Hot Coffee
Hot Coffee
Jul 24, 2005 1:28AM PST
Hot Coffee has turned into a huge ball of controversy now. I think its amazing. This little mistake is going to screw up the video game industry for years to come. AO is kind of a harsh punishment, espicially since almost no stores carry them, and they are actually banned by Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo (not surising). It is strange, however, that this game gets the AO while other games (such as God of War and Gothic 2) show even more nudity, and sexual scenes.(although you cant see it in God of War). People may forgive and forget if Rockstar both makes coffeeless version of San Andreas AND offers a free exchange for that version (very unlikely). Because of this, people are actually talking about making The Sims 2 and AO rated game. Aleready the bad effects of this controversy have appeared. This will leave the industry f***ed up for many years to come. Thankyou Mrs. Clinton, and now if you run for president, I know who not to vote for.

Northwood Mayor Mark Stoner said he will make a recommendation to the Safety Committee later this month on his proposed Advanced Life Support (ALS) system in the volunteer fire department.
Stoner had proposed the plan in June, but some on council balked, saying it was too expensive to implement. The plan would guarantee that a paramedic would respond to ALS calls. Currently, there is no such guarantee.
Just about every year, Woodmore High School has had at least one foreign exchange student. This year there are four exchange students.
One student, from Finland, is Charlotta Makinen. She is staying with Whitney Flick, high school English teacher. She has been here since Aug. 3 and will be staying until summer.
The Kreager family of Oak Harbor is celebrating 180 years of marriage without a divorce. The achievement is noteworthy not only because 50 percent of all marriages end in divorce, but also because all five couples married their high school sweethearts.
Jim Witt, superintendent of Lake schools, used a moment in a brief presentation at Tuesday's meeting of the Lake Township trustees to try to squelch a rumor about the school district's finances.
Revenues from a 4.75-mill, 5-year operating levy, if passed, won't be used to help fund the high school building currently under construction, he said.
Kenny Hetrick, the owner of Tiger Ridge Exotics, says inspectors from the United States Department of Agriculture are threatening to fine him $60,000.
Hetrick estimates he has spent $12,000 making corrections to his Stony Ridge facility that has been a home to rescued lions, tigers, bears, wolves, bobcat, lynx, mountain lion, leopards and cheetah for 37 years.
He says that doesn't seem to be enough to please inspectors from the USDA's Animal and Plant Inspection Service.
"My side of the story is that I did every single thing that they tell me to do, and then they come back and they tell me that it is not good enough. Every time I do something, they come back with something else. So, over and over they keep doing that," Hetrick said.
Hetrick fears the USDA is trying to put pressure on him to give up raising the exotic animals. There have also been complaints from animal rights activists.

Not only is the CFNM niche a tempting one right right now, but mix that with dilettantes, and the scenarios of the tale lines themselves and they do have a winner on their hands, however, the plot can only account for so much of worthiness, and there was enough frown causing issues to bring the star rating down fast for this site

Hi everyone,
This is my first post, so forgive if it's in the wrong room. Also, forgive me as I'm very new to WordPress.
I'm looking to develop two pages for my site that display two different categories. So page A will only show cat A and page B will only show cat B.
I've done some research but I'm not any of the wiser. I've installed Category Pages & Posts Shortcodes plugin but am none of the wiser. Research suggests adding a line of code to the category template. I'm using the responsive theme which doesn't appear to have a category.php file to amend.
Anyone recommend a way to solve this? Or an easier plugin which won't require editing code?

Sense and Sensibility
What parents need to know
Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that there's nothing really objectionable for younger kids in this movie, but the plot may be too sophisticated for them to follow, and the film features some emotional intensity. Characters drink wine at dinner and on social occasions; during one dinner, an older couple drinks wine and acts intoxicated as they giggle and gossip and make jokes at the expense of one of the characters. There also are tame discussions of characters who leave town when their lovers become pregnant. In one scene, a female dog is referred to as a "bitch."

What's the story?
Directed by Ang Lee, Emma Thompson's adaptation of the Jane Austen novel follows the Dashwood sisters as they try to redeem a lost fortune by marrying well and end up finding love. Sensible Elinor and sensuous Marianne are left impoverished after their father's death because the law awards their estate to a half-brother. They retreat to a little cottage by the sea and hope to marry well. This is a trying task, however, since Elinor (Emma Thompson) falls for a young man who is previously engaged, and Marianne (Kate Winslet) is literally swept off her feet by a handsome rogue. Despite their marked temperamental differences, Marianne and Elinor are devoted to one another. As they find love, lose it, and find it again, sentimental Marianne learns the value of restraint, and sensible Elinor discovers that composure melts in passion's flame. And, as in many Austen novels, the sisters are plagued by gossipy neighbors and selfish in-laws, but through it all they manage to handle challenges with grace and humor.
Is it any good?
Romantics and anyone with a penchant for this author's work will have a ball. SENSE AND SENSIBILITY shows how women in upper-class Georgian England, though privileged, had relatively few choices in life. The beautiful, humorous movie creates a buzz of excitement around the Dashwood sisters' romantic intrigue. Some of the characters you'll love to hate (the Dashwoods' horrible sister-in-law and gloating Miss Steele), and others you'll absolutely adore (little Margaret Dashwood, the future pirate).
What makes this adaptation so endearing is its loving depiction of the Dashwood family as a high-spirited and supportive clan. One trio of 12-year-old girls considers this a favorite and admits to watching it repeatedly. For them, the movie strikes the same wistful chord as the blockbuster Titanic, and it even ends happily!
Families can talk about...
Families can talk about why "costume dramas," such as this one, are popular. Did you enjoy seeing how people once lived, dressed, and interacted? Do you think all people living in Georgian England enjoyed such clothes, balls, servants, and wealth? Why aren't more films about the far more numerous common people of the time? This also may be a good time for parents to introduce Austen's books to their tweens and teens.
What do you see as the challenges of adapting a Jane Austen novel into a film?
How are the values of the time conveyed in this movie, and how are they similar to and different from contemporary values, in terms of love, money, and family?

Actually, their offense shouldn't change schemes this year at all. They hired another west coast guy (from UCLA, I believe), and they even went out and said that part of the reason they hired him was to make the transition easy by not switching schemes. He doesn't seem to be that good of an OC, but he wont change the scheme.

This is a potential feature request.
It'd be massively useful to add an $args element of this function, so that you can send arguments to the callback function.
Currently you have to create a separate function to sanitize each field with different requirements (eg max 30 characters, only numeric etc) whereas this information could easily be passed by arguments to the function.
Even just sending the option name would be useful, so you could set up an array that stores the sanitize requirements for each option field.

Calvary Day School's home football opener will have to wait a week.
The Cavaliers were scheduled to play Glynn Academy at M.C. Anderson Field on Friday, but the game has been moved to Brunswick because new bleachers are being installed at Calvary.
Calvary coach Danny Britt said the school is increasing the stadium's seating capacity from around 1,700 to almost 3,000. Britt said enough of the construction should be finished this week that the Cavaliers can host Pierce County on Sept. 2. Construction will be completed for the Sept. 16 game against Jenkins County.
"It's going to be really nice,'' he said. "We're going to build the bleachers on the home side all the way over the track up to the press box.
The new bleachers will also allow Calvary to host a playoff game without having to bring in addition seating. Schools must have a stadium with a seating capacity of at least 2,000 to host a playoff game, according to Georgia High School Association rules.
"You can bring in temporary bleachers, and we've done that,'' Britt said. "But we didn't want to have to do that. Plus, the height of the home side will make it so you can see much better.''
Originally, construction was supposed to have begun on July 5, but delays caused it to be pushed back to Aug. 1.
"It's been a nightmare trying to get everything to come together,'' Britt said. "We felt like we were going to have it up a couple of weeks ago, but things didn't work out quite like we wanted. But it will be worth the wait.''

Reviews From Guests
The reservation was canceled the day before arrival. This is an automated posting.
The room is a tiny room, it is good for two people, a bit crowded with luggage and stuff. It is in a good location near Sacre couer (walking distance) and near Gare du Nord (train station) and La Chapelle metro station. The neighborhood has shops, bakeries, a market and a laundry services nearby. Many mid eastern and african places and it is near an Indian area. The main thing that bothered us with the room is the cleanliness. The bathroom is really small and some parts of the shower curatin were brown with mould. We didn't meet Anne-Laure but she left us the keys and told us how to reach the apartment. She had left towels and bedsheets which were dirty but she changed them after we contacted her. The kitchen has the basic supplies necessary to make simple food. Everything in the apartment works well as far as we could tell. Nobody ever bothered us when we came home late nights, but I don't know if I would feel safe walking the neighborhood alone, on the other hand Paris in general gives off a not so safe feeling at night. Overall we had a nice stay despite the initial shock of the small room, lack of cleanliness and the stuff which I assume belonged to Anne-Laure (it felt like we intruded at first). The room had what we needed and we didn't spend much time there.
The small apartment is well located and only a ten minute walk from the station Gare du Nord. Our communication with Anne-Lauré before our arrival was very helpful and she gave us enough directions on how to get to the apartment and around the local area. She provided us with a city map including some local tips and instructions for the wireless internet and TV. The apartment was tiny and unfortunately not clean enough to feel comfortable in there. We definitely expected the room, especially the bathroom, to be much cleaner. Linen and towels were fresh though. The bed is definitely only designed for small people, as it was no longer than 1,70 m. Nevertheless, we still enjoyed our stay in Paris!
I stayed at Anne-Laure's place for 4 nights total. The first two nights my friend stayed with me. It was a bit cramped with all of our stuff in it, but manageable. After he moved out, I had a lot more space. The bathroom was rather stuffy and small, but decent. The location of the apartment was pretty good as it is near a metro station. The location is not really sketchy. It's just very diverse. Anne-Laure, though I never got to meet her in person, was a great host! The commute from the Beauvais airport (thanks to ryanair) was very long and I could not make to our meeting time so arranged another way for me to get the key and checked up on me to make sure everything was ok. In the apartment, she provided a welcome packet and was accessible through airbnb.
My stay at Anne-Laure's studio apartment in the 18th was excellent. Anne-Laure was very accommodating, firstly giving me an excellent run-down of all the places I would need to know in the area then providing particularly flexible check-out times on my last day (no guests were booked for that night). The studio itself is small but homely, providing everything you might need in after a long day exploring Paris. It was also quiet and I enjoyed a good night's sleep each night. I found the area in the 18th arrondissement to be nice and lively with a 1-2 minute walk to a good boulangerie and supermarket. There was a lovely community garden next door (which I unfortunately didn't have time to discover properly) and I enjoyed a short jog to the top of Montmatre for sunrise on more than one morning. I'd be more than happy stay at Anne-Laure's apartment again!
Very nice appart)
Me and my boyfriend stayed there for a few nights. The flat is pretty small so it can sometimes get uncomfortable, but that is not really a problem, because you are not in the flat a lot. The connection to the city centre was good, because the metro station was near, and the lines really take you anywhere in Paris. The neighbourhood was low-income, but lively, we liked that a lot. Anne was really helpful with the house guide, and if you have a question, she answers really fast. For this price, a good stay!
My boyfriend and I stayed for four days in the apartment. Location was great - close to 3 metro stops and a 5 minute walk to Gare du Nord. The neighbourhood is very multicultural which was great! We loved the local arabic shops, and at night people gathered at the cafes and kiosks - great local mood. Everything we needed was just around the corner. Anne-Laure was a great host, she met us on time at the apartment and provided information about the flat and Paris. She replied quickly on our questions via text. The pictures are a little old and off, but overall we liked the apartment and it had everything we needed. Great price for a flat in Paris. We loved it.
My girlfriend and I stayed six nights at Anne-Laure's appartement and we had a very good time in Paris. The pictures are a little bit old and misleading, but as long as you don't expect too much it's alright. The appartement is not very clean and there are a few little things that bothered us: the tap was loose, the upper side of the closet was already full with clothes, there was no storage space left under the bed (it was already full with other stuff), the cupboards above the bed were crooked and the paintings that were supposed to hang on the wall rested on those same cupboards which left no space for our own stuff. But on the other hand, Anne-Laure was very helpfull and nice, candles were lit when we came in and even though we were ONE hour late because of our train's delay Anne-Laure was waiting for us in the appartment and was not upset at all. She responded very quickly every time and was a great host. The neighbourhood is save and crowded even at night which gives a secure feeling. Altogether, it's a nice appartement with a good location for this great price.
References (1)
Anne-Laure is a great host : she cares about her guests and she is always available to help us. Her flat is really cute and well decorated, ideal for a young couple who wants to visit Paris. It's close to Montmartre (10 min), metro at 5 min by feet and close to Gare du Nord. Do no hesitate to organize yoru trip at the Anne-Laure's flat !

The Newest Whitney Mansion Is An Incredible Dollhouse Copy of Their Own Kentucky Home
A well-run house? Yes. But as a miniature dollhouse, fantastic! Mistress of it all is 16-year-old Cornelia Whitney. But the guiding hand is that of her mother, Marie Louise Whitney, fourth wife of Cornelius Vanderbilt (Sonny) Whitney, the multimillionaire sportsman-industrialist. Marylou was a bride of two weeks when Sonny first brought her to Maple Grove in Lexington, Ky. Worm-eaten floorboards gave way beneath her feet and there were even snakes in the basement. Marylou took Sonny's hint that she "make some changes," and turned Maple Grove into the show-place of the bluegrass country.
Six years ago, Marylou listened again when Cornelia, then 9, said "she wanted a dollhouse that looked like our home," and rebuilt Maple Grove all over again—this time in miniature. The second effort proved by far the more arduous. Headed by Maple Grove's carpenter, Ernest Hughes, who turned out to be a master model maker, the whole staff was soon whittling, sawing and hammering. (As Marylou pointed out to Sonny, "The men didn't have enough to keep them busy on rainy and snowy days during the winter.")
Using discarded dentists' tools for work too fine for fingers, the men turned out American antiques to scale; the women became expert at making coat hangers out of paper clips and sewing draperies and clothes. Meanwhile, Marylou threw herself into tracing Maple Grove's history, from a 1782 fort. (The result, just published: Cornelia Vanderbilt Whitney's Dollhouse, $25).
"I get goose pimples when I think about that house," says Mrs. Whitney, in New York to exhibit the dollhouse for charity. "The rooms are so full of happiness." Happiness isn't all. The rooms require a daily dusting (even the silver must be polished). And hearing that the lady of the house may hit the lecture circuit, her three Kentucky staffers shudder. "It took a whole week to pack the dollhouse," grumped Mrs. Jouett Redmon, wife of Maple Groves' caretaker "and another week to reassemble everything."

The share price of Coca-Cola (NYSE:KO) has returned 9% over the past 12 months and just reached its 52-week high at $40.90. The stock represents a solid long-term investment given the company's healthy fundamentals and wide moat. However, in my view, the current price level does not warrant a buy based on the following five reasons:
1. Coca-Cola shares appear to be fully priced based on the firm's financial performance relative to that of PepsiCo (NYSE:PEP), the company's closest peer. According to the chart shown below, Coca-Cola's two-year consensus revenue, EBITDA, and EPS growth estimates are below PepsiCo's figures. But the firm's five-year EPS growth estimate is slightly above PepsiCo's level. On the profit side, however, Coca-Cola demonstrates a better performance as the firm's various profit margins are above the peer benchmarks. Both companies' ROE and ROIC metrics are fairly comparable. In terms of debt and liquidity, both firm's leverage level are more or less similar. PepsiCo has a slightly higher free cash flow margin, but Coca-Cola's interest coverage ratio is notably higher due to the firm's stronger profitability. Again, Coca-Cola's and PepsiCo's current and quick ratios are quite consistent.
Coca-Cola's current price multiples at 13.8x forward EBITDA and 18.7x forward EPS (next 12 months) are on average 15% higher than the same multiples of PepsiCo, completely reflecting Coca-Cola's superior profitability performance (see chart above). However, I believe the fair premium should be slightly lower given Coca-Cola's relatively weaker near-term growth potential.
2. Coca-Cola's forward P/E multiple is currently trading at a 28% premium over the same multiple of S&P 500 Index, which stands at 14.6x now. This relative valuation level does not look cheap provided that Coca-Cola's long-term earnings growth rate at 9.0% is not far above the average estimate of 8.2% for the S&P 500 companies and the stock's 2.8% dividend yield is also just slightly above the average of 2.5% for the S&P 500 Index. In addition, even accounting for the long-term EPS growth estimate, Coca-Cola's PEG ratio at 2.1x is still 17% above the average of 1.8x (14.6x forward P/E and 8.2% long-term EPS growth estimate), again evidencing a somewhat pricey valuation.
3. The share price has risen substantially by 13% year to date. Nevertheless, the market's consensus revenue, EBITDA, and EPS estimates for 2013 and 2014 have all experienced notable downward revisions over the period, suggesting the shares have become increasingly expensive (see charts below).
4. The U.S. Dollar Index has experienced a material appreciation between February and March 2013 (see chart below).
Given the fact that more than 50% of Coca-Cola's total revenue is derived from oversea markets, the company's Q1 earnings should be more or less impacted by the stronger dollar. However, this negativity does not seem to be reflected in Coca-Cola's rising valuation (see chart below).
5. Of the 19 analyst ratings compiled by Thomson One, there are six strong buy and seven buy ratings. However, their average one-year price target of $42 is only 3% above the current share price. Even considering the 2.8% dividend income, the risk/reward bet does not look attractive, especially if you believe there is a pending market correction.
Bottom line, as Coca-Cola's shares become pricier without any positive fundamental developments, investors should wait for a pullback instead of buying now.

Trained in London during the 1980s, Nicola Tyson is now based in New York, where she staged her first solo show in 1994. Tyson describes her work as 'psycho-figuration' through which she examines issues of identity, gender and sexuality. She depicts mainly solitary female figures, typically set against minimal or flatly painted backgrounds. Often these figures begin as self-portraits that are then contorted into androgynous beings. With Curtain Figure, the title may suggest a veiling of the female body. Yet the physical presence has been radically metamorphosed beyond fixed sexual identity. Nicola Tyson's work signals the return to painting as an expressive medium among the generation of artists who emerged in the 1990s.

I hate to put too much emphasis on opening week, and this was just one of 16 games for everyone in the league after all, but if I'm the Bills, Saints or Eagles I might be a little worried right now. Of all the action over the weekend, I found their displays most disconcerting, especially for clubs with elevated expectations.
Pretty much everything that could have gone wrong for the Bills, did go wrong. The Meadowlands ravaged them. Quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick came out throwing picks all over the place and actually trying to challenge Darrelle Revis. Fred Jackson suffered another knee injury early, and David Nelson went down late. The "new-and-improved" pass rush went out with a whimper with Jets right tackle du jour Austin Howard handling Mario Williams, the highest-paid defensive player in league history.
It was beyond ugly, and the score doesn't do justice to just how thorough this beating was. Short of C.J. Spiller putting up form fantasy champ stats, largely in what amounted to garbage time (anything beyond the early part of the second quarter would qualify as GT in this instance), it was a total washout for Buffalo. The injuries could have lingering ramifications and, for a team that was planning on making a move up the AFC East standings, getting drubbed by the under-duress Jets is a double whammy; now Mark Sanchez and company have some swagger back, while the Bills have to be wondering if it's the same 'ol situation up in Western New York, bloated payroll or not.
|More on NFL Week 1

|More NFL coverage
For all the preseason hype about the Bills, Fitzpatrick scared me, and Sunday was a prime reason why. He threw three picks, his ball looked sloppy, his accuracy was off. He simply has not been the same cat since signing his extension, and this goes beyond Fred Jackson being hurt or bad luck or whatever. Since Nov. 1, 2011, Fitzpatrick has a 1-9 record. He has thrown an NFL leading 19 interceptions in that span (John Skelton and Matt Stafford are tied for second most, with 15 since November). He's completing 58 percent of his passes in that 10-game sequence, with only 13 touchdowns and a woeful 66.5 rating -- 25th in the league).
I'm not sure that just gets quickly corrected. I also have a hard time believing that Dave Wannstedt is going to be the guy to galvanize Buffalo's defense and get them attacking the quarterback and turning teams over the way their roster indicates they could.
And I'm also not so sure all that ails the Saints can be righted immediately.
Some scouts in the NFC South believed the biggest area in which the loss of coach Sean Payton would be felt was in regard to Drew Brees' decision-making. The quarterback has a tendency to force things at times -- and when you are ridiculously as good as he is, you want some of that. But Payton is the guy to reel him back him, set him straight and correct things.
Without that influence, as games played out, and if things were not going the Saints' way, these scouts felt like that trait might end up undermining the team, and there certainly were times Sunday that Brees seemed to be trying to do too much, too soon. The offense never really got in sync until it was desperation time, and Brees nearly got Jimmy Graham killed by sailing some throws over the middle. Everything was a bit off.
On the other side of the ball, that defense is in trouble. Even getting Will Smith, their pass rusher, back on his suspension reprieve, they lacked any real bite. People who have worked with new defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo point out it generally takes a team half a season to catch on, and then the results can come quickly. There is a definite adjustment period going on here.
The Redskins came out essentially running the Baylor offense to get Robert Griffin III comfortable: screens, a few slants, very basic stuff. The Saints could mount no sort of pass rush (if Cam Jordan doesn't step up, that's going to remain an issue). They got gashed in the run game, Say what you want about Gregg Williams, but his scheme covered up a lot of warts there, and if this bunch isn't well versed yet in this new defense, that's going to be a problem.
I was bullish on the Saints coming into the season, and I'm not ready to kick them to the curb after one stinker of a home opener. But the more they seem less invincible at home, and if they can't score into the 40s every time they show up, that margin for error gets pretty tight.
As for the Eagles, pretty much anyone who has paid attention to football could determine that Mike Vick -- his health, his decision-making -- held the key to their season. Maybe that Kevlar he was wearing caused a bizarre reaction in his brain, but he was going arm for arm with Fitzpatrick on Sunday, matching him with each ill-conceived throw.
Vick ended up with four interceptions, pretty much single-handedly keeping the Browns in the game (Cleveland's offense actually found a way to make 2011's putrid game film look scintillating), and he could have easily thrown a half dozen picks. Opposing coordinators want to squeeze him in the red zone, because as the field gets smaller his mistakes and misreads get magnified, and he was dead-set on challenging Browns stud corner Joe Haden with the game on the line, throwing into bad matchups, forcing a ball into double-coverage in the end zone in the dying seconds still trailing by six inside the 10-yard line.
Full props to him for the check-down that resulted in the winning touchdown, but I can only imagine the angst and bloodletting going on in Philadelphia talk radio today coming off this opening debacle. How long before the calls for Trent Edwards begin?
Some general managers aren't sure that some of that will ever go away with Vick, and that this is simply who he is. Yes, Vick was masterful a few years back -- healthy, reading defenses well, playing to such a high level that he was rewarded with a new contract. But that was a long time ago. Not sure he's getting back there. And at some point the loss of star left tackle Jason Peters is going to manifest itself.
Still a lot of football to be played here, and the Eagles have abundant talent. Vick won't be this poor every week. But if the quarterback play doesn't elevate greatly I can't see Philadelphia going as far as some have suggested. Like the Saints, I still see playoff potential. But some major corrections are warranted.
Extra pointsCan't help but notice the speed with which the Pats are playing with now on defense. Wasn't that long ago that plodding guys like Tedy Bruschi and Junior Seau were running around there linebacker, but the entire pace and tenor of that group has changed. Their selections of Chandler Jones and Dont'a Hightower paid immediate dividends against the Titans, as they were overwhelming at times. Bill Belichick has more weapons to tinker with there than he has in a long time, and I still can't help but think at some point Andre Carter is healthy enough to be re-signed (and Brian Waters still may end up back at guard for them on the other side of the ball, should the sides be able to find a reworked contract and work conditions that get him back on the field).
• The Titans and Panthers better spend some time on the run game this week. Heard rumblings in Tennessee that Mike Munchak worked them pretty hard late in camp, and maybe some legs on the offensive line and in the backfield were getting heavy. Of course, in this era of no two-a-days, I'm not sure how many sympathetic ears there would be in that regard. These two teams are still throwbacks in a way, and without a physical run attack, they are going to suffer.
• Kevin Kolb makes an easy target to criticize, but not enough is being made of what he pulled off Sunday when Skelton went down late in that game. Kolb was masterful coming in cold, leading a winning touchdown drive and got the Cardinals a big divisional victory that could turn things for the better there. After all of his struggles the past few years, and his lost preseason, he deserves some kudos here. As much as the locker room may lean more to Skelton, the coaches there want nothing more than for this Kolb experiment to work, and at some point I see him starting there again, possibly quite soon.
• Blaine Gabbert managed to take his improvements from the preseason into the regular season. He continues to look much more at ease in the pocket, no more happy feet, keeping his eyes up. He damn near led a winning drive with a late touchdown, but the Jags had me scratching my head in overtime, on fourth and 3, when rather than run some slants and several underneath options, Gabbert was forcing things to a double-covered receiver deep. And Maurice Jones-Drew will be starting by Week 2, after becoming a big factor for the Jags over the weekend as that game went on, despite his 38-day holdout.
• Gonna be a long, long season for Brandon Weeden and Ryan Tannehill. I mean a long season. They were totally overwhelmed, and Weeden looks very rote and raw. How he translates from his college offense to the NFL is a big question. Wouldn't be surprised if one of these teams is drafting a quarterback in the first round again next year.
• Watching more offensive linemen go down in games yesterday I can't help but wonder when someone signs veteran guard Montrae Holland. He is fully recovered from a triceps injury, had what sources told me was a great workout for the Cowboys recently, but the sides could not come to terms on an incentive package and thus the deal got scuttled. He could add a burly element to a team in need, and with the Rams losing a few linemen and New England being a little short at guard, at least until or unless Waters shows up, I would think Holland's phone would be ringing soon.

'American Horror Story: Freak Show' sets its October premiere date
We always knew that the latest installment of Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk's "American Horror Story" would have an October premiere. All three prior installments did, so why should this one be any different?
Now, however, we have an actual premiere date for "American Horror Story: Freak Show."
The 1952-set "American Horror Story: Freak Show" will premiere on Wednesday, October 8 at 10 p.m. on FX.
In addition to familiar pieces of the "AHS" reparatory company including Jessica Lange, Sarah Paulson, Evan Peters, Frances Conroy and returning players Kathy Bates and Angela Bassett, the new season has added Michael Chiklis, plus Wes Bentley, John Carroll Lynch and Patti LaBelle among many, many others.
FX describes the season thusly: "'American Horror Story: Freak Show' begins its tale in the quiet, sleepy hamlet of Jupiter, Florida. The year is 1952. A troupe of curiosities has just arrived to town, coinciding with the strange emergence of a dark entity that savagely threatens the lives of townsfolk and freaks alike. This is the story of the performers and their desperate journey of survival amidst the dying world of the American carny experience."
Because you never know exactly what you're gonna get with "American Horror Story," I'll certainly be looking forward to the new season, even though I had to force myself to finish "Asylum" and I dropped "Coven" very early on.
This "teaser" doesn't really impact my enthusiasm in the slightest:
How are you feeling about "AHS" these days? Are you interested in carnies?

If they endorse the product, they should except the full return of the product. Instead, they tell you to contact the Mfgr. I think not. That usually dosn't go well. Theses drive are junk since like 1198 at least. had 5 desktop drives and two externals just quit! All data lost! Im pretty sure they program them to fail after a certain amount of time right in an IC chip inside the unit. Stateing a strong opinion here and not a fact as i cant begin to prove the allegation. But when there is one possibility that just makes sense, well, you be the judge!
It is not worth putting your data on a hard drive any longer! Go back to CDs or DVDs and protect them. They will soon figure out how to make thoses fail just seeting on the shelf too before long. They are pushing for you to store all your info on other internet servers called cloud storage! They have all the acces to your data if you use internet anyway. Keep your personal stuff personal. Dont use the computer you store stuff on online period! If, you want it to remain personal!

The blog of the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation
Drawing from a mix of personal imagery and cultural sources, Emily Jane Wood weaves strong personal mythology in multiple media.
I met Emily Jane Wood at the Hamtramck Street Festival over Labor Day Weekend, and could tell immediately from her range that I was dealing with an individual who carries the mixed blessing of having multiple expressive gifts. This week I paid a visit to her studio in Hamtramck, which confirmed my suspicion that Wood has no shortage of outlets for her obsessive treatment of subject matter.
Wood may render the same reference material, especially specific "totems," over and over, as with this Hamtramck house in photo, needlepoint and ceramic. The original structure is now gone.
The "wig head" displays in downtown Hamtramck beauty supply stores are another of Wood's totems, rendered here in a ceramic mug and magnet.
Several of Hamtramck's most iconic churches appear obsessively in Wood's work, though in a totemic rather than religious capacity.
This inspiration seems drawn in equal parts from a loving and decade-long connection to life in Hamtramck, her vast array of research materials (Wood appears to be a master of internet sourcing for art books, fabrics and other creative fodder), and an eclectic educational background that includes a Bachelor of Science in Anthropology from Wayne State, a Masters in Molecular Biology, and studies that stopped short one year from completion of her PhD. Despite her long investment of energy in a science career, Wood sees that her path lies elsewhere.
One of Wood's Dia de los Muertos felted skulls in progress.
Wood pays homage to her conventional history, with felted versions of the all-to-familiar inter-office mailing envelope.
It takes a special kind of person to head down the road less traveled by, particularly when one has made a great deal of headway along conventional routes. But to hear Wood tell it, it wasn't much of a choice. "The essence of art," she says, "is doing what you can't not do." In Wood's case, there seems to be little that she can't not do. From her background in 2D drawing and painting, she has expanded into ceramics, lately working as an apprentice to Pewabic Pottery. She hooks rugs, makes quilts and creates intricate felted wool assemblages featuring totemic objects and appropriated cultural histories that bear the earmark of her experience in anthropology.
Though much of what Wood does–such as this intricately detailed hooked rug–might be termed "craft," she shies at the term, pointing out that many things relegated to the arena of craft are, perhaps, "women's arts."
Totems are a major subject of the day, with Wood and I in agreement on the power of personal mythology. Each object you create holds power, Wood says, and each time you use it, touch it, interact with it, you increase your power. If that is true, then Wood's little studio on Sobieski Street is a veritable power plant of creative energy, and only time can tell what it will bring to light.
Shine on, Emily!
You can catch up with Emily Jane Wood at the Pewabic table at DIY Street Fair Ferndale this weekend, or through her website. Though there is not a lot posted on her Etsy page, you can contact the artist with questions, inquiries, or compliments on anything you see here!
DIY Street Fair Ferndale: Sept. 13, 14 & 15 at 9 Mile Road & Woodward; DIY Street Fair Ferndale. Admission is free.

Images from Oaxaca: Day One
Oaxaca is a pretty neat place. The streets are all cobblestone and there's an ancient feel to the place. Best of all, it doesn't seem too touristy. After a short nap, I spent the afternoon wandering to get a feel for the place. I had a couple of local beers, followed a parade, watched a wedding, dodged a quick rain shower and had dinner with Darin, my soon-to-be-roommate. I wanted to stress getting a lay of the land today instead of taking photos so that's what I did.
Here are a few shots that I did get:
What Do You Mean, You Oversold?
So, after a relatively uneventful 8 hours from Seattle to Mexico City, i'm faced with an airport of unnatural proportions. Wandering aimlessly trying to figure out where to check in, I end up checking in, not once, but three times at three different counters. I spot my bag sitting all by itself next to, what I can only believe, is a baggage belt left over from the 60′s. Once I get that straightened out, I trek across two buildings to find out that the flight could be in one of two buildings, but it won't be announced until 60 minutes before the flight. Of course, it was in the building where I wasn't!
Like an extra in the Walking Dead, I stumble over to the gate which,Continue reading...

Sites have been down for 15+ hrs now, I've been up all night trying to figure it out - with no luck.
I ftp into the server and can see ALL the files there, so I'm thinking that there must be some small file issue somewhere but I don't know where to begin.
Looking for some direction, I've reviewed and looked through most of the post relating to this issue, but they don't seem to have the same problem as me.
