lot, there's
a low rate of heart disease and breast cancer. Some fats are rich in omega-3 fatty
acids. These are mainly in fish oils, and actually protect your body against diseases
such as atherosclerosis and arthritis.
Proteins — found in meat, poultry, fish, milk, eggs,
soy products, beans, seeds, cheese, and other foods — give your body amino acids that help build
and maintain tissue. Your body needs protein for repairing cells, too. Most people
tend to eat more protein than they need
— and they get that protein mostly through meat and cheese, which isn't
so great. Only about 10 to 15 percent of your total intake each day should be from
So that's a wrap on nutrition, but it's up to you to choose the right foods for
your body. Whether you're looking to add more protein or carbs to your diet, do
your research and make the right decision for you.

WINTERSVILLE - The prep football season is still relatively young, but there's already a showdown game on tap.
It's a battle of unbeatens at Kettlewell Memorial Stadium on Friday night as Buckeye 8 plays kicks off with a bang for Indian Creek and St. Clairsville.
''The next eight weeks are like a gauntlet,'' Red Devils coach Brett McLean said. ''There are big games every week for everyone and it can certainly wear on you.''
Article Photos
File photo
Running back Blake Roar and the Indian Creek Redskins hope to be hitting the end zone often Friday night against St. Clairsville.
St. Clairsville's Corey Ernest
Indian Creek's Logan Woods
Not much has worn on either the Red Devils nor the Redskins this season as both have been relatively unchallenged en route to their respective 3-0 starts.
St. Clairsville steamrolled Wheeling Park, Brooke and Dayton Jefferson, while the Redskins were victorious against Weir, East Liverpool and Oak Glen.
''We've gotten a little better each week, which is certainly a positive,'' Redskins coach Andrew Connor said. ''We've been able to play hard and pretty physical. However, we've been suceptible to some big plays and we've been somewhat careless with the football. Those are things we've got to work on.''
The Red Devils are making their third road trip in four weeks and it's their first time they'll play on a grass field.
However, that's really of little concern to McLean.
''We'll practice some this week on grass and we practiced some in the preseason on it, too,'' McLean said. ''What really worries me is that we've not been on the field for four full quarters yet. How are we going to react in those situations?''
Against a quality Redskins team this could be the week the Red Devils are put to the test for the entire 48 minutes.
''We pr-obably co-uldn't be staring at any tougher of an opener than at Indian Cr-eek,'' Mc-Lean said. ''They're one of the most talented teams in the league and we've been watching many of their kids for three years now.''
The Red Devils have plenty of talent in their own right, considering they've got two future major college recruits in senior Dan Monteroso (Boston College) and junior Michael Ferns (Michigan) and plenty of other weapons the Redskins defense and coordinator Sean Grinch will be facing.
''We've seen all three of St. Clairsville's games and they're able to take whatever you're giving them,'' Connor said. ''Usually a team hangs its hat on one part of the offense primarily, but St. Clairsville is really balanced.
"Our defense is going to have to play smart assignment football.''
While the Red Devils' aforementioned players get much of the publicity, the St. C. engine is fueled by senior quarterback Matt Kinnick. He's completed 27 of 39 passes for 563 yards and 11 touchdowns.
Junior speedster Jaylon Brown leads the ground attack with 300 yards and five touchdowns. Monteroso has been the focal point for St. Clairsville the last two weeks. He's caught 13 passes for 313 yards and seven touchdowns.
Ferns, who plays all over on offense, has run for 87 yards and a score and has four receptions for 106 yards and two touchdowns.
Titus Lepic and Jerrid Marhefka are also options. Marhefka is playing with a cast on his hand, which has limited his pass-catching abilities.
The Red Devils line, which is comprised of Corey Ernest, Cole Stephen, Joel Giffin, Tom Parker and Nick VanVoltenburg, has been brilliant this season in protecting for Kinnick and opening holes for Brown.
''We're really impressed with Creek's defensive front,'' McLean said.
''They've got smart, fast and physical players. They're quicker than teams we've seen to this point, so this will certainly be a good gauge of where we are.''
The Redskins defense is led by linebackers Shane Winland and Tyler Sharpe, who've combined for 45 tackles.
Montell McClelland is an impressive defensive end.
On the offensive side, Creek is averaging almost 40 points a game behind the solid quarterback play of Alex Young.
The two-headed rushing monster of Blake Roar and Logan Woods has been impressive. Each has better than 200 yards thus far.
''Indian Creek is impressive because they spread you out or they can line up and play physical and just try to maul you,'' McLean said.
''They do a lot of things well, they've got a stable of backs and their quarterback is the best we've faced so far.''
The Red Devils defense has been staunch since a few halftime adjustments were made against Wheeling Park.
Ernest, Derek Shunk, Ferns, Stephen, Ben Coleman, Brown and Luke Smith are a few of the defensive leaders for the Devils.
''We can't have the unforced errors or bad penalties,'' Connor said. ''We can't put ourselves behind the chains or have positive plays called back. Plus, we've got to be able to throw the ball.''

- "That's what we are: ghosts. Waiting for you in the dark. You can't see us, but we see you. No matter whose cloak you wear: Lannister, Stark, Baratheon, you prey on the weak, the Brotherhood Without Banners will hunt you down."
- ―Beric Dondarrion to Sandor Clegane
The Brotherhood Without Banners is an outlaw group working against Lannister interests in the Riverlands at the time of the War of the Five Kings, though their goal is to protect the smallfolk from any force preying on them, regardless of which King or Lord they support.
The group was indirectly created by Eddard Stark, when he sent out a force of knights to restore peace and justice to the Riverlands, bolstered by several of his own household guards from House Stark. Trapped behind enemy lines, they became a guerrilla fighting group, and were joined by deserters from different armies in the war as well as commoners trying to defend their homes. The Brotherhood continues to fight to protect the commoners of the Riverlands in the name of King Robert and Lord Eddard.
Following the Red Wedding, the Brotherhood Without Banners is one of the few surviving groups who still actively resist Lannister rule of the Seven Kingdoms.
Known MembersEdit
- Lord Beric Dondarrion, Lord of Blackhaven.
- Thoros, a Red Priest of the Lord of Light from the Free City of Myr.
- Anguy, a champion archer from the Stormlands.
The Brotherhood Without Banners was formed in the aftermath of the Battle at the Mummer's Ford, in which the host assembled by Eddard Stark to arrest and execute Ser Gregor Clegane, under the leadership of Lord Beric Dondarrion, was ambushed. The survivors were trapped behind enemy lines, but led by Dondarrion and Thoros of Myr, they formed the Brotherhood to harass Lannister forces. Over time, they began to feel that none of the factions in the War of the Five Kings, the Starks or the Lannisters, were looking out for the welfare of the smallfolk. Stark raiding parties would burn out farms in the Riverlands just to deny their resources to the Lannisters, and the Lannisters would do the same.
The Brotherhood therefore decided to fight for no "banner" of one king or another in the war, but to fight to defend the common people against raiding parties of soldiers who prey on the weak during the war. From the core group which was originally sent out by Eddard Stark - and contained some of his own household guards from Winterfell - the Brotherhood gained new members during the course of the war as it was joined by Stark deserters, Baratheon deserters, and simple commoners who wanted to defend their homes.
In short, the Brotherhood Without Banners are a rag-tag band of misfits who rob from the rich to give to the poor, making hit-and-run attacks then retreating back to the forests.
Season 2Edit
At Harrenhal, the Lannister torturer known as the Tickler interrogates prisoners from a nearby village and demands to know where the Brotherhood is, what they are planning and which villagers are collaborating with them.[1]
After the poisoning of Ser Amory Lorch, Ser Gregor Clegane believes the Brotherhood Without Banners is responsible. Lord Tywin Lannister considers the name to be grandiose for a band of brigands and outlaws. Tywin is angered that the Brotherhood is operating behind the Lannister lines and harrying their forces with impunity.[2]
Season 3Edit
Following their escape from Harrenhal, Arya, Hot Pie, and Gendry are ambushed by the Brotherhood as they attempt to make their way to Riverrun. The trio are questioned by Thoros, who mistakes them for war refugees, and invites them back to a nearby inn for food and drink. The Brotherhood also captures Sandor Clegane, who identifies Arya.[3]
The Brotherhood refuses to let Arya go, effectively making her their hostage. Meanwhile, Gendry chooses to join them.[4]
Season 6 Edit
It is mentioned by Walder Frey that the Brotherhood is still disrupting Frey supply lines in the Riverlands.[5]
In the booksEdit
In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, a group of soldiers, knights, and armed peasants known as the Brotherhood Without Banners forms to help protect the smallfolk in the Riverlands from the depredations of the war and abuses of military forces, particularly the Lannisters but also Stark forces.
The known members of the Brotherhood are:
- Lord Beric Dondarrion, the leader
- Thoros of Myr
- Edric "Ned" Dayne, Lord of Starfall and House Dayne in Dorne, Beric's squire
- Lem Lemoncloak
- Harwin, formerly a member of the household guard of Eddard Stark
- Jack-Be-Lucky
- Tom of Sevenstreams, a singer of dubious repute
- The Mad Huntsman, who caught the Hound
- Greenbeard
- Anguy the archer
- Merrit O'Moontown
- Watty the Miller
- Swampy Meg
- Jon O'Nutten
- Melly
- Puddingfoot
- {Kyle}, killed in a battle with the Brave Companions
- {Alyn of Winterfell}
The core of the Brotherhood Without Banners are formed from the force of 100 soldiers that Eddard Stark himself sent out under the command of Ser Beric Dondarrion to bring Ser Gregor Clegane to justice when news came that Gregor was raiding villages in the Riverlands. In fact, it was Tywin Lannister's intention to goad Eddard into confronting him in order to use it as a pretext for war, and he knew Eddard's strong sense of justice would prevent him from letting Gregor's depredations of the smallfolk go unanswered. Thus the Lannisters anticipated this response and laid a trap for the men sent by Eddard at the Battle of Mummers Ford, in which most of the force was destroyed. The goal of the trap was actually to lure Eddard himself out of the safety of the capital city in order to assassinate him in the ambush, however, Tywin and Ser Gregor were not aware at the time that Jaime had badly injured Eddard's knee when he recklessly assaulted him in the street. Eddard was too badly injured to ride and lead the hunt for Ser Gregor in person, inadvertently thwarting the Lannister plan.
About a third of Dondarrion's force led by Thoros manage to cut their way out of the ambush, though Dondarrion himself was killed. His body was recovered, however, and when Thoros reflexively recited a prayer to the Lord of Light over his deceased friend, much to his surprise Dondarrion magically returned to life. The few survivors led by Dondarrion were cut off behind enemy lines, and decided to form the Brotherhood to continue to harass Gregor's Lannister forces, still following Eddard Stark's orders to make the Lannisters answer for their crimes. Eddard supplemented Ser Beric's expedition with members of his own personal guard, thus several members of the Brotherhood Without Banners are the last survivors of his household guard from Winterfell who accompanied him to King's Landing. One of them, Harwin, was even present when Eddard and his sons found the six direwolf pups in the first chapter of the first novel. They continue to fight in memory of Eddard Stark, but after seeing the suffering of the smallfolk as both Lannister and Stark forces burned out villages to deny them to the enemy, they began to fight for the ideal of protecting the smallfolk from both Lannister and Stark soldiers. It is stated that about one third of Dondarrion's original one hundred men died in the ambush at Mummer's ford, thus the original core group of the Brotherhood Without Banners consisted of about thirty to forty men (it is unclear how many were from Eddard Stark's personal guard), though this was later supplemented by smallfolk and deserters from different sides in the war.
By the second novel (the same timespan as Season 2 in the TV series), the Brotherhood Without Banners has become an irritant to the Lannister army at Harrenhal and Ser Gregor Clegane's men are trying to find the Brotherhood's leaders.
Many characters who later formed the Brotherhood were introduced at the Tourney of the Hand in the first novel. This tourney did occur in Season 1 of the TV series, but the characters were not introduced, because they would not really make a significant appearance until Season 3 - they are given cameos in the first novel but only reappear as "the Brotherhood" in the third novel (though as in Season 2 of the TV series, in the second novel characters do mention that something called "the Brotherhood" is harassing Lannister supply lines).
At the Tourney of the Hand, Anguy won the archery contest and Thoros of Myr won the melee contest. This is why they arrived in King's Landing, and were available when Ned Stark ordered Beric Dondarrion to lead out a group of able knights to bring Gregor Clegane to justice - the soldiers who formed the original core of the Brotherhood Without Banners. Thus the connection might be lost on the TV audience that one of the reasons the Brotherhood is such a disproportionately capable fighting force is because so many of its initial members were elite fighters who came to the capital city to participate in the Tourney of the Hand. For example it might a bit contrived in the TV series that, as if by pure chance, the Brotherood's lead archer Anguy just happens to be preternaturally skilled with a bow. The books actually do explain that he is a professional archer so skilled that he actively competes in tournaments, and indeed recently won first place at a royal-level archery tournament. Moreover, he doesn't just happen to be wandering in the Riverlands, but the rational reason was given that he was in the capital for a major tournament, before being sent out with Dondarrion.
Following the massacre of the Stark army at the Red Wedding, the Brotherhood Without Banners is one of the few remaining pockets of resistance against Lannister control in the Riverlands. The one or two dozen original members of the Brotherhood who used to be part of Eddard Stark's personal guard (such as Harwin) are thus one of the only groups of Stark soldiers who managed to escape death or capture in the war. Even after the Red Wedding, they continue to fight the Lannisters in the name of King Robert and Lord Eddard.
Although the Brotherhood claims to protect the smallfolk, they sometimes rob the same people they are supposed to protect, as they did to the Old woman prisoner. She told bitterly that Beric "took two of my chickens and gave me a bit of paper with a mark on it. Can I eat a bit of raggy old paper, I ask you? Will it give me eggs?". The Brotherhood members that encountered Arya, Gendry and Hot Pie intended to treat them similarly: take their horses and pay with a paper. To justify their acts, they claim that they will pay after the war is over, and that they can make better use of those items than their previous owners by fighting for the good of the realm. Even if the Brotherhood intends to honor its obligations, it is not much of consolation to the poor people they rob.
Following the Red Wedding, the Brotherhood have fallen low, and are no different to regular outlaws. They concentrate on hunting lone participants of the Red Wedding, particularly the Freys, and hang them.
The "Brotherhood Without Banners" (or BWB) is also the name of George R.R. Martin's fanbase, particularly the part of which gathers around the Westeros.org forums. His fifth A Song of Ice and Fire novel, A Dance with Dragons, is dedicated to the Brotherhood Without Banners.

The Sopranos' Drea De Matteo Joins Charlize Theron In Dark Places
By Nick Venable 2013-09-06 05:59:09 comments
While a lot of hot-blooded men were probably rocking on their heels waiting to see Christina Hendricks play a stripper in Gilles Paquet-Brenners upcoming mystery thriller Dark Places, her role was recently changed once the film went into production. The waiting game to see who filled the role hasnt lasted long, as Exclusive Media announced in Toronto that actress Drea de Matteo will be filling the role. Or drilling the pole, as it were.
While shes well-known for her TV work, de Matteo hasnt had a role in a film with this much buzz going for it since she starred in Stephen Winter and Xan Cassavetes' segment in 2009s New York, I Love You, and if that doesnt count, then its probably 2001s Swordfish. Or maybe 2005s Assault on Precinct 13. Either way, weve been lucky that de Matteo keeps landing great roles on TV. Shes arguably best known for her Emmy Award-winning work as Adriana on HBOs classic series The Sopranos, and has had long stints on series such as Desperate Housewives, Joey and most recently Sons of Anarchy, which shell come back to when it returns on September 10.
In the film, an adaptation of Gillian Flynns bestselling 2009 novel, protagonist Libby Day (Charlize Theron) was seven years old when her mother and two sisters were brutally murdered, devil worshiper style, and she testified that her teenage brother Ben (Corey Stoll) was the killer. As an adult, Libby is confronted by a secret society of crime-obsessed mystery-solvers who want to prove Bens innocence, and Libbys search for the truth takes her all over the place, with a killer not far behind. de Matteo will portray exotic dancer Krissi Cates, who Libby meets along the way, learning that Krissi accused Ben of being a child molester.
Dark Places also stars Hendricks as young Libby's mother, Nicholas Hoult (Warm Bodies, Tye Sheridan (Mud), Andrea Roth (Rescue Me), and Chloë Grace Moretz (Kick-Ass). Its currently filming in Shreveport, Louisiana, and is set to hit theaters next year on September 1, 2014.
This is the first of two Flynn adaptations we can look forward to in the next year or two, as David Fincher is currently casting his next project, the thriller Gone Girl, with Ben Affleck and Rosamund Pike.
Earlier this year, de Matteo filmed Shana Betzs crime drama Free Ride with Anna Paquin, but theres no release date set for it yet. Although there are clips out there of de Matteo in a bra-and-panties scene that would fit the subject of this story, this fanmade tribute video is far too excellent to pass up, given the awkward juxtaposition of Whitesnakes Here I Go Again next to anything.

WASHINGTON (AP) - The woman who says she was sexually assaulted by three U.S. Naval Academy midshipmen is scheduled to testify at a hearing.
The female midshipman was expected to testify early Wednesday morning at an Article 32 hearing at the Washington Navy Yard. Such hearings are held to determine whether there is enough evidence to proceed to a court-martial.
The first day of the proceedings ended late Tuesday after lawyers spent hours during a closed-door session arguing about what evidence would be admissible.
Midshipmen Josh Tate, Eric Graham and Tra'ves Bush are charged with sexually assaulting the woman at an off-campus house after she had passed out from a night of drinking.
The charges are based on an investigation by the Naval Criminal Investigative Service.

WHEELING -Hannah Absalom wasn't perfect, but she was darn close to it Saturday afternoon.
The hard-throwing right-hander tossed her second consecutive no-hitter as No. 1 seed St. John Central (18-2) defended its OVAC Class A championship with an 8-0 beating of second-seeded Bishop Donahue on Lisa's Field.
She whiffed 10 and missed a perfect game with a fourth-inning leadoff walk to Tess Fallova, who was erased when a bunt attempt turned into a double play. Megan Rush popped up the attempt and Morgan DeLuca sprung out from behind the plate to snag the ball. She then spun and fired a strike to Sydney Helms at first to complete the twin-killing.
Article Photos
St. John pitcher Hannah Absalom works against Bishop Donahue.
"What can you say about Hannah?" veteran St. John Central skipper Jerry Magistro asked. "She deserves everything she gets because she's a nice kid who works very hard."
Absalom, who now has four no-hitters this season and seven for her career, seemed unphased by all of the attention she's been receiving.
According to most softball guru's Saturday, Absalom might have become the first pitcher to author back-to-back no-nos in an OVAC semifinal and championship game in the same season.
"Awesome," she said when informed of that. "It feels really good. All of my pitches were working."
Bishop Donahue coach Curt Mele was also impressed with Absalom's performance.
''She's a fabulous pitcher and had everything going for her," he said. "We just ran into a buzz-saw."
With the victory, St. John Central recorded its ninth OVAC softball crown. John Marshall also has nine, while the Bishops total 13, one more than Wheeling Central.
"It never gets old when you win championships," Magistro said with a smile. "The valley is big on OVACs and it's nice when your kids can put themselves in place to win an OVAC championship.
"Winning an OVAC title is always one of our goals, but it's not our only goal," stressed Magistro, who won his 250th game earlier in the season. "It's one of them. Getting to play against teams from West Virginia makes it even more special to win an OVAC title."
With Absalom working her magic inside the circle, the Irish led 1-0 before posting five runs in the bottom of the fourth to take a commanding 6-0 advantage.
Kylee Falcone, the Irish's No. 9 hitter, was hit-by-a-pitch with one out and Kaydie Coppa walked. Absalom's bloop single to shallow right-center plated Falcone to make it 2-0. Morgan DeLuca reached on an error as Coppa raced home. Caitlin Sliva's infield pop was mishandled as the fourth run crossed the plate. Sydney Helms' shot up the middle was too hot to handle as the fifth run of the inning scored. Kristen Russell's bouncer to third was thrown late to the plate, making it 6-0.
"That one inning cost us," Mele said. "I think we gave up four or five runs and they (St. John) only had one ball hit out of the infield."
Absalom and DeLuca had back-to-back RBI doubles in the fifth to conclude the scoring. They each finished with a single, double and two RBI. Coppa laced a trio of singles.
"I'm happy for all of my team, especially my two seniors," Magistro said of Coppa and Russell.

Mark Schlabach of ESPN is now predicting us to take on Navy in the Texas Bowl. We have a long ways to go, but to have us mentioned in bowl predictions is a great feeling.

Wow. That is a good feeling. They have us playing Navy. That would be awesome.
I like this.

Beats the hell out of being 1-3 and being mentioned for the Bottom 10.
Then you have College football news who has at one spot ahead of Colorado in their rankings with our "2-2" record

His performance is making me believe that Paul Rhoads might be able to sneak his team into a bowl game this season. It means three victories in conference play, but if the Cyclones play like they have tonight and last week at Kent State, they have a shot.
Its possible, but with the new injuries I am going to stay indifferent about it. I think I would rather fly further under the radar.
NHL teams need to be added to the favorite teams section.
that would be sweet
Iowa State: Anyone who's a true college basketball fan needs to see a game at Hilton Coliseum. Nice is in the DNA of Iowans and the fans here are particularly gracious -- even when the home team loses but gives a great effort, they are appreciative.
ESPN.com picked Hilton Coliseum as the "Hot Arena" in the Big 12...coaches in the league noted that, "regardless of talent, the Cyclones have a home court like no other."
Probably going to Padre Island for vacation around New Years, not much of a detour to Houston...
IF we were to play in the Texas bowl this year, would we get paid for it this time?

I'm attempting to configure the Outlook Connector on a XP SP3 machine with Office 2007 installed on it. The machines are in Active Directory, so I've installed the Connector as admin, and am attempting to create a new profile in Outlook via the Mail account in Control Panel.
Once I type in the user's password into the password field, and hit enter, I get the following message:

Item # SCH0107
Don't worry though, we have a lot more Mountain 27.5" Tubular Tires in stock than that.View Similar Products
Schwalbe Hans Dampf Snakeskin TL Ready - 27.5in $0.00
Schwalbe has long been a leader in the 29er movement, providing options for all trail conditions. So, it comes as no surprise to see Schwalbe aggressively entering the 27.5in (650b) arena. The Hans Dampf Snakeskin TL Ready - 27.5in Tire is designed as a jack-of-all-trades tire that positions itself firmly between the fast-rolling Rocket Ron and tenacious Knobby Nic.
Large tread blocks and a Snakeskin sidewall reinforcement places the Hans Dampf squarely in the 27.5 all-mountain market. And with five-inch-plus travel full suspension bikes showing up in progressive manufacturers' stables, we expect to see this tire become very popular.
This tire features Schwalbe's tubeless ready TL technology, meaning that it'll require sealant in order to complete the picture. Which, in our eyes, is no big deal, as sealant has proven to not only provide an air tight seal, but it also helps prevent flats down the road. Adding to that flat-resistant picture is the aforementioned Snakeskin sidewall. This is a nylon-fabric protection layer that's laminated to the sidewall in order to prevent cuts and abrasion from rocks. And while the added material does add heft to the Hans' waistline, it's only marginal when considering the added piece of mind.
The Hans Dampf uses Schwalbe's 67tpi casing with a three-ply layer under the tread. That aggressive tread pattern is composed of Schwalbe's TrailStar compound -- a rubber mixture that contains carbon filler. This gives the Dampf a tough compound without hindering pliability. The result is a fast-rolling, aggressive tire. And for added cornering traction, Schwalbe also used a grippy, softer rubber for the side knobs.
The Schwalbe Hans Dampf Snakeskin TL Ready - 27.5in Tire is available in either a 2.25 or 2.35in tire width.
Tech Specs
Reviews & Community
Gets weird bulges
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I used to have two Hans Dampf tires on my bike and they both went weird and got bulges in them and had to throw them out. Agreed, terrible durability.
Great grip, horrible durability
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
If I was rating this tire on grip alone, it would be 5 stars. If you want a tire that corners well, grips in nearly every condition, handles predictably and rolls reasonable well; AND can afford to replace tires every few rides, this is the tire for you. The downsides: 1) Extremely short life span. I was losing entire nobs after the second ride on both the front and rear tires. Was forced to replace the rear after about 5 rides and half the tread shearing off, limped the front along for a month until it punctured. 2) Terrible tires for shedding mud. I have Nevegals, Minions and High Roller IIs on my other bikes, and all do a far better job getting rid of the sticky stuff. Full disclosure, I do ride a lot of rocky trails here in MT, so I would imagine the Hans Dampf would perform better somewhere with softer trails. Pacific NW, perhaps. Friend with Magic Marys had similar durability issues. Fix that, Schwalbe, and I'll be back.
I had these front and rear with the Trail Star compound, and as mentioned in former reviews, I realize you always sacrifice some durability for great grip. This, however, is extreme. If you're a sponsored rider and get free tires every race, go for it. For the rest of us, there's better options.
Replaced with High Roller II rear and Minion DHF front. No durability issues yet and perform almost as well.
This tire is VERY good!
I run two on my Tallboy LTc and one on the front of my SS29er. These tires are not cheap and they don't last super long, but they are VERY GOOD!
Good for non-aggressive riding
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
These tires are reasonably grippy and predictable, but in my experience they disappoint as soon as you get on the gas. They are a super round profile, filled with knobs, and super soft rubber. This makes them a very smooth and supple ride that less aggressive riders would most likely love. Cornering hard leaves a lot to be desired though, as you get faster and lower in a corner the traction remains fairly consistent until you get on the super SUPER soft cornering knobs, which seem to just smoosh out of the way and give out. For a beefy tire they roll pretty well and are good for long XC rides, but if you are looking for a tire that will give you the confidence to ride faster down hill then look elsewhere. I too am about to try out the High Roller IIs in place of these, and have high hopes. Those have more spaced out center and cornering knobs, which should theoretically hook up much better in fast corners.
Durability is also a reason for a lost star on this tire. Scwhalbe knew they were sacrificing durability when they used super soft rubber to get more traction. Personally though I think there are harder tires out there with even better traction due to better tread patterns.
Grip, but not without some sacrifice
So, I got a Hans Dampf because it was the only tire available with large enough side knobs when I built my bike. I trimmed out the outside intermediate knobs immediately. I have only had this tire since the end of April, But its already on it's way out, side knobs are cracking where they meet the casing. Great grip, but the side knobs aren't as supportable as I would have liked, i do trust this tire diving into corers, but am excited t put my High Roller II on the front soon!

Thanks LeaRae for the complimentary coaching session. Your reassurance meant a lot to me. I have more confidence knowing that my business venture is viable. Thanks for the tips you gave me and more importantly, thanks for your time.
I want to let you know how much I value your articles. I consider them priceless with the wealth of tips, advice & information they provide. I have to tear myself away from reading them so I can focus on implementing what I have learned. My goal is to eventually read all 494 issues.
Also, thank-you so very much for the complimentary coaching session we had Wednesday. You made excellent suggestions that I am now incorporating into my business strategies.

When I started my website, I thought I had a good idea, and I tried to do everything at once. After my free consultation with you, I focused on building my list, as you recommended. In the process of doing that, I kept adding content, and creating "give aways" to encourage people to sign up.
I actually got somewhat discouraged for awhile, but then one day I got a call from a man who owned a company that sells supplies to home health and hospice agencies. He said you had referred me to him. When he looked at my website with all its content, he called me back and said, "You are the perfect person for me."
So, now I am doing just what I had intended to do with my website, from home, working for this company. I am salaried, plus I get part of any service or product that I helped develop.
I am amazed by how this has all fallen together! Thank you, LeaRae, for your advice and for your referral. Now I am doing just what I want to be doing. I am working from home as a nurse.

Her approach seems quite effortless, yet it has been refined through years of experience and learning. She is a true pleasure. She is an inspiration in what she has achieved in her own life, and by her own example..."
Catherine BobenhausenNew York, NY
"I'm so glad I found the Nurse Entrepreneur Network! LeaRae always has great ideas to share with other "Nursepreneurs." I recently finished the teleclass "Get Clients Now!" and I have to say that it was the most motivational and informative program I've done. Just starting out in my business as an LNC, this program help me set goals and keep me organized. It also kept me accountable to my peers in the group each week. LeaRae is so insightful and has wonderful experience to draw from for those of us who are beginning our dream of being nurse entrepreneurs. I would highly recommend ANYONE who is just starting their business, or even someone who's been in business awhile and feels like they're in a lull to take this class. They won't regret it!"

Tip what you can afford based on the service you get.
Last edited by Triple BB; 08-27-2013 at 08:17 PM.
Dan, a standard tip in general is about 15% of your hunt cost. 10% to guide, 5% to packer/cook. Of course, all of your expectations should have been met and the outfit did what they said they were going to do. If you are guided by the outfitter it is reasonable to tip the staff and not him.
Do you tip the cook if you stay in a small hunting lodge or just tip the camp cook on a pack trip?
Tip as much as you can, ESP if you plan on hunting with him again, he will not forget a good tip. I'm taking my dad on a Kansas mulie hunt in two weeks and I'm prepared to split 20% up between the guide and cook, more to the guide than cook.
Dustin, what I posted is just a general guideline. Our guides never expect a tip, that's how we operate. So when they get a tip, no matter the amount, it is a nice surprise. The hunter can tip any amount he/she chooses, or not at all if the service didn't warrant a tip.
Tipping takes discretion.
When you go out for a nice meal, you would normally tip 15% to 18% or so for an 1 to 1.5 hours of service. A waiter/waitress is going to wait several tables at a time and receive tips say in the $10 to $50 an hour range (depending on the restaurant).
On a hunt, a guide is going to start at 4 or 5 am and finish at 9 or 10 pm, working 16 to 18 hours a day. On a 1 on 1 hunt that guide is only serving you. On a seven day hunt tipping only $50 a day would be a $350 tip, and that works out to only $3 an hour.
You go on a 10 day hunt, and kill on the second day, so should you only tip $100? I wouldn't think so. The guide will not be guiding anyone else (no more tips during that hunt), and may have spent days or weeks scouting for that animal.
If you base it strictly on a percentage of the price of the hunt rather than the duration, some species are just going to cost far more due to supply and demand yet still require similar guiding effort. For example a stone sheep hunt is going to run $30K+, so should a person feel obligated to tip $4500 (15%) or $321 a day for a 14 day hunt? I think 14 days of elk hunting is every bit as strenuous yet the price of the hunt would be far less.
I've been on a few guided hunts. In one case the guide knew the area well. We got into multiple bull elk and killed on day four. I tipped him well.
On another hunt I went on, the outfitter had not secured the proper permits to hunt national forest land, and my guide drove me around in a pick-up truck and clearly had not scouted. Needless to say that hunt was a bomb and I didn't tip well. Later I was called by authorities that the outfitter was under investigation.
Again all that is to say to use your discretion and treat your guide as you would want to be treated. I've always carried enough cash to be generous, then see how the hunt actually plays out.
