that is open to each and every player whenever it is not occupied for team practices.
We offer a variety of private hitting, pitching, catching and fielding lessons.
We are currently working to develop our program and teams so that our players can continue to grow and play together for seasons to come.
For our 10u team we are looking for solid, dedicated players born in 2002 with consideration being given to strong players born in 2003.
Our 10u team is in need of experienced bracket pitchers and various infielders.
For our 12u team we are looking for dedicated players born in 2001.
Our 12u team is in need of left side infielders and catchers.
All players regardless of age must be willing to work and put forth the effort to grow and mature with the game.
If you are someone you know are interested they can contact the program coordinator (Corey Houghton) at 832-217-5048 or at firstname.lastname@example.com

Topic: doctor section
While in the shower thinking about cc (doesnt everyone?), I thought of all the hurdles we face. One of the biggest is its rarity and that many doctors dont have experience with it. That people who do have experience, might only have a couple of patients and not really enough "research" to write a paper for the big journals, but good and bad experiences that add to the general knowledge. Wouldnt it be great if this board had a section for doctors only (password protected so we patients couldnt see) where doctors could ask each other questions and share experiences that would help others. perhaps there is already a community for them? I dont know, but if not, I think there needs to be one.
I know this site focuses on patients and carers, but we all need knowledgable doctors. I think it would be great if they had a place where they could interact and throw ideas off of each other. Just a thought....

Currently the attachment upload capacity is 256kb which is Ok for most stuff I guess, however I wonder if it may be increased slightly maybe to 600kb?
The reason for this is that with a recent document I uploaded I had to split it in half. I don`t envisage myself or anyone else wanting to upload 'massive' documents but the little extra capacity would help. It would save a lot of editing photo's , text etc in word docs to send to pdf.
Of course after zipping these up it does compress them but I still found on these quite small docs they were still too large!
Not sure whether this is possible - it may be a limit of phpBB or of course it may be your restriction because of your storage space, if it is then fair enougth - its accepted.

Jerry McKenzie is a reclusive and antisocial artist, quite content to ride his horses and work in his studio, keeping to himself. It's not any kind of life for a child, and when Jerry finds out he's been named his orphaned nephew's guardian, he panics. He doesn't know what to do with a child and isn't sure he can give William the affection and the love the boy so desperately needs.
Then Jerry meets David Loewenberger, the new teacher William becomes immediately attached to, and he starts to see how they could make a family together: a family to replace the one William lost, a family David had given up on ever finding... a family Jerry never knew he wanted.

"Great Find"
This is the first of a three book series. I love Jerry and David and am now reading the 2nd book, as it is not out on audio yet. This is a very sweet story of family and what that means and the sex is pretty hot. It is not great writing, but a solid romantic story. Although it did get a little weak at the end. I thought the premise of the "break up" was a little lame and the reaction sort of out of proportion. But there is a HEA, so that is what is important. Sean Crisden does an outstanding job as usually and is definitely worth a credit. Actually I only bought it b/c Sean Crisden was the narrator, so I'm glad it worked out OK..
"deffinitely reccomend"
I liked this story alot esp. with the little boy in felt so sorry for him. Loving the narrator bigtime listened to several books from him
"Good story , Wonderful narrator"
The love story is beautiful , more so when is so wonderfully narrated by Sean Crisden
"Wonderful Narration"
I thoroughly enjoyed this audio book. The narration was wonderful. Sean Crisden should narrate more often! The story flowed nicely with a slight lull towards the middle. But I would definitely recommend.
River On The Edge
"Likeable but very flawed."
A tiresome and unnecessary amount of sex and dirty talk. When I thought one sex scene was finally over, the next chapter had another. The main conflict between the main characters did not make any sense to me. They broke up suddenly and I really have no ideas why. And, the homophobic antagonists who are are the source of almost all the conflict are conveniently swept away with almost no explanation except a suggestion one character's father (who also appears suddenly) did something. A weak story.
I really enjoy the world of books! Narration just add layers to that world... don't u think? :)
"I like but I won't listen to again"
THis was a good story, but after finishing it, I don't think I will ever listen to it again. Kinda bored! I like stories that make me want to listen over and over...
Wait for a sale, then get this.. Don't waste a credit.
"Genre Disapointment"
Soething like the Great Expectations of Dickns which I purchased recently
Didnt like the script at all, too banal.
nothing to do with a specific character
Gay romance as a genre is a difficult one, that usually runs to the banality of script where the only thrill appears merely in its sexual descriptions down the road. This book sins to this point exactly. And the performance is also not so interesting.
But that is only my own opinion.
I am an avid audio book listener. I have over 340 in my library and re-listen to them until I know my favorites by heart.
"A very good love story"
This story is a well read easy listen. While there are a few parts that are slow, it moves along nicely. The love story is beautiful and very easy to listen to. The vocals are well done and it is easy to discern between characters. I could understand all of the spoken words. I enjoy this genre so much more than straight love stories and this is one that speaks to my heart.
"The story is there but overshadowed by sex scenes"
Cowboy teacher orphan
More of the story and less detailed sex
I could relate to the teacher (being one) the other languages sounded good and believable to me (not that I speak any), the emotions tended to be realistic too.
I listened to the book in sittings, I tended to listen on the drive to work /home
The opening starts quiet different to the rest of the book, give yourself some time to get into the story / wait till in the USA .

How Per-Capitas Are Made Dixon (Char-Koosta): Nobody will take the Kerr Dam rent adjustment per capita checks for granted—its hard to snort at $2,000. However, many tribal members may not know how much work is involved in getting the money processed and mailed The checks, which will be mailed out on the 24th of this month, came from a lump of $11,249,913.81 paid by Montana Power to the tribe in July. The U.S. Supreme Court had ruled the utility owed the tribe the money for increased rent on the Kerr dam site going back to 1959. The precent setting court battles which resulted in the rent increase started in 1966 when the Federal Power Commission upped the annual rent $711,625—but that is all history. Right now the Tribal Headquarters in Dixon is busily converting one large check (now to over $11,300,000 from interest) into 5,681 per-capita checks. According to Tribal Treasurer Ruby Christopher, the process of paying out per capita dividends starts with the tribal roll books. New members have to be added and addresses have to be updated. Mrs. Christopher says this is an ongoing process but that many people do a great deal of moving around and current addresses have to be double checked. After the rolls are brought up to date and there is a pretty good idea of how many members are eligible for the dividends, the enrollment is divided into the lump sum to determine how much money each member will receive. In this case the Tribal Council decided to pay each member an even $2,000 which may mean that there could be a little left over or some money might have to be taken from the General Fund to make up the difference. Next, tribal credit, tribal court and federal offices are notified about the payment and asked to post claims on out standing debts. These claims are entered in the payroll book (cont. on page 8) Council Condemns Indian Protests .. mrt m. -,--------..i his mo Dixon (Char-Koosta): The Tribal Council of the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes voted last Friday to authorize a statement concerning the activities of Indian at Bureau of Indian Affairs Headquarters in Washington, D.C. and else where in the country. The motion to send out a press release on the tribe's position as offered by Councilman Fred Whitworth, Arlee, stated 'The Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes do not support and never authorized anyone to represent them during the demonstrations which have taken place during the past weeks." v v i i i U»l tion the release should not only be sent to local newspapers but also to the Congressional Delegation and the President of the United States. The motion carried unanimously. Councilmen Pat Left-hand, Elmo, and Tom "Bear-head Swaney, St. Ignatius, were absent from the meeting. Salish, Kootenai, Pend 'd Orielles Tribes KOOSTA Volume 2, Number 14 Elders Drop Education & Employment Dixon (Char-Koosta): In a squeaker vote last Friday, the Tribal Council abandoned its plans to take over the BIA offices of Education Specialist and Employment Assistance Officer. The four to three vote Friday rescinded resolution 4311 passed September I which • started a series of negotiations between the tribe and the Bureau of Indian Affairs which would have resulted in the assumption of the two offices under contract. The contract, as explained Friday by Albert Renne,Reservation Administrative Officer, would have turned the BIA budget for the offices over to the tribe but would have kept ultimate responsibility for the administration of the offices with BIA. He said the contract would have been mutually revokable. The motion to break off the negotiations was offered by Jim Ely, Ronan, (who was absent when the proposal was first made) and was seconded by Councilman Fred Whitworth (who voted against the negotia- (cont: on page II) MOON OF AUTUMN 17 PRICE 10c Valley Unit Will Be Sold At Oral Auction Dixon (Char-Koosta): The 36,326 acre, 81.3 million board foot Valley Logging Unit will be opened to oral bid auction January 12,1973. The Tribal Council decided Friday to open the Valley Unit to oral auction because this system provides a greater leverage in obtaining the highest possible bid. Bureau of Indian Affairs Forester Bob Miller explained that the tribe will not be committed to accept either the high bid or be compelled to negotiate with the high bidder under the ground rules of oral auction. The Valley Unit, which is located south of Dixon atop the Valley and Revaise Creek drainages, is the largest proposed cut in the history of the reservation. Of the 36,326 acreas of forest within the boundaries of the unit, only 19,380 will be cut during the eight year program. The remaining 17,000 acres, according to Miller, will be left standing to provide recreational lands, game ranges and upper water-shed storage. The Council also opened the five million board Toot Kashua Peak Logging Unit to Indian preference bids. This 740 acre unit is to processed under a new "commercial thinning" program which is designed to contribute both to forest management and the tribal coffers. Currently, a commercial thinning operation is being completed on the dry forks salvage unit above Hot Springs by tribal member logger LeRoy O'Bennick. The Council decided Friday to break the nearly 50 million board foot Hot Springs Unit into three smaller packages. The split, as approved by the Council, would make one 25 million board foot unit and two 12 and one half million board foot units. The two smaller units, by Council Action, would be given Indian preference Lucy Pellow Finley Arlee (Char-Koosta): One of the four remaining "children of the Bitterroot"—Salish Indians born in the Bitterroot Valley, the tribe's traditional homeland, before Chief Chariot and his band moved to the Flathead in 1891—is dead.

George Strait is getting ready to ride off into the sunset.
The cowboy crooner just has to finish up his lengthy farewell tour, which touches down Thursday at the SAP Center in San Jose, and then he says he'll hang up the saddle for good.
But what a legacy.
He'll leave us having notched more No. 1 singles and albums than any other act in country music history. And that's just one of the reasons why Strait, above all others, has earned the title of "The King of Country Music."
"You have the Willie Nelsons and Merle Haggards -- people with long careers," says Michael McCall, writer-editor at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum in Nashville. "But they don't have 30 years of top 10 hits."
Indeed, there's really no comparable artist to be found in the genre. No one in country music has remained at the top of his or her game, and the charts, for more than three decades.
"He is an anomaly," says Gary Scott Thomas, co-host of the popular morning show on San Jose country radio station KRTY-FM 95.3. "Every genre has one act that has figured out a way, through luck or true planning, to circumvent the normal life span of an artist. George has done that."
A top seller
What Strait has accomplished during a record-setting career that stretches back to 1981 really puts him on the same level as such eternally popular acts as the Rolling Stones, Madonna, Bruce Springsteen and Jay-Z. And Strait has sold more albums in the U.S. than any of those acts -- some 69 million -- which is the 12th best of all time.
And not even the Beatles, Elvis Presley or Michael Jackson can compete with King George when it comes to the singles charts. The 61-year-old Texan has scored an amazing 60 No. 1 singles, which is more than any artist -- in any genre -- in history. That list includes such all-time country classics as "A Fire I Can't Put Out," "You Look So Good in Love," "Let's Fall to Pieces Together," "The Chair" and "What's Going On in Your World."
"George Strait is simply the best artist I have ever seen at picking the right song," Thomas says. "When you hear a George Strait song, you know it. And somehow it doesn't get old."
What he's done is impressive -- but how he's done it is even more so. He's been the model of consistency over the years, being the only artist to ever chart at least one top 10 single for 30 consecutive years. Let's see One Direction top that.
"You may have a long career, but it's rare to have a career that continues to generate top 10 singles," McCall says. "So that's sort of a one-of-kind achievement. In the last 30 years, I don't know of anybody in any other genre that has had that kind of longevity."
Big on tour
Strait's popularity on the charts has certainly translated to the concert box office. He quickly rose to headliner status in the 1980s and has remained a potent draw at the gate ever since.
"George Strait has always done huge business on tour," says Gary Bongiovanni, editor of the concert industry publication Pollstar. "He may not work a lot of dates, but when he does, they are generally sell-outs in arenas -- or stadiums in some markets. George was one of the first country artists to mix in stadium dates on his arena tours. Now it's not that unusual to see acts like Jason Aldean or Taylor Swift step up to stadiums."
Straight's farewell road show, dubbed the Cowboy Rides Away Tour, ranked among last year's top treks. It raked in nearly $41 million over the course of 20 dates, Bongiovanni says. The tour is also doing banner business this year, with many dates -- including the one in San Jose -- expected to sell out.
And like many of today's arena-packing country stars, Strait has never even tried to cross over into pop. His straight-ahead country sound has changed little over the years.
"He is the only traditional country artist that has maintained huge popularity without altering his style to be more contemporary," Bongiovanni says.
Doing it right
Strait's legacy, however, cannot just be told in terms of records and tickets sold. One must also consider the impact he's had in helping transform country music into the commercial juggernaut that it is today, where many of the genre's top artists routinely outsell the biggest pop and rock acts.
Nashville, the epicenter of all things country music, was a very different place before Strait arrived on the scene in the early '80s. The record companies were chasing crossover dreams, believing that the key to success could be found in the pop world, and basically the only guys wearing cowboy hats were the scraggy "country outlaws." Then in walked Strait, with his cowboy hat, Wrangler jeans, big belt buckle and boots, finding massive success with a clean-cut image and traditional sound.
He spawned a legion of followers, including Garth Brooks, Clint Black, Alan Jackson and other artists who collectively pushed country music to never-before-seen heights in the early '90s. Yet, it all started with Strait.
"I think the '90s explosion most likely wouldn't have happened without George Strait," McCall says. "I think he showed Nashville that you could have these great enormous numbers without trying to be a pop crossover act, which is what a lot of Nashville thought you had to do in the late '70s and early '80s. George Strait never crossed over, but here he was selling out arenas and showing that country music could be popular."
Strait isn't just beloved by fans -- he's equally popular with artists. One reason is the way he carries himself, both in and out of the spotlight. He's known for being very welcoming to his opening acts, which is certainly not something that can be said about all big-name headliners.
"I love touring with George," says Martina McBride, the opening act at Strait's concert in San Jose. "It just feels like family out there."
Strait will be missed by his fellow musicians, most of whom stand in awe of what he's been able to accomplish during his career.
"George has been, and is, inspiring as an artist -- not just a country artist, but an artist in general," says Sugarland's Jennifer Nettles. "You want to be able to have the career that would allow you to perform for as long as you want to."
That's a goal so few have reached -- at least not in the way that George Strait has done during his magnificent career.
"Listen, if I could figure out the formula, I'd be doing it," Nettles says. "If somebody does give you the formula, please call me back and let me know. Because we all want to do it."

Definition of continuous in English:
- But the airport is no longer inactive during the afternoons, as there is continuous movement of flights.
- There will also be environmental monitoring around the works including additional continuous air monitoring.
- At the time of tooth bud formation, each tooth begins a continuous movement outward in relation to the bone.
- Accounts of technological development are retrospective stories about continuous advance.
- A point on the block serves as guide for the repeat impression, so that the design is continuous.
- The one area of reproduction which can create difficulties in accurate dating is the continuous production of a design over many years.
- In 1873 he gave a continuous function with divergent Fourier series at any point solving a major problem.
- This means that we can ignore a lot of jumps in functions and integrate them as if they were nice, smooth, continuous functions.
- He proved strong results on continuous functions containing Sierpinski's curve and wrote several papers on functional spaces.
There is some overlap in meaning between continuous and continual, but the two words are not wholly synonymous. Both can mean roughly 'without interruption' ( a long and continual war; five years of continuous warfare), but continuous is much more prominent in this sense and, unlike continual, can be used to refer to space as well as time, as in the development forms a continuous line along the coast. Continual, on the other hand, typically means 'happening frequently, with intervals between,' as in the bus service has been disrupted by continual breakdowns. Overall, continuous occurs much more frequently than continual (almost five times more often in the Oxford English Corpus).
continuousness noun
- Example sentences
- Made entirely of bent wood, the joints are subtly hidden to create the effect of continuousness.
- As Dyer reminds us, we have historically valued stars who appear to 'bear witness to the continuousness of their own selves', given that 'sincerity and authenticity are two qualities greatly prized in stars'.
- His relocations demonstrate a very specific sort of failure in the midst of a coordinate success: a failure to narrate a new identity in light of the continuousness of Englishness.
Mid 17th century: from Latin continuus 'uninterrupted', from continere 'hang together' (from con- 'together with' + tenere 'hold') + -ous.

Yale Divinity School (Theology, 1992) B.A. Wheaton College (Philosophy, 1989) About David Lauber As a graduate of Wheaton I have a strong affection for the college. I love teaching Wheaton students. I find the study and teaching of theology in the setting of a Liberal Arts college invigorating. Where else can one listen to Miles Davis, read Flannery O'Connor and Graham Greene, discuss the paintings of Piero della Francesca, all the while reading Athanasius, Thomas Aquinas, Luther, Calvin, and Barth? As a theologian friend of mine likes to say, "The task of the teacher of theology is to make his or her students better readers of Holy Scripture." By helping students wrestle with difficult and complex theological, philosophical, historical, and hermeneutical issues, it is always my goal that they will approach Scripture with open and searching eyes and open and receptive ears. The more I study and teach theology, the more I see that theology must be practiced with love, gratitude, joy and wonder. And this is something that I strive to instill in students. I count it a great privilege to assist students in the ongoing pursuit of thinking and living Christianly in the contemporary world.

Brace yourself. Another fall television season is upon us, and as usual, the broadcast and cable networks are sending an insanely massive fleet of new shows our way.
You simply don't have the time to watch all that programming, nor would you want to. That's where we come in.
To help you narrow your focus -- and ease the stress on your weary DVR -- we've done a deep dive through 20-plus shows to come up with five that are extra see-worthy.
Keep in mind that these picks are based solely on the strength of pilot episodes. A strong pilot, of course, doesn't guarantee sustained greatness. But it at least offers some promise and hope.
Here then are the five shows we're most excited to see:
1. "Gotham" (Fox): No fall show arrives lathered in more hype than this Batman prequel, and fortunately, its pilot delivers a great big blast of escapist fun.
Ben McKenzie radiates steely-eyed intensity as a rookie cop who will someday become Commissioner Gordon, and Donal Logue is full of brash charisma as his jaded partner, Harvey Bullock. But the real surprise is Jada Pinkett Smith, who gobbles up scenery as Fish Moony, a fierce gang boss with swagger to spare.
Well-paced and visually gorgeous, "Gotham"'s noirish opening hour puts several juicy story lines into motion and gives us tantalizing glimpses into how notorious villains like Catwoman (Carmen Bicondova), the Penguin (Robin Lord Taylor) and the Riddler (Cory Michael Smith) got their start.
We anticipate spending many a dark Monday night with this bunch.
"The Affair" (Showtime): Extramarital relationships have fueled oh so many steamy soaps. But where this provocative drama promises to separate itself from the pack is in the way it intimately explores the emotional fallout.
Dominic West plays a novelist and father who appears to be happily married. But during a summer vacation on Long Island, he is drawn to a troubled young waitress (Ruth Wilson). One thing leads to another, and complications arise.
With a sly narrative structure that swivels between now and then and presents events from different illuminating perspectives, "The Affair" becomes thick with tension while hinting that it will evolve into much more than what its title implies. Maura Tierney and Joshua Jackson round out the excellent cast on this Sunday night show.
3. "Gracepoint" (Fox): Inspired by the superlative British crime drama "Broadchurch," this 10-episode whodunit airing on Thursday nights has a lot to live up to. So far, so good.
David Tennant ("Doctor Who"), reprising his role from the UK version, plays a cop assigned to investigate the murder of a young boy in an idyllic seaside hamlet. Anna Gunn ("Breaking Bad") is his partner.
The remake deftly captures much of what made its predecessor so gripping: The moody intrigue, the crime's emotional and psychological ripple effects, the sense of a small town losing its innocence.
And early on at least, "Gracepoint" clings to the "Broadchurch" narrative. (Why not? It's a proven playbook). But producers have promised that their show will soon diverge in "significant ways." Our curiosity has been piqued.
"Black-ish" (ABC): Sitcoms are often better when they're not only funny but have something interesting to say.
Enter Andre 'Dre' Johnson (Anthony Anderson), a man with a loving biracial wife (Tracee Ellis Ross), great kids, a rewarding job and a sweet colonial home in the 'burbs. It's all good, right? Yes, except Dre worries that, amid the upper-middle class trappings, his family is losing touch with its African-American heritage.
Anderson throws off a lot of fun sparks with Ross, as well as Laurence Fishburne, who plays his old-school Pops. And the kids? They're downright adorable.
"Black-ish" doesn't hit every note, but it delivers some hearty laughs and an insightful discussion about cultural identity, while giving us a modern family we can relate to on Wednesday nights.
5. "The Flash" (The CW): We hesitated to place another comic book-inspired show on our list, but lead actor Grant Gustin won us over with his irresistible charm, and the first hour of this "Arrow" spin off airing on Tuesday nights sucked us in with its visual verve and zippy pace.
Fans know the story: Barry Allen (Gustin) was just 11 years old when his mother was killed and his father was falsely convicted of the murder. He grew up to be an endearingly geeky forensics investigator, who, in a freak accident, was struck by lightning and somehow gained the gift of super-speed. Now, he'll use his newfound power to fight crime in Central City.
We have no idea where this turbocharged saga is headed, but something tells us we'll get there in a blaze of glory.
OTHERS TO CONSIDER: Also making good first impressions were three shows that just missed the cut -- the teen-centric medical series "Red Band Society" (Fox. Wednesdays), Shonda Rhimes' latest intriguing, over-the-top drama, "How to Get Away With Murder" (ABC, Thursdays), and the endearing telenovela adaptation "Jane the Virgin" (The CW, Mondays).

Kathy Lynn Copeland and husband Joe brought and explained artifacts which gave us insight into the lifestyles of members of the Cherokee nations in the 18th and 19th Century at the November society meeting. Mixed in was history of the Cherokees from arrival in the Americas to their southeastern United States lives and then their forced removal to the Indian Territory.
Especially interesting were the stories passed down from their ancestors including how the coyote, blue birds, and red birds got their colors. Also, Kathy related the tale of how the poor old rabbit lost its long, beautiful tail.
Minutes and the Treasurer's Report of the November 16, 2009 meeting are posted in the File Archive in the right column.

That showtime has passed. Please try next available showtime.
USA, 2012, 83 Minute Running Time
Genre/Subjects: Animated, Art/Filmmaking, Biographical, Biopic, Documentary
Program: DocumentaryLanguage: English
DIRECTOR: Kevin Schreck
Producer: Kevin SchreckEditor: Kevin Schreck, Maureen GoslingCinematographer: Kevin Schreck
Kevin Schreck documents one artist's quest for perfection: Animator Richard Williams (Who Framed Roger Rabbit) dedicated nearly three decades to a project that came to be best known as The Thief and the Cobbler. Williams intended the film to be his personal masterpiece. Determined to reinvent the art of animation, he obsessed over every frame.
Williams based his plot on translations of ancient Persian manuscripts, and for inspiration watched the silent comedies of Charlie Chaplin and Harry Langdon. He meticulously drew a magical world for his main character, the Mullah Nasruddin. But progress slowed, and his self-financed film eventually stalled. Williams brought in master animator Ken Harris, of Road Runner fame, to assist him. While his team of animators slaved over each scene, Williams continued to change the script and blow the budget. After Roger Rabbit won four Oscars in 1988, Warner Bros. took an interest and committed enough money to complete The Thief and the Cobbler, but under the studio's terms. Williams could not meet the deadlines, and the insurance company took away his ownership of the film.
Schreck gathered rare archival footage, visual ephemera, artwork, and Williams's rough animation to create Persistence of Vision. "My interest in this story stems from a lifelong fascination with the endless possibilities offered by the art of animation," he says. Schreck traveled to the United Kingdom, Canada, and New York City to interview artists and animators who worked with Williams, but the man at the center of the film refused to participate. "We will never know if Williams's film would have been the masterpiece he wanted it to be, and we will never know the full story without the protagonist's input," Schreck says. "Like Williams's unfinished epic, my own film remains necessarily incomplete because of Williams's silence."

It's been in the shop for over 2 weeks now. Some part of the crank needs to be replaced, and since Cannondale loves to use proprietary components, we have to wait for the replacement from the dealer before anything can be done. On top of that, I can't really go surfing either, unless I want to sludge around in tanker oil from the spill last week...
Speaking of which, if anyone is in the SF bay area and would like to help clean up the oil spill, go to this link:
(picture below borrowed from the Kill The Spill site above)
On an unrelated note, I took my mountain bike for a spin last week and brought along the GPS unit and camera. I took a few pictures along the SF waterfront and across the bridge in the Marin Headlands. Once again, it was a foggy day out:
And like last time, you can click "View Map" to see everything on a map:
This is my experience as a Sony brand ambassador for the GPS-CS1KA unit. I'll have the unit and my camera at races, vacations, and other events. My photos will then be uploaded and plotted on the world map for everyone to see!

SAN JOSE -- A veteran correctional officer now sits in the very same jail he once secured following his arrest on drug offenses, and stands accused of harboring "known criminals" at his home partly in exchange for giving him narcotics, according to the Santa Clara County Sheriff's Office.
After an internal affairs investigation, deputies Monday searched the San Jose home of 48-year-old Juan Carlos Carillo and arrested him on suspicion of being under the influence of a controlled substance and possessing a controlled substance. The Sheriff's Office did not detail what kind of narcotics were found..
In a brief statement to this newspaper, Sheriff Laurie Smith voiced disappointment in the revelation.
"This alleged conduct is wrong especially when committed by a person who is held to a higher standard," Smith said. "The public's trust has been violated and rest assured we will continue to investigate this conduct."
The Sheriff's Office said Carillo is one of the 300 deputies assigned to the Santa Clara County main jail and has worked for the agency for 14 years. He has been placed on administrative leave. He was also placed in protective custody -- out of safety concerns related to his status as a law-enforcement officer -- at the jail and his bail was set at $121,000. He is tentatively scheduled to appear in court Thursday.
Deputies also arrested three other San Jose residents in connection with the investigation:
Limon and Torres are being held without bail because of their respective parole and probation violations. Rivera is being held on $65,000 bail.
Anyone with information about the case can contact Sheriff's investigators at 408-808-4500 or leave an anonymous tip at 408-808-4431.

Polishing the MonologFX API
By MarkHeckler-Oracle on Nov 10, 2012
Earlier this week, I released "into the wild" a new JavaFX 2.x dialog library, MonologFX, that incorporated some elements of DialogFX and new features I'd been working on over time. While I did try to get the API to a point of reasonable completion (nothing is ever truly "finished", of course!), there was one bit of functionality that I'd included without providing any real "polish": that of the button icons.
Good friend and fellow JFXtras teammate José Pereda Llamas suggested I fix that oversight and provide an update (thanks much, José!), thus this post. If you'd like to take a peek at the new streamlined syntax, I've updated the earlier post; please click here if you'd like to review it. If you want to give MonologFX a try, just point your browser to GitHub to download the updated code and/or .jar.
All the best,

The Jigsaw man craves only peace,He wants completion; he seeks release,There's something missing from his face,Perhaps you missed it in your haste?The Jigsaw man is corner wise,You form the outlines of his eyes,But man is made from many parts,And Jigsaw man has lost his heart. Jigsaw man is in a box,It seems that something pure is lost,Perhaps you'll have to start again, Or wait until a wet weekend.Jigsaw man has gone to pieces... You sit there in your comfort, you don't believe I'm real. But you cannot buy protection from the way that I feel!
I hope this doesn't sound like anything but a compliment, but your writing seems to be improving so much, Percy. I'm very impressed. Not that I'm the one to impress around here, but you get what I mean...Anyway, here's something that's incredibly dark and creepy. And, I would hope so, as my main inspiration for writing this (though there were many) was a carnival-type dark ride we used to have at our local amusement park, until it got torn down about ten years ago. Here's some info on it, if anyone cares. (This is the second page of info because it addresses the incarnation of the ride that I actually remember, but the first page is pretty interesting, too.)This poem is basically an eerily-executed warning about fearing time and hanging onto the past so much that you fail to live in the moment. Also, it's about the "price" of the overcompensation - living with abandon, being thoughtless, because one feels they have no higher power to answer to and that life is just one big joyride.(Don't mind the gratuitous elipses. I did that because TW doesn't seem to recognize indentations.) I heard time chattering inside my closet.............TitteringAt the expense of my own stunted laughter.............Stunned The runt amongst the litter Of dry bonesThat shriek, like flutesLike hollow bamboo shootsThey still chime in The illusion Of oxygenThe thought that made me pant with panic.............Hah, hah, hahTime was gnawing on my toys and shrunken gownsAt once, I thought, Because, they taste of me .............Tick, tick, tick And, soon he'll have a thirst for meThat can't be satiatedIn a scentHe'll crave and come for my own fleshHe'll lap the salt from my own skinAs if.............Lovingness Had overcome him So, I upheld the pretense; The living dead can danceI'm free as free can beSpinning in the darkWith me and me I did not noticeHow I waltzed.............Creak, creak, creakOnly but a whisper hovering over the parquetFeeling cold as clay To the bottom of my solesWith my toes Pressed so crisply into hisHe dipped me into the abyssInto dismayInto decayWhere all is nudeWithin the design Of his dark decrepitude And, there I sensed his silhouetteWhich never leftIt mastered every movementEvery languid motionOf my porcelainMarionette;Clamoring and cacklingTime is cachinatingIn his cold and calculating MachinationConvulsing In repulsionThe everlasting echoOf my maturationRendered hopelessBy means of its late achievement.............The tragic fault in my living bereavementThe laughter in the dark Was meFor, when I breathedMy seething fearsInto the nightThey seized me tightStrangling me inside the grasping fingers of my ribs;I could not sense his delicate, skeletal grip Which rested on my hip,Until I felt his pointed finger pressed Into my lipsI am his twinI have no choice, nowBut, to grin, forTime is grinningAs I'm spinningInto Le CachotWith nowhere left to go.............Click, click, click I have a couple of fag women I go hunting with. - Altoid
Thanks Kate, wish I could manage to write some longer pieces like some of your excellent poems. Anyway here's another shorty.Weary CityI stumble down streets I no longer remember,Heart lost in this city of fallen pretenders,Indifferent currents slowly sweep me along,Whilst sirens scream songs that were lost long ago.What man could make these concrete hells?Of towering greys and cheap rotting smells,Where wide eyed urchins pant their glee,Disturbing the angels dreaming of sleep.Can weary blue eyes ever find peace?Maybe the city will grant it's release,Where rich soils lie and tall trees grow,There you shall find me at peace with my soul. You sit there in your comfort, you don't believe I'm real. But you cannot buy protection from the way that I feel!
Here's something shorter, just to prove to myself I can do it.I hear the Mourning Dove's twirling, tottery sirenShe hints that there's light to look forward toPerhaps, she will rebuild the nest in my window sill That I poked at with a bloodless ball pointSending seasons of the amassed twigs, And shit, And one rotting dud egg From her former Spring's quiver,Crumbling open to the bricks Below, where it bloomed In a cloud of grey dust And short, downy plumeageI clench my eyes tight as I teeter on sleepHer wings, then, Rebound off the glass, As she rattles a wail of indignance and shudders to flightBut, I can't yet illuminate A warm, yolky scape For her beauty to mingle withSo, I imagine her flying away, And gradually merging Into a black void I have a couple of fag women I go hunting with. - Altoid
I like it... more crap from me though I'm afraid!StreetsI'm lost down the streets that remember no name,Skipping past cobbles that bear me no blame,I'm scowling at shadows and paying no heed,Whilst dancing in time to the hate of your screams.These dark city street lamps reflect what is sane,Such oceans of darkness where light laid no claim,Not even the vilest can dare not to dream,When you're trapped in the horror of what you have seen.The night has descended from where it has lain,Remember the faces of those it has slain,Awaken and shake off the dastardly sleep,Too late you forget that you sow what you reap... You sit there in your comfort, you don't believe I'm real. But you cannot buy protection from the way that I feel!
This poem is sort of gritty and noir, I like.. And, rhyming scheme is great. I've been trying to loosen up a bit on my structure and rhyme, but I find it hard because I really like the symmetry of it. Anyway, here's something a little more free-flowing I did when I found out about this Kurt and Courtney biopic that Love is apparently putting together. I'm almost embarrassed to share this one because of the first two lines... Almost. There's a gallery under his clothesOf fresh wounds to fuckEach gash he makes opens an eye But, each blink is now grand with tormentHe's no longer the right to be dressed;To be seenHis face caked with seven, strange colorsThe dry, rigid layers are cracked By his every expressionHe sits by a mirror and he peels one away Each day, Revealing another inventionSoon, he has pried at his own fleshy filmHe takes off his mask and he smiles He hangs his own face up to dryThey clamor to buyWhat they proudly must don As a trophy To their sensitivityNow, they all standAt the feet of his handiworkClutching and tapping their chins, Like hot microphonesThe painter; Listening, laughing and jerking,As they strain to detect Every vague undertoneQuickly, He runs out of paintIn wells, they collect all the trickling acrylicTo dip their dull wicks in his own crimson inkTo transcribe his journalsTo make him a soft drinkHis body's still wet,Incarnate;They sop his imprint With a long sheet of canvasAnd, harvest his bone as a toolTo slash, milk and swellThe price on the tagThat's been, Callously, Strung to his toe It's time for you to come out of Weed Heaven and Potville for a second and give me a little informationi! - Captain Lunatic

Authorities have released the name of a 2-year-old boy who died over the weekend after being found outside north of Williston.

About the Book
The dramatic conclusion to Jenna Burtenshaw's YA dark fantasy trilogy and the sequel to Shadowcry and Blackwatch. This stunningly original series will be loved by fans of Sarah J. Maas's Throne of Glass series and Leigh Bardugo's Grisha trilogy.
Teen Kate Winters and her powers are unique. She is descended from an ancient and powerful bloodline. She alone can understand Wintercraft, a book of ancient secrets. She alone can stand between the living and the dead as the veil between them crumbles. Kate is being led to the very edge of life and death so that she can call down all the spirits that haunt the graveyard city of Fume. No one can resist the pull of the crumbling veil, and soon the dead will overrun the living. Unless Silas and Edgar can stop her. Edgar is Kate's best friend and her one anchor to the living. But Silas is enigmatic, merciless, and often cruel. Will this villain we love to hate act honorably? Or not?
Jenna Burtenshaw has created not just a magnificent city full of intrigue and darkness, but also a hero and an antihero who will keep you guessing until the end. Who can you trust when good and evil are bound together?
The dead are restless.The veil between the living and the dead is weakening.The graveyard city of Fume is over-run by ghosts.
And Kate Winters—the one person powerful enough to bring life and death back into balance—has been captured by an ancient and power-hungry enemy.
Kate is returning to home to Albion just as it reaches the brink of utter chaos. But she isn't there to save it. She's there to obliterate it. Caught in a trap laid by the most powerful sorceress in the world, Kate will be the catalyst for the final destruction of the veil. And the dead will swarm the living.
Silas Dane is following her. Though he is half-dead himself—and may be a murderer and a disgraced warrior—he will not let Albion down in its hour of need. Together he and Kate will turn to the dark secrets of her family's legacy: the book of Wintercraft.
Those who wish to see the dark, it's time to pay the price.

With many Briercrest students already making their way home for the holidays it is officially time to begin celebrating the completion of first semester.
As first year student Kara Giesbrecht reflects upon the many ups and downs of her first semester, not only is she ready for a break from final assignments and exams, but also the time commitments her music program requires.
"I was in choir and we were having extra rehearsals for Christmas and I am taking piano lessons as well," said Giesbrecht, "I had a recital so that was another chunk of time, and then there was the worship team and practices, and we had 6:45 a.m. sound check every morning."
Besides taking four classes, along with their assignments and exams, an average week for Giesbrecht consisted of at least four hours of worship practice, three hours of choir rehearsals, a one-hour piano lesson, and an additional six hours of required practice time in the piano room. "It was a little bit crazy," sighed Giesbrecht with a laugh.
Giesbrecht said one of her biggest struggles as the semester came to a close was finding a balance between the crunch-time of final assignments and her musical commitments.
"I guess most of my semester had been pretty relaxed, but then all my assignments were kind of due all at once, and they were all major assignments," explained Giesbrecht, "and there was some music stuff that was picking up as well, so I was finding it a little bit stressful to know where to focus my time and my energy."
With her nerves a little more frazzled than usual, Giesbrecht says she's made sure to pray often, keep chocolate close at hand, and not to let all her to do's get in the way of spending time with God.
"I have had a few rough patches," smiled Giesbrecht, "overall things were a little bit stressful or tense, but I guess I have been reminded in the midst of all this there are reasons to be thankful. God is still good, He still is sovereign and I was just reminded of His love."
Giesbrecht says her motivation to finish strong comes from keeping her focus on the end goal and remembering Christmas is just around the corner.
"The fact that the semester was almost over, just to throw in the towel or not really give much of an effort for those remaining few things would have been useless," said Giesbrecht, "and put a big yes with an exclamation mark because I am going home for Christmas!"
Allison Berg also shares in this excitedment. The second year music student said she was also more than ready for first semester to finish up so she could go home for the holidays.
"I am very much looking forward to being at home and just being able to take a break, relax and to be able to celebrate what Christmas is about," says Berg, "and just to catch up with friends and family and engage in some of those Christmas traditions at home."
While Berg said she did not share in the same stress of the November/December crunch-time of assignments that Giesbrecht did, she did find herself busy with similar musical commitments.
Also involved with choir, the Christmas production, and recitals, Berg spent at least four hours a week practicing for her conducting classes and getting ready for the Christmas production, all on top of having eight a.m. classes all week.
With her course work requiring a large portion of her time, Berg said keeping focused and managing her time well was her best line of defense in getting everything accomplished.
"I am a scheduler and I like making to do lists and writing everything down that I need to get done for the day," said Berg, "I usually made my list the night before so I get into the right mindset and know tomorrow needs to be a productive day or else I am going to get behind."
Now that first semester is over Berg said things have become a little less stressful, but is now finding herself thinking about the end of second semester already.
"I have thoughts of graduating in the spring and that has been a little stressful now, too," said Berg, "just figuring out if I want to go to a different school after this, or thinking of jobs to apply at or what will be next semester."
Despite the stresses the students may face whatever they may be, Giesbrecht and Berg both agree for now it is time to put school out of mind for a few weeks and simply enjoy being around friends and family for the holiday season.

Laura Ault grew up in Summit County, attending Dillon Valley Elementary and later, Summit High School, before moving east to pursue her passion for singing and songwriting. Now, she is in the running to appear on the Late Show with David Letterman, what she sees as her shot to make it to the big time.
Not that she hasn't been putting in the legwork. Ault has two albums out, her debut "All of the Above" and a second release titled "The Greatest Thing," both of which are available at iTunes and major online retailers. The albums feature "flavors of many different genres including country, rock, pop, Latin and even cabaret," said Ault. "All my songs are very lyric-driven. People say my music is witty, singer/songwriter pop with an eclectic twist."
She recently won the Red Bull Soundstage competition, and now two of her songs will be featured in upcoming movie releases, including "He's Way More Famous Than You" with Ben Stiller, Jessie Eisenberg and Vanessa Williams and "We Made This Movie" directed by Rob Burnett. "Actor and director of the film, Michael Urie, asked if I could write a wacky song for the lead characters to sing at the end of the movie and of course I had a blast with that," Ault said.
The Letterman contest is a continuation of the movie competition. The 24 finalists are up for the audience choice award, which is voting-based. The finalist with the most votes gets to perform on the Late Show. Daily voting runs through Aug. 7 at 11:59 p.m. at www.redbullsoundstage.com. Voters are entered to win an all-expense-paid trip to New York to see the winner perform.
"I need everyone and their dog to vote for me ... every day through August 7!" Ault said. Votes can also be cast by "Liking" her Facebook page (www.facebook.com/lauraaultmusic) and clicking through to her personal voting page with Red Bull. "Another way to show support is to share my voting link via Twitter and on your Facebook page, asking your friends to vote too. I truly am relying on the kindness of strangers to help me fulfill a lifelong dream. I cannot do it without you. Thank you in advance."
Although she did not discover her passion for singing and songwriting until later, Ault credits her Summit County experience in high school choirs and musicals for influencing her life's direction. "I still love musicals, and I think when you listen to my music you can hear the influence they have had in some of my songwriting," she said.

Michael Jackson's former assistant Michael Amir Williams has sued concert promoter AEG, saying he lost out on a massive paycheck because AEG negligently employed Dr. Conrad Murray for Jackson's "This Is It" series of shows.
Murray was eventuallyt convicted of manslaughter for administering the dose of Propofol that killed Jackson.
A rep for AEG told TMZ, "This lawsuit is clearly frivolous; it is literally barred by at least four different legal doctrines."
Yeah ... well, is it barred by the Monroe Doctrine, smart guy?
Sorry. That made about as much sense as this lawsuit.
Anyway, AEG contends Williams doesn't have a case because he was never a beneficiary of Jackson's contract with AEG, so he can't legally bring a claim for Jackson's wrongful death.
As far as AEG is concerned, Williams' lawsuit is an attempted money grab that won't work.
"This is just the latest wrongful death lawsuit with someone hoping to profit from Michael Jackson's tragic death in the same way they profited from his life."

RIP Jack McCarthy. Unsung hero of modern poetry.
A lot of people I know and respect have always held Jack McCarthy in high regard. For good reason. B. Dolan, Jared and myself have all been influenced and touched by this man and his work. I was honored to meet him early on during my time in the New England poetry scene. There's no flashiness to what he does. He's just a powerful and beautiful being. He had been in hospice care over the past few months due to health issues, and on January 17, 2013 and he passed away. He left us with these words:
It hurts
when love dies.
When love is deep,
it hurts deeply
more deeply maybe than you thought
anything would ever hurt
But with time,
the spaces between the moments when it hurts
get longer,
the moments themselves become
less devastating,
till eventually you come to associate them
with a sad sweetness
that has as much in common
with love
as it does with grief.
I wish you long
spaces in between,
and may you carry into them
all of that sweetness,
and only enough sadness to attest
the risk thats being taken
by everyone who loves you.

The best part of that poem is that is starts off like a million other poems but by the end you're like "Holy fuck!"
I also ripped this straight off the man's webpage, since I think it probably sums his style up better than anything else: "He reminds me of a drunken man in a bar full of snobs, who for some inexplicable reason is always right."Sam Szabo, grade 7, Rupert A. Nock Middle School, Newburyport, MA
I don't need to get into to the details, but your post kind of makes it sound like McCarthy chose to end his own life. Maybe that's the case, but otherwise it's kind of misleading.

I believe he had emphysema and it seemed like death had been knocking on his door for the past year or so. He seemed to be at peace with it in all of his accounts of what was happening. Here's the last update he made on his website:
I certainly didn't mean to make it seem like he killed himself. I just didn't want to present this news as if this was a sudden, violent, unexpected passing. He tells us to go gentle with ourselves. I imagine he left this world gently. Not sure how else to state it, but I should fix that if it gives the impression that he took his own life.

Gotcha. I took "he left us with these words" as "this is basically his suicide note." I somehow didn't account for the possibility of a slow illness, which was my mistake. Either way, I'm now interested in the man's work, so that's good.

Thank you for sharing.
Undoubtedly, this man was a genuine being. Which is a marvel in this world of inauthenticity, and to me, the true mark of success.
Let the passing of his plantery body serve, whomever so wishes, as a reminder of our own bodies ephemeral transcience.
May his essence be.

I got to see him at his book release in Seattle last year and it was truly special. One time I was on tour and was kinda high and dry in Bellingham and he just made some calls and took care of me.
It also meant a lot to me as a young writer that he was just a regular guy from inside the city of Boston who had no connection to the academic world and was really successful despite that, not to mention how his personal relationship to addiction, Catholicism, etc. all reaffirmed my whole sense of self. so glad for the example Jack set.

I first got to meet Jack on my second poetry tour, in Bellingham. I, of course, already knew of him and his amazing work. I was flabbergasted when he came up to me after my set and said he wanted to buy one of everything I had, which led to an hour long conversation about life, poetry/craft, and the ways we both handled addiction(him through the program, me on my own). He was at my Seattle feature a couple nights later. We had another good lengthy conversation. I still cherish both those conversations and everyone we had at NPS or whenever our paths would cross. A kind, decent, wonderful man all the way around.

Perry Berezan initiated one of the most unforgettable moments in Calgary Flames history when his seemingly harmless dump-in set in motion a chain of events that led to Steve Smith's own-goal which eliminated the defending Stanley Cup Champion Edmonton Oilers back in 1986.
Now working for the "The Berezan Sherven Group", Perry effectively combines his formidable business acumen with the relentlessly positive attitude he displayed during his NHL career to help his many clients achieve their investment goals.
The father of Lindsay(20), Jack(17) and Rene(14) reflects fondly on his days with the Flames and their commitment to community engagement which continues to be expressed today through the efforts of the Flames Alumni.
"Y'know, all of the off-ice stuff we did is what I'm the most proud of. Lanny, Jim and that amazing veteran leadership group we had back then made sure all the young guys knew that being active in the community is what's expected of you when you put on the Flames jersey."

STANFORD -- The Pac-12's last-place team visited Maples Pavilion on Thursday night without its best player, and still made Stanford sweat for while.
The Cardinal finally got out of its own way and posted an easy 80-59 victory over USC in front of 4,345 fans to pull into a three-way tie for fourth place in the conference standings.
Winners of four of its past five games, Stanford (17-8, 8-5) faces second-place UCLA on Saturday at Maples.
"They don't expect to lose," Stanford senior Josh Huestis said of the Bruins. "I'm real excited for the opportunity we've got."
This one figured to be routine, especially when the Trojans (10-16, 1-11) announced that leading scorer and rebounder Byron Wesley would not face either Stanford or Cal this weekend after violating team rules.
But Stanford shot 28.6 percent in the first half and played seven minutes without senior Dwight Powell, who went to the locker room for three stitches in his head after being knocked to the floor by USC's Strahinj Gavrilovic.
"He's fine," coach Johnny Dawkins said, "but you never know what's going on when you see a pool of blood on the floor."
USC trailed just 34-29 after a layup by Omar Oraby with 18:33 left in the game. But Stanford gradually got a grip on the game, then took charge with a 21-5 surge.
An 8-0 Cardinal run, featuring six free throws and a hook shot by Powell, pushed the margin to 59-42 with 9:48 left. A 13-0 burst, punctuated by a three-point play by Powell, made it 72-47 with 5:05 left.
Asked why it took so long to get the offense going, guard Chasson Randle said, "I'm not sure. You just have to keep playing basketball and eventually the shots will go in for us. And they did."
Dawkins said the Cardinal moved the ball better in the second half and didn't settle for 3-pointers after shooting 1 for 13 in the opening 20 minutes.
He was much happier with his team's defense. "We found a way, through our defense, through our effort," Dawkins said.
Huestis led the Cardinal with 11 points, a career-high 18 rebounds and three blocked shots to become Stanford's all-time leader with 169. He eclipsed Tim Young's record of 167.
"That's a remarkable record to break when you're only 6-foot-7," Dawkins said.
Randle overcame a 4-for-15 shooting performance with a 10-for-10 effort at the foul line and scored 18 points. Anthony Brown scored 13.
Powell had 14 points, all of them after his collision with 14:24 left in the first half. He passed a concussion test before returning with 7:32 left, wearing a new No. 32 jersey because No. 33 was speckled with blood.
"It's always scary when you see someone leave, let alone bleeding from the head," Huestis said. "He didn't really miss a step. But I don't like it when Dwight disappears like that."
Pe'Shon Howard scored 13 points for USC, which certainly missed Wesley's firepower. The junior guard averages 17.6 points and had scored at a 22.0 clip the previous five games.

Justin Bieber's Backers 'Believe' His Film Has a Fresh Business Model
"Justin Bieber's Believe" has so far brought in about $2.3 million since opening on Christmas Day–which isn't even enough to place it in the top ten at the box office–but the backers of the singer's film say that the rankings don't tell the real story.
"Opening at No. 1 or No. 14 or No. 47 has nothing to do with a film's profitability," said Tom Ortenberg, CEO of Open Road Films, the movie's distributor.
Ortenberg said "Believe" cost less than $5 million to make, and another $4.5 million was spent to market the film. In part because the costs were kept relatively low–most studio films spend much more on budgets and marketing–he expects "Believe" to make a profit "well into the seven figures, which we're very happy about. Any other concerns on the movie, frankly, aren't any of our business."
The movie wasn't screened for critics in advance of its opening, something that is typically a sign that a studio has no faith in the critical or commercial value of its release. Ortenberg, however, said that "Believe" wasn't screened for critics in an effort to keep costs down, since such advance showings costs "many thousands of dollars."
"We didn't think the film would be review driven and so we did not bother taking the time or the trouble or the expense," Ortenberg said.
So far, "Believe" has a 56 percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes, the movie review aggregation site.
Scott Manson, COO of Scooter Braun Projects, the entertainment company behind many of Bieber's ventures, said the strategy behind "Believe" was much like that of Beyonce's recent "visual album," which she released with virtually no advance word or marketing.
"We're huge fans of what Beyonce did," Manson said. "This is almost a theatrical film version of that. Hopefully we'll both end up in a great place with our fans bases and also in terms of economics once the dust settles."
Manson said that because Bieber has a devoted following, "Believe" didn't need a pricey marketing campaign.
"We realized that because of this built in fan base where these kids are so loyal and so supportive and so amazing that we could make a movie that we were really proud of and market it directly to them without traditional studio overhead charges and marketing budgets," Manson said. "And we feel like we accomplished that."
The trending hashtag on Twitter #BelieveMovieWeekend has spurred fans to voice their support for the film online. A person familiar with the matter said the studio was behind the hashtag.
Paul Dergarabedian, Senior Media Analyst for Rentrak, a measurement company that monitors the entertainment industry, said via email that although "Believe" had a modest budget, giving it a greater chance to earn back its money, "this may be one of the most competitive and crowded movie marketplace environments ever with so many movies competing for the hearts, minds and wallets of the audience."
Estimates from Rentrak show that "Believe" brought in $1,250,000 on Wednesday and $1,012,500 on Thursday for a total domestic box office of $2,262,500 so far.
Bieber's 2011 film "Never Say Never" took in $34,872,749 its first week in theaters, according to Rentrak. That film was a huge hit that went on to gross $73,013,910 at the domestic box office.
Dergarabedian said that the audience "Believe" was going after was a hard one to pin down. "The success of these types of movies depend upon the interest of a very unpredictable and fickle teen audience (in this case mainly teen girls) and as such can be hit or miss," Dergarabedian said.
