Firstly Lone Survivor was just so boring and predictable. I never once was surprised.
The action sequences were atrocious. Way to many close up where in which we see gore but are taken out of the idea of war. Half the film seemed like repetitive sequences of men falling down a mountain. It was like if 15 minutes after the D-Day opening sequence of Saving Private Ryan, the film finished.
The level of violence was beyond gratuitous, totally over the top and without a reason. There wasn't a stylistic advantage or plot advantage. It seemed like a time filler because they had a 3 minute story that needed to take up 121 minutes.
There was nothing to tell me, I knew everything that would happen right from the beginning, even down to someone from the "other side" finding and aiding him. That aspect was their last desperate attempt to not seem so propagandizing that one might question the US militarized involvement in funding the project.
The film gave a dishonest interpretation of war. It wasn't Black Hawk Down, it was Passion of the Christ. Trying to affect me with jarring visuals like a Saw film instead of inventive and unique story telling, which is almost understandable as there is little to no story to tell.
For Christ's sake they thought it appropriate to let you know all but one will die in the title of the film. Becoming emotionally invested in the characters was extremely hard as they had no backstory behind one conversation about a concert and Mark Walhberg's character not understanding how wedding parties work.
It was as if I am supposed to care about these characters just because they're military men. That makes sense as I know that the author of the book/film is the Walhberg character. That helped me understand why he portrayed this one sided, black and white story. War is grey and this film was so dishonestly weighted. It pandered to us as an audience.

LOS ANGELES (LALATE EXCLUSIVE) – Are Vicki Gunvalson and Brooks Ayers back together 2013 dating once again? While it's unclear if Vicki Gunvalson and Brooks Ayers are back together in love, LALATE can exclusively report that they are not together in federal court anymore. Plaintiff Robert Williamson, III has dismissed his lawsuit against Vicki and Brooks.
On Monday, ironically just in time for a new episode of Real Housewives of Orange County to air, Plaintiff Robert Williamson filed a notice of voluntary dismissal of his case against Vicki and Brooks, LALATE can report. The dismissal was filed less than sixty days after the case was commenced.
On June 7, Williamson sued David B Ayers and Victoria L Gunvalson in the United States District Court District of Nevada (Las Vegas). The case dominated BravoTv.com blogs by Gunvalson. She was commented about the case even before she was served with the complaint. No proof of service upon Gunvalson was ever lodged with the court. Brooks accepted service on July 3, 2013.

The case was fascinating for a series of allegations revealed between the parties. While the case centered upon Vicki's Vodka, the matter also revealed that Gunvalson is working on Vick's Cigars, an import business out of Mexico. Vicki allegedly agreed to "contract Puerto Vallarta Cigar Factor[y] to discuss distribution to Us for online customers for Vicki's Cigars."

Vicki had told news previously "The allegations against us are totally unfounded, as we will prove in court if necessary. Thank you for your continued support. When life hands you a bunch of lemons… make lemonade!"
UPDATE: The case has been dismissed without prejudice only as to Gunvalson. "Without prejudice" enables the plaintiff to refile at a later date if he wishes. The case is still on-going as to Brooks Ayers. For more click HERE.

We were supposed to get this info tomorrow but it looks like Amazon jumped the gun a little. A first trailer and preliminary box art was revealed by the online retailer for God of War: Ascension, Kratos' next adventure on the PS3.
From the sound of the trailer, which you can view to the left of this article, this will be a prequel game, happening before the events in the original God of War. The listing on Amazon read, "Join Kratos as he seeks freedom, redemption, and the clarity to avenge his family in the most ambitious God of War adventure in the series so far."
Amazon quickly took down the original listing, but not before plenty of other sites got their hands on all the information.
No official release date was given, but the listing mentioned it should be out sometime in 2013. So you'll have to wait another year, but more details should arrive before too long.
Get your gaming fix by visiting any of these stores around Anoka County for all the latest releases.

"The Sacrament reminds us to pass on the on Kool Aid"
If you are a child born in this country in the 80's or 90's then you should be vaguely familiar with people like David Koresh and what happened to his followers in Waco Texas. How so many minds can be manipulated by one is one of the greatest mysteries to this date as we have witnessed the evil minds of figures such as Hitler and Manson. How they were able to seduce the minds of the ignorant is not too far fetched when we see what marketing and advertisements have done to our way of life. What of those wanting an escape? A release from the putrid existence of the materialistic; capitalist filled world we live in today? Is that what we should seek? To alienate ourselves from those who hold the item you maybe reading this review on so dear? In Ti West's The Sacrament, this is the dialogue that may exist in your head upon watching this disturbing piece of cinema. When a group of provocative broadcast journalism reporters help a friend to find his missing sister they come upon a way of life that may not be as secure as originally perceived.
Ti does a great job with The Sacrament in regards to create an unsettling tone that is felt the minute they arrive at the commune. What sticks out immediately is the lavish approach by the filmmaker to give you one glimpse into the life he has created, and as the story takes a turn for the worse so does the setting. The initial setup has the watcher feeling as if they too should abandon all they have and join up with the ranks of these few. Knowing that this film is a thriller brings uneasy tension as you are waiting for the mood of The Sacrament to change which happens as soon as they meet "Father".
We were hoping that the character of Father would have been a little bit more brash; a little bit more insidious. Not that he was not, but at times it felt as if Father was just another part of the flock instead of being it's ultimate benefactor. He brings the wit and charm of Ted Bundy or John Wayne Gacy as opposed to the leaders of the ill fated mentioned before. Still it's hard to deny how a person of his stature can captivate you. Almost as if you were with your grandfather sitting on the porch listening to war stories.
The real fear and genius of The Sacrament is that we as humans with our free minds can still succumn to the pressures of life. That is a scary notion that West exploits tremendously. This film has tons of appeal to many audiences and is powerful enough to remind us of films like Children of The Corn. Referring back to the setting argument stated early there is true significance in seeing something that starts off so beautiful end so tragically bad.
The cast of AJ Bowen and Joe Swanberg bring a true sympathy to their roles as they themselves become wrapped up in the mojo of Eden Parish. The Sacrament is not a ground breaking film by any means , nor one of West best. What it does show is how he has matured into a definitive filmmaker and shows that he has range most young directors may never achieve. We all know Ti West can produce the gore, the scares, and body count, but with The Sacrament he has also proven that frightens the subconscious. Don't pass up on The Sacrament which is an engaging display of terror from a future master of horror.
The Sacrament is now on demand and playing in limited theaters across the country. It is directed by Ti West and stars Joe Swanberg, Amy Seimetz, AJ Bowen, Kate Lyn Sheil, Gene Jones and Kentucker Audley. The Sacrament is being released courtesy of Magnet Releasing.

The Wildcats started the night off strong on vault, and held a near one point lead after two rotations, but the Pioneers fought back with an impressive rotation on floor to overtake the Wildcats through three rotations and claim a 145.550-145.500 lead.
"I was very proud of our vault and floor teams," Ryden said following the meet. "We had just sub-par performances on bars and beam. We needed to come back on floor. But it wasn't about winning and losing at that point. It was about us redeeming ourselves to our fans and performing like ?'
A week after setting a season-high team score on vault, the Wildcats had another strong showing in the event, posting a 48.925 to open the meet.
Also in the first rotation,
Holding a comfortable lead heading into the second rotation,
Despite the season-low score on bars, the Wildcats were able to extend their lead as neither
The Wildcats moved to the beam for the third rotation, but saw their lead turn into a slight advantage for
On floor, the Pioneers made a strong claim to upset the Wildcats as the team scored a 49.075, led by four scores of 9.8 or better. Casey Dobyns and Katie Andrews each earned 9.85s to share third place in the event, while Gretchen Goerlitz and Sasha Sullivan each tallied 9.825 marks for the Titans.
In the final rotation, Holton got the Wildcats back on track as she recorded the first of four 9.825 marks for the Wildcats on floor. Muirhead capped her home-career with a career-high tying performance of 9.825. Greene then matched her career-high with a 9.875 mark as she captured a share of the individual title with Wurm, who also matched her personal-best.Taylor added a 9.825 to close out the meet and secure Arizona its highest total in the event this year, 49.225.
"I am so proud of her," said Ryden of Muirhead who closed out her home career on floor. "To go out with a victory on Senior Night and to hit both of her events, that is all you can ask for. It's a great way to go out in front of her own fans."
On vault, the Pioneers gave a solid effort, but it wasn't enough to hold off the Wildcats. Paced by Dobyns' 9.825,
On beam, the Titans, who finished in third place, ended with two solid performances on beam as Nicole Yim and Brittany Evans received scores of 9.825 and 9.775, respectively, to prevent UA's
Even so,
"I've very proud of Aubrey," said Ryden. "It was her second time out trying a brand new vault. That girl is just so competitive. She answered the call tonight."
Following the meet, the program honored Muirhead and undergraduate assistant coach Jessamyn Salter in a Senior Night ceremony.
"I want to thank you both for all that you have given," Ryden said to the two seniors as he spoke before the crowd. "It has been an up and down ride, but you never gave up. This program is better because of that. As your coach, I just want to thank you for everything."

An alligator invasion has cost a couple their dream home and they blame ExxonMobile for this. The couple's alligator invasion is coming from the property next to their land, which is owned by the oil giant and was used for years as a disposal site for refinery waste.
According to Epoch Times on Feb. 5, a lawsuit claims that ExxonMobile populated the land with alligators as "canaries." Miners would bring the birds into the mines and if they died they knew there was lethal gas in the mine. They used the canaries as a warning system.
The oil giant is allegedly doing pretty much the same with alligators. The giant reptiles were trucked in by ExxonMobile and they are used as a warning system. If they start to die off, something is wrong.
Well they didn't die off, they multiplied and now Tom and Consandra Christmas can't stay on the land they purchased because it is not safe. The Christmas's knew when they purchased the land that they would occasionally see an alligator because they are living in Louisiana swamp land, but not 80 of the vicious creatures.
The couple is suing ExxonMobile because they cannot build their dream home on the property as it is overrun by alligators, the same alligators the company planted on their land to monitor toxicity. The couple originally lived on the property in a mobile home with plans to build their permanent home, but they couldn't stay there.
The couple has a lawyer and they are looking for the oil giant to compensate them for the land they cannot build on. Their attorney, Wayne Dowdy believes that the couple should be reimbursed for the land because "They have lost the use and enjoyment of their property."
The oil giant denies bringing the alligators to the property. The company's lawyer said that the couple purchased the land in 2003 and the statute of limitations has run out. Why are they bringing this suit to the courts now? The couple only learned about the alligator population once they moved there in 2007 and this lawsuit was filed before the three year statute of limitation has run out, claims Dowdy.
The couple had this case thrown out of court by a judge in 2011. The ExxonMobile company cannot do anything about the alligators which fall under all kinds of regulations from the state. The wildlife department for the state came out to the ExxonMobile property and removed several female breeding alligators at the request of the company. This didn't satisfy the Christmas couple so they sued.
Their lawyer wants a jury to decide if the alligators have caused a nuisance for the couple, so the case is on-going.

Worn-Down Wedges
Every now and then a journalist pens a piece which seems to state the obvious, but actually provides a useful summary of what really matters about things we think we all know. That's true of Politico's Jonathan Martin today, with an article entitled: "Obama skates while Right fumes."
Here's Martin's basic thesis:
Several times a month in his young presidency, Barack Obama has done things that cause conservatives to bray, using the phrase once invoked by Bob Dole, "Where's the outrage?!"
The outrage is definitely there, in certain precincts of Republican politics. What's notable, however, is that it mostly has stayed there — with little or no effect on Obama.
He has been blithely crossing ideological red lines and dancing on cultural third rails — the kinds of gestures that would have scorched an earlier generation of Democrats — with seeming impunity. Obama's foes, and even some of his allies, are a bit mystified.
Martin goes on to note that Republicans have been going nuts over nearly everything the new president has been doing or saying, but it's not sticking, particularly when it comes to culturally symbolic matters. And every time the conservative base of the GOP gets lathered up over Obama words and deeds that other Americans don't find that scandalous, the Right marginalizes itself a bit more, making the next round of unechoed outrage look even stranger.
The piece quotes all sorts of folks in both parties who speculate over this pheonomenon, and some cite generational change, some cite Obama's solid personality and careful style, some cite the experience Democrats gained during the Clinton years, and still others cite the economic circumstances that make symbolic politics less evocative.
You can read it all yourself, but the question I have is less about the effect of this dynamic on Obama, than its effect on the credibility of the Republican opposition. How many times can they go to the well with wedge-politics attacks that just don't work anymore? How relevant can they be when perpetually trotting out the rhetoric of the 1990s, particularly when it's the less-than-credible spokesmen of the 1990s, like Newt Gingrich, who's hot to trot? And at a time when Republicans have no obvious national leader, who is in a position to police the cumulative party message? Certainly not RNC chairman Michael Steele, who is on permanent probation.
If, of course, Barack Obama's agenda fails to work in the real world, Republicans will get some traction in criticizing him, and maybe they'll even grow some new leadership. But right now they are giving the new administration a lot of breathing room by resorting to worn-down wedge issues, offered by worn-out politicians, to the self-destructive excitement of a whipped-up activist base that thinks Glenn Beck makes sense.

The. US. Green Building council's new rating system, LEED for Neighborhood Development, which integrates the principles of smart growth, New Urbanism, and green building for neighborhood design, has been around for less than two years, but it is already gaining momentum.
The Green Building Certification Institute recently launched a new LEED Professional Credential - LEED AP for Neighborhood Development - for professionals participating in the planning and development of environmentally responsible communities. The exam measures knowledge of the LEED for Neighborhood Development Rating System and the ability to facilitate the LEED project certification process.
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) also jumped on the sustainable community bandwagon by using the rating system to score "location efficiency" of grant applications, meaning projects need to demonstrate greater accessibility to surrounding jobs, commercial areas, and transportation options. "It's time that federal dollars stopped encouraging sprawl and started lowering the barriers to any kind of sustainable development our country needs and our communities want," says HUD Secretary Shaun Donovan.
Meanwhile, the Sustainable Sites Initiative (SITES), which was mentioned in PUBLIC WORK's January 2009 Industry Forecast, is on its way to becoming the nation's first rating system for sustainable landscapes. A two-year pilot program, which included more than 150 projects from around the world, concluded in June. Feedback will be used to revise the final rating system and reference guide by early 2013. The U.S. Green Building Council, a stakeholder in the initiative, plans to incorporate the guidelines and performance benchmarks into future LEED rating systems.

|Astros | Scott Feldman so-so in start
Sun, 24 Apr 2016 22:51:54 -0700
Houston Astros SP Scott Feldman allowed five runs - three earned - and eight hits with four walks over 4 1/3 innings in a no-decision Sunday, April 24, against the Boston Red Sox.
Fantasy Tip: Feldman really struggled, throwing just 60 of his 103 pitches for strikes while recording just 13 outs. He is still worth using in AL-only play, deeper mixed formats and DFS, but he should be saved for more favorable matchups against lesser lineups.

|Astros | Houston's rotation competition
Thu, 03 Mar 2016 12:08:33 -0800
Houston Astros SPs Mike Fiers, Scott Feldman and Doug Fister are competing for the final two rotation spots this spring. Feldman and Fister are making a combined $15 million this year, which might make Fiers the odd-man out, even after he threw a no-hitter in 2015. Feldman's sprained right shoulder ended his 2015 season, but he said he's feeling better than ever this year.
Fantasy Tip: Fister's drop in velocity and inability to continue to induce plenty of ground balls hurts his fantasy value heading into 2016 in a much more dangerous hitter's park. Feldman's injuries make him even more of a risk. Fiers has the most upside of the bunch and is a late-round flier in deep mixed leagues for his strikeout abilities.

|Astros | Scott Feldman ready for spring training
Mon, 01 Feb 2016 14:12:15 -0800
Houston Astros SP Scott Feldman (shoulder) said he should be 100% when pitchers and catchers report to camp Thursday, Feb. 18. "Playing catch and throwing, I feel better than I have in years," Feldman added.
Fantasy Tip: Feldman is likely on the outside looking in at a rotation spot, and even should he be in the starting five, he is nothing more than a low-end option in AL-only and cavernous mixed leagues. Over the past three seasons, Feldman has a 3.83 ERA, a 4.13 FIP, a 1.25 WHIP and a 5.7 K/9, which hardly moves the fantasy needle.

|Astros | Scott Feldman rehab update
Sun, 24 Jan 2016 07:06:28 -0800
Houston Astros SP Scott Feldman (shoulder) said that he has been going through his normal offseason conditioning program. He has been playing catch for several weeks and is expected to resume throwing bullpen sessions early next month prior to the opening of spring training camp.
Fantasy Tip: Feldman, who went 5-5 with a 3.90 ERA in 18 starts last season, is recovering from a sprained right shoulder and also missed time in 2015 due to arthroscopic surgery on his right knee. He could be worth a late-round flier in AL-only and cavernous mixed leagues, although he is not guaranteed to begin the season in the starting rotation.

|Astros | Scott Feldman done for the year
Fri, 11 Sep 2015 10:35:16 -0700
Houston Astros SP Scott Feldman (shoulder) was diagnosed with a sprained right shoulder, and he'll be shut down for the rest of the season. Feldman will start his rehab that will extend into the offseason. The Astros hope he is ready to pitch next season.
Fantasy Tip: You can drop Feldman ($5,400, 10.8% of cap) in deep leagues if you still owned him. There's no guarantee he'll be in the rotation next year for the Astros, so he won't be a candidate to draft in shallow mixed leagues.

Fantasy Tip: Feldman ($5,700, 11.4% of cap) strung together a nice run in August with a 1.33 ERA over four starts, and he holds value in deeper seasonal leagues. Continue to monitor the situation and check back for an official word on what is next for the hurler.

|Astros | Scott Feldman to have MRI
Wed, 02 Sep 2015 09:13:23 -0700
Houston Astros SP Scott Feldman (shoulder) left the game with right shoulder pain in his start Tuesday, Sept. 1, after walking five hitters and allowing three runs in just 2 2/3 innings against the Seattle Mariners. He will undergo an MRI exam Wednesday, Sept. 2. Feldman was replaced in the game by SP Vincent Velasquez.
Fantasy Tip: Keep an eye on Feldman ($5,700, 11.4% of cap). He was having a fine August after returning from the DL, and he deserves to be owned in deeper leagues if his injury isn't serious. If he's forced to miss a start or two or go back on the DL, Velasquez ($5,200, 10.4% of cap) could take Feldman's rotation spot.

|Astros | Scott Feldman leaves start
Tue, 01 Sep 2015 20:10:41 -0700
Houston Astros SP Scott Feldman (shoulder) left his start Tuesday, Sept. 1, against the Seattle Mariners due to discomfort in his right shoulder.
Fantasy Tip: It's uncertain when Feldman ($5,700, 11.4% of cap) will be able to return. Avoid using him in FantasyScore until he can officially start and prove his health in a full game without any setbacks.

|Mariners | Logan Morrison out of Tuesday lineup
Tue, 01 Sep 2015 13:57:47 -0700
Seattle Mariners 1B Logan Morrison is not starting Tuesday, Sept. 1, against the Houston Astros. OF Mark Trumbo is in place of Morrison and batting seventh against Astros SP Scott Feldman.
Fantasy Tip: Morrison ($3,300, 6.6% of cap) drew the short straw with OF Franklin Gutierrez in the DH spot on Tuesday. Trumbo ($3,700, 7.4% of cap) is hitting .214 in the past week and has little FantasyScore value.

Encyclopedia of Jazz Musicians
Redman, Joshua
Joshua Redman, by Ron Hudson
Tenor saxophonist Joshua Redman arrived on the jazz scene in the early 1990s with a sound that is both refreshing and progressive. In only a few years, his prolific yet imaginative releases have helped him develop a distinctive musical profile. Most of his groups feature other young "lions" of his generation, such as pianist Brad Mehldau and drummer Brian Blade.
Redman was born on February 1st, 1969 in Berkeley, California. Redman's mother, Renee Shedroff, is of Jewish descent while his father, Dewey Redman, was a well respected African-American free-jazz tenor saxophonist. Redman grew up in California with his mother, where he started playing the saxophone at age ten. He attended both junior high school and high school in Berkeley County, and played saxophone in the Berkeley High jazz ensemble. Academically, Redman was a very strong student.
In 1987, Redman moved to Cambridge, Massachusetts to attend Harvard University. While there, he studied social sciences and obtained a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1991. Redman was accepted to law school at Yale University, but instead chose to take a year off and moved to New York City in the summer of 1991. While in New York City, Redman decided to forego law school and to pursue music professionally. This change in career paths was further cemented in November of 1991, when he won the annual Thelonious Monk competition.
Redman found steady work as a sideman, and in 1992 he made a memorable appearance on his father Dewey's 1992 album Choices. The jazz world was abuzz with anticipation when the time came for Josh's first release as a leader. His 1993 Warner Brothers CD, Joshua Redman, established him as a musician with his own identity and room to move. On the release, Redman teamed up with bassist Christian McBride, drummer Greg Hutchinson, pianist Kevin Hays, and drummer Kenny Washington. It featured several of Redman's original compositions as well as his take on such jazz standards as "Body and Soul" and Dizzy Gillespie's "Salt Peanuts."
Redman quickly followed this with his second release, Wish. On this album, Redman fused his talents with three well-known and respected musicians; guitarist Pat Metheny, drummer Billy Higgins, and bassist Charlie Haden. The album featured several of Redman's original songs including "Soul Dance." The album also featured covers of Stevie Wonder's "Make Sure You're Sure" and Eric Clapton's "Tears In Heaven." The album featured ten cuts, eight of which were tracked in the studio and two, "Wish" and "Blues for Pat," were recorded live at the Village Vanguard in New York City.
The saxophonist released his third album for Warner Brothers in 1994, entitled Moodswing. This album featured some of jazz music's most promising and rising talent, drummer Brian Blade and pianist Brad Mehldau, along with Christian McBride on bass. This release captured a very lively, active, and swinging rhythm section which rivaled any section playing at the time.
Also in 1994, Redman appeared on harmonica player Toots Thielmans' East Coast West Coast. Redman can be heard on John Coltrane's "Naima," along with John Scofield on guitar, Lyle Mays on piano, and Christian McBride on bass.
In 1995, Redman toured in support of Moodswing and during the week of March 21st, recorded his quartet during their engagement at the Village Vanguard. Featured in Redman's quartet were pianist Peter Martin, bassist Christopher Thomas, and drummer Brian Blade. The recorded culminated in the Warner Brothers release Spirit of the Moment: Live at the Village Vanguard, which include Sonny Rollins's "St. Thomas" and "My One and Only Love." Also in 1995, Redman appeared on tenor saxophonist Marc Turner's debut album Mark Turner and a fascinating counterpoint between the tenor stylists can be heard on the song "317 East 32nd Street," an homage to pianist Lennie Tristano and tenor saxophonist Warne Marsh.
Redman's next album, Freedom in the Groove, featured Brian Blade on drums, Peter Bernstein on guitar, and Christopher Thomas on bass. This album marked a departure for the tenor saxophonist. This album focused very heavily on funk and R&B and also served as the platform for Redman's debut on alto saxophone. The addition of Bernstein's guitar helped to open up the work of the rhythm section and provided a more cohesive foundation for Redman.
In 1998, Redman recorded his sixth album for Warner Brothers, the aptly titled Timeless Tale (For Changing Times). This album featured Redman along with pianist Brad Mehldau, bassist Larry Grenadier, and drummer Brian Blade reinterpreting classic songs in the American songbook. The quartet is heard on such songs as George Gershwin's "Summertime." In 2000, Redman released his seventh album for Warner Brothers, entitled Beyond. The songs featured on this album were all composed by Redman. The album explored many different facets including time changes and different melodic structures. It featured pianist Aaron Goldberg, bassist Reuben Rogers, and drummer Greg Hutchinson.
In 2001, Redman released Passage of Time, which featured the same lineup as Beyond. In 2002, he released his most exploratory album for Warner Brothers, Elastic, which was also his last for the label. The album showcased the saxophonist along with keyboardist Sam Yahel and drummer Brian Blade. The album was interesting because the trio used a system of bass loops when recording and touring for the album. Redman also played a significant amount of keyboards on the record, on tracks which include "Jazz Crimes" and "News from the Front."
In 2004, Redman began an affiliation with the San Francisco Jazz Collective. The group chooses a jazz composer and performs works of this artist throughout the United States and the rest of the world. Redman worked as artistic director for the group until 2007.
In 2005, Redman released his first album for Nonesuch Records entitled Momentum. This album was based on the same foundation laid down by Redman's previous release. It featured Yahel on keyboards, Jeff Ballard and Brian Blade on drums, and special guests Flea from the Red Hot Chili Peppers on bass and Questlove, from the hip-hop band the Roots, on drums. In 2007, Nonesuch released its second album by Redman, Back East. The album represents another experiment for the saxophonist. It was his first album recorded with just bass and drums. It featured many of the usual suspects found on his previous releases plus special guests saxophonist Joe Lovano and his father Dewey, who passed away not long after its release.
Today, Redman lives in the San Francisco area with his wife. He has also performed music to the soundtracks of several Clint Eastwood movies including Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil and Space Cowboys.

Fish, stay, and play.
Need a little something different for your next getaway? Try a trip to the San Juan River Valley of Northwestern New Mexico for some fishing and exploring.
New Mexico's small towns of Aztec and Farmington may not be much compared to the typical vacation spot, but the beautiful San Juan river flowing nearby makes visiting the area worth while.
The San Juan River is one of the finest quality fisheries in America and fly fishers flock here like bees to honey to land, or attempt to land, trout after trout. 80,000 or so feisty trout swim through the 4.25 miles of the San Juan below the Navajo Dam tempting anglers all year long. San Juan trout are known for their heft, running an average of 17 inches.
For setting up fishing guide services or getting the latest fishing report contact Born "N" Raised on the San Juan, 505-632-2194.
Beside the nearby fishing, Farmington is central to a number of cultural locales including Mesa Verde, Chaco Canyon, Aztec Ruins National Monument, and Shiprock Pinnacle. The area is also awash with trading posts and shops highlighting works from local Indian artists.
After a day on the water, you won't have to travel too far for a cozy place to stay. Farmington's Casa Blanca Inn is luxury and is especially nice after a day of exploration or a day of catching trout on the San Juan. Rooms are decorated with attention to detail from the sheets, the hand carved furniture, to the decor. Attention to detail doesn't stop with the rooms. Casa Blanca's acre of gardens are exquisite and are perfect for relaxing in the San Juan sunshine. Casa Blanca is known as the finest lodging in the entire Four Corners area.
Dallasites can fly into Albuquerque and drive the remaining 180 or so miles into the Farmington area along US-550.

College Hockey:CC Sweeps Minnesota
First Sweep for Tigers Since October
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — It took an unlikely opponent, but the Colorado College Tigers finally swept a series again, as they beat the University of Minnesota Golden Gophers 5-3 Saturday night.
The sweep was the first for the Tigers since October 17/18, when they swept Michigan Tech University.
"It feels good for our team because we haven't done that in the league, but it's so difficult to go 4-0 in points in a weekend," said CC coach Scott Owens. "Nobody hardly does it so for us, we're in third place right now."
Despite Minnesota getting the majority of chances to start the game, it was the Tigers who got on the board first with a power-play goal 9:15 into the first period. Nate Prosser's slap shot from the point found its way to the back of the net behind a screened Alex Kangas (14 saves).
The Gophers finally capitalized on one of their myriad chances about two minutes later to tie it up while short-handed when Ryan Stoa skated down and beat Tigers' goaltender Richard Bachman (34 saves) short-side
It appeared as if Minnesota went up 2-1 about a minute later on a power-play goal, but the go-ahead goal was waived off due to it being kicked into the net.
"It was a close call on the replay," said Gophers' coach Don Lucia. "I knew it was kicked; I just didn't know if [Patrick White] touched it as it went over the line and they made the call."
The second period started similarly to the first, again with the Gophers getting the better chances, yet the Tigers scored first. Mike Testwuide skated down the far-side boards, cut towards the net and roofed the puck top corner glove side on Kangas about 7:30 in.
However, the Gophers tied it up once again on a power-play goal with 7:18 to play in the frame when Jay Barriball's shot from the top of the left circle dribbled in past Bachman.
"The guys between the second and third period were not sure what to expect or what to think because it was 2-2 but we weren't really playing well and they were taking the play to us," said Owens. "I just said hey, let's put together a final good 20 minutes and if we can put together a strong 20 minutes, a good, team-oriented 20 minutes of play, and the bench came alive."
Owens' pep talk worked, as CC started off the scoring in the third period 2:08 in when Brian McMillin skated down the far-side boards and put a shot past Kangas from near the goal line.
Minnesota tied it up a third time to make it 3-3 about 3:30 later when Cade Fairchild one-timed a pass from Patrick White from the top of the circles past Bachman.
"It was almost like we get that tying goal and we kind of sat back on our heels and say okay, let's weather the storm now instead of sticking with what got us there, which was playing on our toes and playing aggressive," said Fairchild. "I think we just needed to stay aggressive after we tied it up and not make mistakes, which we did."
Mistakes including one Fairchild himself admits he made by letting the Tigers take the lead back once again when Stephen Schultz tipped in a Brian Connelly shot past Kangas.
"We got traffic in front of Kangas, puck bounced out and I was going to the net and just tapped it in," said Schultz.
Scott McCulloch sealed the victory and the sweep for the Tigers by putting them up 5-3 with 1:01 remaining in the game with a short-handed empty-net goal.
"I thought we played great in the third period," said Owens. "I thought we played like we had no on-ice chemistry issues in the third period. I thought the whole team contributed. We were bending but we weren't breaking in the first two periods."
"Our guys played hard, they played well; outshoot somebody 2-1 and probably out-chance them; it's just kind of how it's gone for us," said Lucia.

Gonna let Michelle take the mic again. Go in, Michelle, go in!!!!
"Few albums in recent memory have provided fans and listeners with more media content than Bisco Smith's The Broadcast. As both an MC and accomplished graphic artist – creating artwork for the likes of RJD2, El-P, Aesop Rock, and more – in addition to a bevy of singles, The Broadcast has allowed Bisco to deliver a series of remixes, all of which he created original artwork for, as well as the recently released video for "Vibrations," for which Bisco crafted the graphics for the video. Now, Bisco Smith is pleased to release The Broadcast's final remix effort, "Time Zones," remixed by producer and long-time collaborator Cassettes Won't Listen. CWL and Bisco Smith, who have collaborated regularly for nearly a decade, came together for the original version of "Time Zones" as CWL performed the track's unsettling sung vocals. For the remix, the two reconvened, and as Bisco explains, "J.Vegus, the track's original producer, and I thought CWL would be the icing on the cake to produce the remix; it worked out perfectly."
With an edgier feel than the original, as well as prior singles from The Broadcast, the remix steadily builds as pulsing drums and driving piano lines set the stage for hypnotic, effects saturated electric guitar riffs to push the song forward. Although less forceful and effect oriented than the original, the track's rhythm remains commanding with verses rearranged and echoing sampled vocals over the chorus adding to the more prevalent rock elements of the track. The chorus cuts to guitar and sporadic drums as an echoing Bisco raps, "I got my eye on this clock / Keep watching time / These days seem crazy / We lost our mind / Full speed ahead while it passes by / Twenty-four seven / Three six five." Fixated on time, Bisco's lines mimic the pace of the track to maximize each instant, resulting in another outstanding and boundary pushing effort from Bisco's latest, The Broadcast.
Look out for Bisco Smith and CWL's next project, Freeze Tag, hitting the airwaves soon."

Comments about Venice Destination City Map:
Durable, waterproof material and good textual information and useful airport map on the back, but lacks some detail compared to the Rough Guide map. It names less small streets (calle), doesn't identify eating places, doesn't provide an inset for the island of Burano nor the main Stazione Marittima / Tronchetto area, doesn't show waterbus (vaporetto) routes on the main map, and where it does show them (separate map on the back), the route numbers are obsolete. It's OK but you would be better off with the Rough Guide map if you want to wander the back streets and want to know exactly where you are! (But note: Rough Guide's vaporetto route numbers are obsolete also).
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Obama Clinton Logo courtesy of Facebook Group Obama-Clinton 2012.
Former Virginia Governor Doug Wilder recently put forth the notion of an Obama-Clinton 2012 ticket. What does this mean for everyone? A no-contest landslide win. Again. Obama having Clinton as his VP would be a political powerhouse that would reform the political landscape, and from 2012-2016 we would have significant progress, on all fronts.
Consider the facts that our current President, Barack Obama, has accomplished more in his one year and seven months in office than most Presidents do in an entire term. He brought about the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act to repair the economy, it's working. Slowly, but steadily it's working. He reformed Health Care, the biggest reform in the past seventy years. He passed his financial reform bill, giving us the biggest financial system overhaul since the New Deal. He's set us on the path of troop withdrawal from Iraq. He has repaired America's image across the world, so we are no longer seen as the big bully who goes to war with whoever they please for whatever paltry resources are there. He was the first President of the United States to preside over a meeting of the United Nations Security Council. He is a President of Firsts though. Most argue that he never had enough experience in the beginning to be President. Well, in 2012, will he have enough experience then, having been President for four years?
Some still argue that no, he won't ever have enough experience. Nothing Obama does is good enough for those people though. Most of those people are conservative right wingers who fail to acknowledge that half of Obama's achievements were formerly proposed by Republicans. They're only mad now because they can't claim credit for it.
For those, consider Hillary Clinton. She is also a woman of firsts. Many of her achievements begin with 'First woman to' and end with something quite admirable. She was twice considered one of the Top 100 Most Influential Lawyers in the country. She was first Lady of Arkansas for nearly ten years, and can claim credit for a large amount of the reform that Arkansas received during Bill Clinton's time as Governor. She was also First Lady of the United States for eight years, performing many diplomatic duties and pushing for Health Care herself, which indeed did fail, but nonetheless she was a huge advocate for it. Add on to her eight years as a Senator for New York, and now her experience as Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton makes her possiblity as 2012 Vice Presidential nominee a great possibility.The woman speaks to the working middle class, and would bring back the alienated independents who feel that Obama is too far right, or too far left. She would definitely make a better Vice President than Sarah Palin.
The Obama-Clinton ticket is a much better alternative to some of the Republican rumor tickets going around... Romney-Crist, wouldn't be as good as Obama-Clinton, however, it would be a great deal better than Palin-Bachmann.
There's a group on Facebook currently dedicated to an Obama-Clinton ticket, and you can find them here.
Imagine the mountains that can be moved with Obama and Clinton in office. Hillary would then be perfectly positioned to run for President as the first female in 2016.

After an off-season of trades that only added to the talent pool of the NHL's Western Conference, the Central division looks to be the place where the best hockey will be played in the 2014-15 season. With players like Thomas Vanek, Jason Spezza, and Brad Richards joining the already deep group of all-star players that reside in the Central division, it looks as if the road to the Stanley Cup WILL go through a Central contender.
Last season, both wild card playoff spots went to Central division teams with, Dallas and Minnesota joining Chicago, St. Louis and last year's division winner Colorado in the playoffs. Chicago would ultimately have the best run of the 5 teams, falling in 7 games in the Western Conference Final to eventual Cup Champions, the L.A. Kings.
The 2014-15 season will see Paul Statsny move from Colorado to St. Louis, Thomas Vanek join the Minnesota Wild, Jason Spezza head south to Dallas and Brad Richards join the Chicago Blackhawks, just to name a few moves made to deepen the talent pool of the Central division. Not to mention Nashville adding key role players to their roster like Derek Roy and Olli Jokinen, and Winnipeg adding Mathieu Perreault the Central was full of buyers this off-season which will provide amazing hockey all year.
Prediction -
7) Winnipeg 6) Dallas 5) Nashville 4) Minnesota 3) Colorado 2) St. Louis 1) Chicago
With Brad Richards shoring up the 2nd line Center position for the Blackhawks, even just for this season, will be enough of a boost both offensively and defensively for Chicago to make it to the top of the Division.

Want a proven formula for burning 300 calories more per day? Grab your walking shoes and a pedometer. That's all it takes, say a group of Stanford scientists who analyzed more than 25 different studies on the surprisingly powerful power of pedometers for weight loss.
On average, say the researchers, people who wear pedometers walk an extra mile daily, motivated by those little step calculators zooming upwards as the scale dips downward.
In the Stanford study, participants walked 27 percent more while losing weight and improving their blood pressure. So what does it take to see real results? Another study showed that 10,000 steps is the magic number, which results in about 300 calories more burned per day, depending on your height, weight and body build.
Our tips for pedometers follow:
- Easy to use, sturdy and inexpensive: Omron HJ-112 Digital Pocket Pedometer (click for details).
- Another winner for ease of use and effectiveness: Omron HJ-321 Tri-Axis Pedometer, Black (click for more information).

Cabbie Update
What is the Cabbie Update? Well, in Las Vegas, many of the clubs pay cabbies to bring customers to their door, so in many instances, when you ask, "So, what's the best club to go to?", you might
not be getting an answer based on the truth. This section will keep you updated on what the cabbies get paid to bring you to a particular club. The following is the per head rate the club offers the
cabbies. Also check out my cabbie rant in my 2 cents section. If you have any updates or corrections, please send them to LMR.
Las Vegas Strip Club Review got mentioned in Las Vegas City Life! Read Steve Sebelius' article about Cabbie Spiff's.
What the cabbie gets paid to bring you there:
Thee Place $25
Hide N Seek $25
Can Can Room $20
Forbidden Club $12 first trip, $15 second trip.
Cheetahs $10
Deja Vu $10
Lil' Darlings $10
Pussycat Theater $10
Spearmint Rhino $10
StripTease $10
Wild J's $10
Club Paradise free passes to cabbies to sell for $5 or $10.
The Palomino gives out a raffle ticket worth $2 to $250 in a monthly drawing to the cabbies instead of cash.
Glitter Gulch offers $1000 to any cabbie that mentions Glitter Gulch to a mystery rider every day.
The remainder of the clubs either pay $5 or less or don't pay the cabbies at all.

The Daily Writing Sample: A 'Scraggly Expression of Time'
This WS comes to us via Howard Bashman at How Appealing.
In a dissent Tuesday, Judge Neil M. Gorsuch of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 10th Circuit let loose his inner grammarian on sentencing guidelines for defendants who illegally re-enter the country after being deported.
He wrote,
In the richness of the English language, few things can create as much mischief as piling prepositional phrase upon prepositional phrase. The child says, "I saw the man on the hill with the telescope." Did the child use the telescope to see the man on the hill? Or did the child see a man — or even a hill — bearing a telescope? A newspaper headline heralds, "Brothers Reunited after 20 Years on a Roller Coaster." Did the brothers recently bump into each other at an amusement park? Or were they the long suffering experimental subjects of some evil genius?
Of course, we're all guilty of venial syntactical sins. And our federal government can claim no exception. Which takes us to USSG § 2L1.2(b)(1) and this jumble of prepositional phrases — If the defendant previously was deported, or unlawfully remained in the United States, after —
(A) a conviction for a felony that is (i) a drug trafficking offense for which the sentence imposed exceeded thirteen months . . . [add a sentencing enhancement].
This has to be a sentence only a grammar teacher could love. We have here our old nemesis the passive voice, followed by a scraggly expression of time ("previously . . .after"), then a train of prepositional phrases linked one after another and themselves rudely interrupted by a pair of parenthetical punctuations. Happily, our role isn't to grade the grammar, only discern the meaning.

In the Youngstown mayoral race, Democrat John A. McNally IV outraised DeMaine Kitchen nearly 5-to-1 during the pre-general -election filing period.
Candidates running in the Nov. 5 general election had until Thursday to file campaign finance reports for either June 8 (for those who ran in the May primary) or July 1 (for those who didn't) and Oct. 16.
During that time, McNally raised $55,305 in campaign contributions compared with $11,810 for Kitchen, an independent candidate who serves as the mayor's chief of staff/secretary.
Kitchen also received $5,250 in in-kind contributions to pay for billboards and a payment to Keynote Media, a Youngstown company handling his campaign's advertising and public relations.
Kitchen came into this filing period with $143 in his campaign fund, while McNally, a former Mahoning County commissioner and Youngstown law director, had $28,002 in his war chest, left over from his 142-vote victory over Youngstown Council President Jamael Tito Brown in the Democratic primary in May.
McNally raised $131,854 in that primary compared with $41,096 for Brown.
McNally picked up where he left off with the $55,305 he raised between June 8 and Oct. 16. That amount is more than any other candidate running for office in Mahoning County.
McNally also spent more than any other candidate in the county, using $50,336 of his campaign money in the pre-general-election period primarily for radio and television commercials, yard signs and mailers sent to the homes of city residents.
In comparison, Kitchen spent $11,204, most of it for billboards and for Keynote.
As of Oct. 16, McNally had $33,310 to spend compared with $749 for Kitchen.
Meanwhile, the United Association of Plumbers and Pipefitters Local Union 396 of Boardman, the organization funding the effort to defeat the anti-fracking charter amendment in Youngstown, spent $74,449 between June 8 and Oct. 16.
The money goes toward media advertisements, campaign mail and telephone calls in an effort to defeat the amendment.
Under state law, corporations or labor organizations that support or oppose ballot issues can file what is called "independent expenditures" reports that list only how much is spent.
In comparison, the Community Bill of Rights Committee, the lead group supporting the ban, raised $2,329 and spent $693 between June 8 and Oct. 16.
A similar Youngstown charter amendment was defeated in the May primary, 56.85 percent to 43.15 percent.
In the primary, the union spent $60,767 compared with $7,502 for the anti-fracking committee.
Judging by the amount of yard signs I see in Youngstown -- FOR SALE is winning in a landslide.
auther50 now that is just too funny. Thanks for the levity.
Pretty good - I must admit.
I am voting for FOR SALE! Well known! Needs very little campaign funds, no baggage, no questionable reputation to deal with, no whining & lying to the voters.... no clergy whining about campaign funds. The only association FOR SALE has is with the county and then only by a parcel number. GO FOR SALE! BIG WINNER! Bring it in! Forget the rest !
I've never seen a posting, an invitation, a fundraising dinner, etc for Kitchen.

Two turtles with one shot
I photographed these turtles about 10 days ago in Lake Artemesia in College Park, Maryland. The one on the left is an eastern painted turtle, (Chrysemys picta picta), while the one on the right is a red-eared slider (Trachemys scripta elegans). The piece of log they were on is a favorite basking spot of the turtles in the lake, for I often see at least one on it.
Although one is tempted to think that the ancestors of extant turtles were aquatic and that some of their descendants evolved to become terrestrial, a recent study suggests the opposite. Joyce & Gauthier1 demonstrated that extant turtles have different forelimb morphologies depending on whether they are aquatic or terrestrial (shorter hands on land for walking, longer hands in water for swimming). When they applied this analysis to the forelimbs of two of the closest extinct relatives of turtles, the results indicated that the earliest turtles were land animals.

If you suffer from an autoimmune disease, you know how it can impact every aspect of your life. And Sarah D. Ballantyne, Ph.D, knows as well: She fought her own battle with that condition. Now she's sharing how she reversed her autoimmune disease and healed her body with the Paleo diet, which can also help you effortlessly lose weight. It's all detailed in her new book: "The Paleo Approach: Reverse Autoimmune Disease and Heal Your Body" (click for details).
"The most profound way that a Paleo diet can help those suffering from autoimmune disease is by addressing micronutrient deficiencies that are contributing to immune dysfunction," Sarah told us in an exclusive interview.
"The immune system requires a vast array of micronutrients (vitamins, minerals and antioxidants) in order to function properly, including many that tend to be very deficient in the typical Western diet (like vitamin A, vitamin D, copper, selenium, and zinc)."
Because the Paleo diet is "much more nutrient-dense diet than the typical Western diet," those following it "are consuming enough of the vital nutrients that the immune system needs to function normally."
Sarah gives the following examples:
- Selenium deficiency has been linked to autoimmune thyroid disorders, pemphigus vulgaris and lichen planus. By eating plenty of seafood (which is selenium-rich), the Paleo diet corrects selenium deficiencies.
- Vitamin A deficiency has been linked to alopecia areata and multiple sclerosis. By including food sources of retinoic acid (the animal form of vitamin A), like seafood and organ meat, the Paleo diet corrects vitamin A deficiencies.
- The Paleo diet is also a diet that includes a healthy ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 polyunsaturated fats, which is required for the immune system to function efficiently and normally.
- Supplementation with fish oil to bring omega-6 to omega-3 ratios into balance has been shown to be beneficial in rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel diseases, systemic lupus erythematosus, and multiple sclerosis.
- By cutting back on food sources of omega-6s while eating grass-fed and pasture-raised meat as budget allows as well as seafood, the Paleo diet is naturally balanced in omega-6 to omega-3 intake (no fish oil supplements required!).
- The Paleo diet can further help regulate the immune system because it avoids foods that contain compounds known to stimulate the immune system and foods known to contribute to gut dysbiosis (where the wrong kinds or numbers of microorganisms are growing in the wrong parts of the digestive tract), which itself can lead to immune dysfunction.
Sarah based her recommendations in her book "from hundreds of clinical trials and basic science research that evaluate the effect of single components in foods, isolated nutrients, and isolated hormones, each on the functioning of the immune system or on specific individual autoimmune diseases."
She notes that "clinical trials using a paleo diet to reverse multiple sclerosis are ongoing but the early data is extremely exciting."
Sarah emphasizes that the key to her approach to the Paleo diet "is nutrient density." You'll learn how to regulate your immune and hormone systems, while "fostering digestive health, all through a nutrient-dense diet and constructive lifestyle changes."
As far as weight loss: "One very handy side-effect of doing these things is that people who are overweight tend to lose weight (without additional effort or modifications)," she says.
You can learn more about "The Paleo Approach: Reverse Autoimmune Disease and Heal Your Body," including how to order it, by clicking here.
Worth noting: The book contains a preface by Robb Wolf, the iconic Paleo diet author of "The Paleo Solution: The Original Human Diet" (click for details).

My hobbies aren't exactly green. I like fast computers and fast cars, both of which don't scrimp on consuming power in the form of electricity or gas. If you prefer to be green in your computer use, NEC has a new display for you.
The display is LED backlit and is called the MultiSync EA222WMe. The display has the same brightness as other displays while consuming 20% less power. The screen uses 52% less power than previous generation NEC displays and produces 61% less heat.
The display is ENERGY STAR 5.0, TCO 5.0 and EPEAT Gold compliant. The screen resolution is 1680 x 1050 and the LCD has a 30,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio. The screen brightness is 250 cd/m2 and the display has a 4-way ergonomic stand.

Side Dishes... I guess there are a couple of ways to think of side dishes. Some are everyday, some are for more indulgent meals (Christmas, Thanksgiving, new Mother-in-Law coming to dinner). This is a bit indulgent, a bit rich, perfect as a "Top Five" indulgent side dish. It's the heavy cream.
But I've also made this with some whole milk and it also tastes rich, thick and a bit indulgent... Even slimmed down.
It also features some surprise zingy extras. Minced peppers (make em as hot or as mild as you like... jalepenos work nicely, poblanos add a mild taste with beautiful contrasting deep green color... Try a mix of some red bell peppers and those deep forest green Poblanos for an additional holiday look. Crushed red pepper flakes also add lots of punch. As always, season to taste.
Here's what I did...
4 Sweet Potatoes, peeled, sliced about 1/4th inch thick
1 cup Half and Half (or Heavy Cream)
1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese plus 1/4 cup to add as topping
1/2 cup sliced scallions (Green parts as well as the bulbs)
3 cloves Garlic, smashed and minced
2 Peppers, minced (Mild Poblano or bell peppers or spicy Jalapenos to taste)
1 tsp Crushed Red Pepper Flakes
- In a heavy pan, mix everything except the sweet potatoes. Bring to simmer, allow to simmer for 20 minutes for the flavors to evenly mix
- Grease a 9X9 baking dish
- Begin layering the potatoes and the cream mix, alternating. Should get three or four layers
- Top with all of the remaining mix, and then the final sprinkling of Parmesan cheese
- Bake uncovered in a 375 degree oven for 50 minutes.
They go GREAT as a side dish with one of my wife's favorite meals... Cajun Garlic Aioli Sweet Corn, this Sweet Potato Gratin and a 4 cheese stuffed Blackened Pork Chop, All of which will be among my "Top Five dishes!!!
