This letter that was sent to me stating that I had won $3,341,006.00 is suspicious from top to bottom. You Are Officially Sworn To Secrecy, Absolutly Confidential. Then told to enclose $20.00 for the report -release fee! Also, the small print claims that subscribers are solely resposible to investigate the rules and restrictions for this sweepstakes.
I did this and I could not find any information on the sweestakes. The lack of phone numbers and web info. or any other kind of contact help made me very suspicious. I also did an online Google search for LVAAP, and found "RIP-OFF consumer reports" by 40-50 others who had done the same and had received the same letter with the same winnings amount. One victim said they received a second letter sstating that they needed to send another $20 for the next phase of the contest. (Please check the site, and see for yourself). I have never even heard of the LVAAP before today and I hope to never hear from them again. I also hope that others that receive this letter do not get fooled by this scam!
I am a business owner in Florida for 23 years, and I find this disgusting. I hope you can do something to help protect vulnerable people from this scam artist. Thanks for your time, Tim Rhoads.

I'm a black sheep, admits John Ibrahim at re-opening of Underbelly club the Tunnel
- From: The Daily Telegraph
- April 26, 2010
HE MIGHT be the King of the Cross, but John Ibrahim has admitted his fiancee Chelsea Mitchell rarely frequents his after-dark world, describing her as a "good girl" and he as the "black sheep" of their relationship.
Ibrahim spoke candidly of his five-year romance at Saturday's re-opening of the Tunnel nightclub, the Kings Cross hotspot he first opened in 1988, when he was just 19.
And Mitchell, he said, was at home doing a university assignment.
He and the 23-year-old, a design student at a private fashion college, have been photographed together at Bondi Beach but they are rarely seen as a couple out on the town.
"This really isn't her scene," he said at the Sydney club. "She's a good girl from a good family. I'm the black sheep."
Seeking shelter from the Underbelly: The Golden Mile publicity storm, Ibrahim fled Sydney for Dubai earlier this month. But he returned last week for the relaunch of the Tunnel, perhaps capitalising on the name that features in the current Nine series.
Ibrahim said there was "a lot of stuff going on back here, a lot of rumours, so I came back early".
He added: "I thought it would have all died down by now."
Police were at the club in force, with eight uniformed officers and a drug sniffer dog lingering outside the club early yesterday with officers doing walk-throughs of the venue.
But police denied it was a special presence for any potential trouble, saying the night went "smoothly".
Ibrahim, meanwhile, mingled with the invitation-only crowd flanked by chief security guard Tongan Sam for most of the night. Girls in stilettos and short skirts clamoured with their cameras for a photo with Ibrahim.
Absent from the launch, however, was Firass Dirani, the actor who portrays Ibrahim in Underbelly.
The Tunnel was reincarnated first as EP1 before morphing into Dragonfly -- and footy-player-central.
The $400,000 redesign has moved away from the sleek, black disco-feel of Dragonfly to a plush, Moroccan-themed modern setting. Walls are of faux sandstone and adorned with antique, gold-framed mirrors.
"I say every five years [you need to renovate]," Ibrahim said. "This place has been done about five times."Originally published as I'm a black sheep, admits Ibrahim

I would like to have a page that displays my entire blogroll, ie. all links that are visible. In my sidebar I'd like to only display links from certain categories.
However, any links widget I've added to my sidebar displays ALL categories with visible links, no matter what I do. I've tried the WP links widget, Breukie's links widget, and Morgan's Replacement Links Widget 0.3. I've tried specifying the category ID, even selecting single category. Still every visible link displays. Morgan's has a drop-down list mode that works and only displays the category I specify, but I don't want a drop-down.
What is going on here? Any help is sincerely appreciated.

The Fly On The Wall
SAGE 10:47 BMO expects SAGE's positive stock momentum to continue BMO Capital analyst Gary Nachman views the Phase 2 severe postpartum depression data from SAGE Therapeutics as "impressive and better than most anticipated." SAGE-547 showed a very clear signal that it has durable activity in postpartum depression and the data justify moving forward aggressively with the program, Nachman tells investors in a research note. SAGE-547 is a "potential game changer" for SAGE as there are no currently approved therapies specifically indicated for postpartum depression, the analyst contends. He expects the stock's positive momentum to continue and keeps an Outperform rating on SAGE.
Thanks for the post. I read the Wall Street article and what I really liked was they said TWL Corp. Has Plenty of Money $$$$
Sentiment: Strong Buy
You are correct.. this is the future and The Big Boys Will Pay $ Billions for TWLO services.

Review: 'Justified' - 'This Bird Has Flown': Chicken run
A review of tonight's "Justified" coming up just as soon as I download the song about looking for a rainbow in every storm...
"How much you know about this girl?" -Rachel
"This Bird Has Flown" probably wasn't as compelling as some of the other season 4 episodes so far, if only because I don't really care about Lindsey one way or the other. I haven't minded her in the past, but nor have I felt a need to see more of her in the way that, say, Joelle Carter popped off the screen as Ava back in season 1.
Ultimately, though, I think the episode worked because it didn't really hinge on that question of where her loyalties lay. It was about Raylan trying to talk himself into something that he knew probably wasn't true, just as the episode's B-story featured Ava going into similar contortions about Ellen May, when she had to know, deep down, that they would wind up having to kill her.
And I appreciated not only how the two stories paralleled each other — and both ended with the woman of questionable loyalties disappearing into the wind — but how Graham Yost and company have been structuring the season so far. There's the big mystery arc lurking in the background (and only touched on briefly tonight; see below), but for the most part, it's a string of smaller events, with one leading to the next, and then to the next. Randall shows up a few episodes ago, then Lindsey disappears with him and Raylan's cash. Preacher Billy turns up for a few episodes and dies(*), but it turns out that the real threat is the spiritual rebirth he's inspired in Ellen May, and the damage she can do to Ava.(**)
(*) I thought that was something of a mistake, the way this episode treated Billy's death as accepted fact. Yes, his odds weren't good of surviving the bite, but the way the information was delivered here felt anticlimactic, especially given how good Joseph Mazzello was in his three earlier episodes.
(**) Ava's arc this season very much brings to mind that line from the "Boardwalk Empire" pilot where Jimmy tells Nucky he can't be half a gangster anymore. That, or Mike Ehrmentraut's line to Walter White about the danger of half-measures. She's either a full-on part of a criminal empire, or she's out.
The other part of the episode I quite liked was the work it did in continuing Operation: Tim and Rachel, here focusing on the latter and her budding friendship with Raylan. Four episodes in, I do feel like I can discuss actual character traits for the two of them. We can see that Rachel, for instance, likes and/or respects Raylan a bit, whereas Tim just sees him as a pain in the ass. They both enjoy mocking him, but Rachel is also looking to him as something of a mentor, in a way very evocative of McNulty and Kima in "The Wire," and I hope things turn out better for Rachel than they did for Kima.
And because of the way these episodes have been structured, with some kind of surprise at the end of each hour that sets things up for what the next show will be about, it's hard to get too hung up on a particular episodic story. After all, I got to spend an hour watching Raylan Givens banter and shoot people with bean bags. Ain't nothing wrong with that.
Some other thoughts:
* The Drew Thompson mystery gets put on hold this week, save for a fleeting, intriguing clue: Shelby is reading the autopsy report when his deputies bring Cassie in. We know Shelby was also a cop in his younger years, and I'm assuming he'll have some connection to the case, as well. More Jim Beaver is never a bad thing.
* Ron Eldard hasn't had a lot to do so far as Colton, but we get our first sign that the man isn't quite as comfortable with killing — at least, with killing women (and/or innocents) — than he seemed when he was introduced in the season premiere.
* Always glad to see Navi Rawat, who pops up for a short but memorable scene as Gina, the woman who jokingly offers to wrestle Raylan. Hope this wasn't a one-shot deal for her.
* To bring in just one more cable drama comparison, it was hard not to think of a certain "Sopranos" scene while Ellen May was riding in the car with Colton, even though she seemed to understand much less of what was going on. (Or was faking it better, based on her apparent escape at the gas station.)
What did everybody else think?

Alex V (guest)Any chance Ellen May was taken? We know there's a mole in Boyd's operation and Wynn Duffy could use an advantage over Boyd? Or what if (and this is a long shot) the preacher's sister took her for many of the same reasons? Think about it.January 30, 2013 at 12:12AM ESTReply to Comment
LRtoo cheesy and contrived. She ran, for good reasonsJanuary 30, 2013 at 3:10AM EST
KEh. It seems plausible to me that Johnny could have tipped off Wynn and Wynn may have kidnapped her.January 30, 2013 at 5:26AM EST
Alex VIt just seems like she had no inkling of what was happening. And it's plausable to me only because I can't figure why they'd rehash the whole preacher scenerio if only to have Ellen May run away? Granted it could turn into a Russian in the woods scenerio where Boyd just stresses out about when she will show back up and but I'm not convinced this show deals in those sorts of ambiguities. You're probably right. Maybe I'm just over thinking it.January 30, 2013 at 11:02AM EST
meghanEllen May is a moron. She could never connect the dots that her life was in danger, let alone in the amount of time Colton was in the bathroom. I don't buy that she ran off.January 30, 2013 at 3:08PM EST
BigGreenMatI thought it was pretty obvious she was taken. First off she is positively ecstatic when she is told she can go back 'home'. No inkling of what the call actually meant (not to mention she isn't the sharpest tack). Also the knock on the door when Colton is in the bathroom was obviously one of the abductors. They saw their opportunity. One of the them grabbed Ellie Mae, the other knocked on the door and was going to shoot Colton as soon as he opened it. The fact he just yelled and didn't open it because of needing to do the drugs just took too long and the abductors just left.
If she did just run off, then the knock at the door and the pump in the truck make no sense. I can't believe they would be that careless (unless they changed their minds on the direction to go after shooting these scenes and didn't do a reshoot).February 5, 2013 at 12:25PM EST
Steve2I figured Ellie Mae got picked up by the preacher's sister.
No way Ellie Mae would run off on her own. She's been clueless since the series started. Including this entire episode and particularly the car ride.
Jim Beaver's character told the preacher's sister that if she had anything on Boyd that they'd take him down. She didn't know Boyd was listening and Beaver's helping him. But she does know Ellie Mae has the goods on Boyd and she wants revenge for her bro's death.February 5, 2013 at 3:13PM EST
toonsterwuI hope that isn't the end for Jenn Lyon. I was starting to enjoy her and they started shading in some things about her today, making her more than Raylan's girlfriend. Although the tough, independent woman aspect was sort of shown last season as well.
Wonder how much more, if any, they do with the chicken and fighting stuff. Seems like they must have something more, after setting up so much.
The Shelby tie-in to the Drew Thompson stuff would be interesting. I loved the fact that he hung up on Boyd today.
Wonder how they play the Ella May stuff? I like the twist that the real threat was Ella May and not the preacher, but it feels like there could be something else with Cassie.
All in all, a fun episode that moved briskly.January 30, 2013 at 12:13AM ESTReply to Comment
big tonyI don't think we've seen the end of Lindsey. Someone had to tip off that pyschic about the Raylan/randall fight. My money is on a connection between the pyschic and Lindsey which all ties in to the Waldo Truth mystery.January 30, 2013 at 11:28AM EST
Jaxemer11I hope it is the end of Lindsey. I don't hate her, but she has nowhere near the chemistry with Raylan that Ava or Winona had.January 30, 2013 at 11:34PM EST
Nick Christie (guest)Sadly, this was in my opinion the worst episode since perhaps the first season. I love this show, but man tonight was hard to watch. A get-rich scheme that involves taking a cop's money to start a chicken ring? A "fighter" who literally cannot stop fighting and is mind-numbingly one-dimensional (sorry, two-dimensional if you count chicken-dreamer), a blonde who just ran off to do god knows what over a paltry sum of money/chickens, and Raylan ONCE AGAIN turning his back only to get jumped and yet managing to avoid certain death because the girl thinks he's charming. The Elle May storyline was sadly predictable, although at least somewhat poignant, but man, all the Raylan stuff was disasterously cliche.
Anyway, I just couldn't stomach the mounting ridiculous scheme and Raylan once again narrowly escaping death for his own stupidness. Sigh... at the least next week we get back to Arlo and Wynn. God knows we deserve some Wynn for sitting through tonight.January 30, 2013 at 12:21AM ESTReply to CommentLike (2)Latest Likes:2 Anonymous
Tony MHappily, in my opinion, I thought it was the best episode of the year....January 30, 2013 at 1:11AM EST
CinemaPsychoYou know what, sometimes criminals really ARE actually stupid. I know we're not used to seeing that on TV, but it's true. The great thing about Justified is that smart people behave like smart people, and stupid people behave like stupid people.January 30, 2013 at 2:45AM EST
LoopyChewElmore Leonard is known for writing 1) stupid people on either side of the law and 2) people on either side of the law who are too smart by half. That's part of the formula that makes it fun!January 30, 2013 at 8:16AM EST
SlamI'm done with Arlo, was disappointed to see him in the teaser for next week. The backyard fighter thug will be a great villian. The show keeps bringing in these beautiful women, but Ava Crowder still numero uno. Stunning.January 30, 2013 at 1:56PM EST
Jaxemer11I have to agree with you. I haven't been this bored with an episode of Justified since Season One. The stuff with Boyd was great (as it always is), but the Raylan storyline was boring. And worst of all, there was no Art in this episode. The beanbag gun was great though. Raylan needs to get himself one of those.January 30, 2013 at 11:37PM EST
HollywoodaholicMy complaints are the obvious Southern California location's, Ava's $400 styling haircut, and the other details that are really starting to take away from the original backwoods bumpkins appeal of the show. I understand that, surviving four seasons, the cast are starting to feel their oats and look more like movie stars, but let's not forget no matter how much crime pays in Boyd's world, you still can't buy taste.January 31, 2013 at 11:48AM EST
joelThe Ellen May storyline was predictable, but she's such an idiot bumpkin that I have a hard time believing she pulled over Meryl Streep-quality acting on Coltin.
But what really stunk of poor writing was Lindsey, who apparently is planning the long con as a bartender in low-rent neighborhood bar. It doesn't make a whole lot of sense, and feels more like the writers quickly jetisoning a character or actress they'd changed their minds on. Really weird writing all-round on this episode, definitely one of my least favorite of the series, even if it did have quite a few funny moments.January 31, 2013 at 1:17PM EST
I don't think see was planning the long con at the bar. I think she just got turned on to the excitement of her old life and took a chance at a quick buck instead of grinding out a shitty wage at a hillbilly bar. She was never going to be more than Raylan's rebound from Winona anyways.February 1, 2013 at 1:42AM EST
Nick Christie (guest)Oh, and one more thing: no one dies of rattlesnake bites any more. I googled Rattlesnake statistics, and apparently if you're treated within six hours, you're 99.7% likely to survive a bite. And even if not treated, you're still 95% likely to survive a bite, particularly one not on your face. Maybe they assume that city people think rattlesnakes are cobras or something, but that's another sloppily weak conclusion by the writers. Less than 25 people in the entire country die of venomous snakebites each year. If they did in fact call an ambulence, that preacher was fine. And if they didn't, he'd still be fine unless he was profoundly unlucky.January 30, 2013 at 12:30AM ESTReply to Comment
Wowie Kazowie"I googled rattlesnake statistics." Take a moment and really savor that phrase.January 30, 2013 at 12:35AM EST
Nick ChristieHa, well since I live in an area with poisonous snakes, and have gone hiking in the Appalachains I wanted to reassure myself that there wasn't some new superbreed of Kentucky river rattlesnake that was going to kill me. Luckily, there isn't.January 30, 2013 at 12:43AM EST
ChampSkinsI also did a quick little google search... turned up this article: http://wtvr.com/2012/06/03/snake-handling-preachers-death-shines-light-on-lethal-appalachian-tradition/
Says about 100 practitioners have died since 1909 handling snakes. Not as uncommmon as you would think...
I imagine Yost and company did their research on this before they had it happen.January 30, 2013 at 1:37AM EST
Nick ChristieHahaha, this is what happens when you post on the internet. Okay, if having a 3/1000 chance is legitimate enough for everyone, as well as the fact that annual deaths from rattlenake bites is above zero in this country (but below 10), then yes, the writers did their homework.January 30, 2013 at 2:37AM EST
DarkdougI thought they said it was some other breed of snake when Boyd brought it in. Maybe it was more poisonous.January 30, 2013 at 4:54AM EST
Andrew@Nick: "if having a 3/1000 chance is legitimate enough for everyone". This is a TV drama, not a documentary. Are you saying the only things that can happen are those that naturally occur in real life? Not even reality shows or cooking competitions can claim that. As far as I can tell, the only show that follows that rule is...Ellen.January 30, 2013 at 10:12AM EST
ChampSkinsThe article I provided wasn't about having a 3/1000 chance, it was the fact that preachers who deal with snakes do actually die a decent amount. It isn't THAT far fetched as you make it out to be.January 30, 2013 at 10:32AM EST
JohnWell, *untreated* rattlesnake bites are often fatal. That was the problem with that preacher int he article linked to. He waited eight hours before calling for medical attention, and it was too late by then. But according to Wikipedia (yeah, I know, but it linked to what looked like a reliable source--it was the US Department of Agriculture's Web site, which in turn cited a study in the New England Journal of Medicine) the survival rate of victims treated within two hours of a bite (which seems like it certainly could have happened here, given that they were in a town) is greater than 99 percent. Also, approximately 7500 (it says "between 7000 and 8000) people are bitten by poisonous snakes in the US each year, and only about five die. That means that your odds of dying after you've already been bitten are about 1500 to 1. So while it *could* happen, especially if he foolishly refused medical attention (though there was no mention of that), it still seems pretty unlikely. At any rate, I'm actually glad the writers killed him off because those snakes were creeping me out. I couldn't even watch the final scene last week, as I knew it was going to end with him bitten (I just listened).January 30, 2013 at 10:49AM EST
Mean GeneI was also thinking that it was very, very strange that we didn't actually see the preacher die. And that he would've died from a rattlesnake bite, which I knew (though I'm not a herpetologist) usually aren't fatal. It's just very odd that the writers expected the viewers to assume that when Billy got bit it was a death sentence.
And it seemed like such an easy "win" for Boyd--show the preacher and his sister weren't as holy as they seemed, bring Ella May back to the fold, move on. Which makes me wonder if Billy actually did die, or if Ella May was indeed sent back to Boyd and Ava to distract them from other plans Cassie might have. She told Shelby she was content to let God handle Boyd's punishment, but the look in her eye said that she wasn't going to be that patient.
Which makes me wonder, if Colton tells Boyd that he did indeed kill Ella May (to cover up for letting her escape), and later on she and Billy are both "resurrected" and start preaching again, how might that affect Boyd and Ava?
Just a thought. Because treating Billy's death as obvious, as something that didn't need to be shown or even directly addressed, raised a red flag to me.January 30, 2013 at 11:26AM EST
dondon19Preachers who handle snakes do it to prove that they believe and are protected by God. If they get bitten they do not seek medical intervention - to them that would be tantamount to admitting they do not believeJanuary 30, 2013 at 11:27AM EST
Jonas.LeftSomething that happens less than once a year over the course of a century is, indeed, a rare occurence. Of course, plausibility and likelihood are not the same.
Besides which, Raylan's career is becoming increasingly unlikely.January 30, 2013 at 9:08PM EST
nathDonDon is right. Snake-handler preachers do not seek medical attention as part of their religion. They feel like they will live or die from the snakebite as God intended. If that's ridiculous to you, you don't understand how their religion works.January 30, 2013 at 10:00PM EST
Mean GeneDon't think I said it was ridiculous, just not very well spelled out that he'd died. And I daresay most viewers wouldn't know that snake-handlers don't seek treatment, and then there's the fact that for a young, healthy male there's still a reasonable chance of surviving a bite. My point is that there's ambiguity here, and I don't know if it's the writer's deliberately leaving doors open or if they just didn't think Billy's death was important enough to dwell upon.January 30, 2013 at 10:29PM EST
Jaxemer11I imagine he didn't seek any medical attention. It seems like a preacher like this (who really believes what he is saying, and is not a shyster) would believe he should leave it in God's hands whether he should live or die. Isn't that how his father died?January 30, 2013 at 11:40PM EST

Tony M (guest)What's terrific about Justified is that you really never know what people are going to do. It was just possible that Raylon shot Randall with a real shell - the dark streak in him was that real. And Eva and Boyd's shifting feelings about Ellen May made the final call to have her killed that much sadder. Great episode.January 30, 2013 at 1:26AM ESTReply to Comment
CinemaPsychoSo they were really talking about "sending her to Alabama" at first? Because I wasn't sure. Somehow I knew they would wind up killing her off, so I wondered why they were monkeying around with euphemisms they clearly didn't mean.January 30, 2013 at 2:41AM EST
LoopyChewAva was. Boyd wasn't.January 30, 2013 at 8:19AM EST
Tony MHe was driving her to the bus station, per what Ava said earlier. And I think it was clear when he got Boyd's call, that it was a change of plan and that he wasn't all that happy about it. That's why he went to the restroom to snort heroin to prepare himself. I also thought Boyd and Ava's last conversation was clearly about a fresh decision.
If they wanted to kill her from the start, they could have done it easily in Harlan. Why get cute about a girl no one is going to miss?January 30, 2013 at 10:24AM EST

joelHis death was weirdly abrupt but it would not be the first time Justified brought in a well-respected character actor only to jetison them quickly. He could still be alive but even the sheriff acknowledged his death, and death is hard to hide from the law. Plus it's going to be awfully hard for this whole thing not to get sort of silly if his sister is setting up some elaborate, devious trap for Boyd.January 31, 2013 at 1:13PM EST

Chris (guest)So, maybe this is a stretch, but I thought that Ellen May was actually in cahoots with the preacher and his sis. Hear me out. She tells Boyd that his face was all puffy, etc. Boyd walked away right after the bite, so he likely didn't see him die. Justified has never been squeamish about gore, so why not show him die rather than just some throw away comment. The sister could easily be keeping the preacher hidden. She's probably also smart enough to not mention that she knows Ellen May's secret to the sheriff. At the end, she could have run off or been secreted away by the sister. It's a long shot, but maybe...January 30, 2013 at 2:42AM ESTReply to Comment

Darkdoug (guest)Regarding the McNulty-Kima comparison, it worked out okay for Kima, IIRC, since she was a successful detective at the end of the show, while McNulty went out on his ass. I'd say that McNulty provided her with a warning about consequences as well as lessons on how to be a cop. And it WAS Kima who turned him in at the end, after all. Kima was on her way down McNulty's personal path before he started mentoring her professionally.
Art suggested Rachel should take a lesson from Raylan last week, and maybe these close-up looks at Raylan in action will serve as a kind of early-warning sign to her.January 30, 2013 at 5:02AM ESTReply to Comment

shalom82 (guest)I was recently thinking that this show is still one of the very best on tv, and briefly flirted with all-time greatness in season 2, but what it really needs to be worthy of inclusion in Sepinwall's follow-up to "The Revolution Was Televised" is one thing and one thing only - Garet Dillahunt.January 30, 2013 at 7:33AM ESTReply to Comment
Ucity (guest)First shot taken by Raylan this season?January 30, 2013 at 10:45AM ESTReply to Comment
HaynieA few notes:
- I'd really like an update on Arlo. Not like we didn't last see him kill a man or anything. I'd have thought Boyd and/or Ave would have gone to see him byw now, unless he's in solitary.
- How hard is it to drive the van back to the seller, tell him they were bought with stolen money, flash a badge, and get the 20k back? Maybe that just reinforces the sincerity of Raylan's comment to Rachel about how he wasn't really supposed to have it to begin with.
- Colton's casual murder of the oxy dealer and his issues with Ellen May seemed slightly inconsistent to me. There all kind of logic you can apply to make it work (man vs. woman, viewed the dealer as a traitor), but that was a big leap in reaction from one murder to another.
- When Raylan first staggered into the bar at the end of the episode I couldn't really tell where he was. I actually thought he was showing up at Winona's, which would have made sense as he just lost all the money he was putting away for the baby.January 30, 2013 at 10:49AM ESTReply to Comment
SlamI thought the same thing about selling back the chickens, but the guy handcuffed to the van woulda told the law, then Raylan's in trouble. The only way he gets his money back is killing the thug, then selling the chickens. But Raylan doesnt want to go that deep. Not his style, Tyoical Elmore Leonard character; jst shrugs off the moneyJanuary 30, 2013 at 2:08PM EST
chasI felt the same way about the load of chickens. Randall wouldnt have said anything. He was already going back to jail for a parole violation, he wouldnt admit to breaking more laws. As for Colton killing the oxy dealer, he may have been drugged up beforehand or just find a moral difference between a guy dealing and a poor dumb country girl that hasnt done anything.January 30, 2013 at 3:53PM EST
Kyle Rovinsky (guest)I don't get the obsession with Tim and Rachel. They're minor characters-- who cares? Or perhaps better said, why not care about Lindsey (you basically said you dont) but do care (apparently strongly) about other second-tier characters?
And a another Wire reference! Oy vey.January 30, 2013 at 12:22PM ESTReply to Comment
saraI care. Having well defined secondary characters leads to a better show. Plus Tim gets some of the best lines and his and Rachel's relationship to Raylan is sort of important to defining the character. Raylan may be a good Marshal but time and again he has been shown to be a crappy co-worker and a so-so friend. I think this helps to keep his character interesting and less one-dimensional then if these relationships didn't exist. Personally I found Lindsey interesting both as a character and as an example of Raylan's questionable taste in women but don't really care one way or another if she sticks around.January 30, 2013 at 12:56PM EST
franimaljonesWasn't there a different blonde bartender Raylen was hooking up with last season? I don't remember that obnoxious voice on the last one. Alan, I don't care about Lindsay either. I hope she is out of the picture.January 30, 2013 at 1:25PM ESTReply to Comment
bitchstolemyremoteEnjoyed the episode enough considering it is more or less a stand-alone. The outcome of the Lindsey side was a little predictable (though the bean bag bullets are fun). More interesting is the Ellen May debacle and Ava's embrace of criminality. Colt's gonna be in trouble though!

Ken from Chicago (guest)It would be cool if Ellen May (I keep wanting to say "Ellie May" as THE BEVERLY HILLBILLIES) belatedly sussed out Ava wanted to kill her, just as it took her a while to figure out her being sent away was because she knew about the killing. If she can get off the drugs she could prove to be an intriguing--and savvy--character on the show.
Yes, I love more development of Rachel as a character. Nice to see she's as good as her word. She warned whathisface about sticking blades in her face. "Lady don't blink!"
Oh, Lindsay, yeah those beanbag shots to her husband reminded me of THE WALKING DEAD's Carol wacking her abusive infected husband in the head with the axe in season 1. By the end, even Darryl was a bit scared of her pent up rage.
Jim Beaver and the preacher's sister was a scene of pure beauty--as his character took a virtual pick axe to Boyd Crowder's character.
Whoa, I totally didn't recognize NUMBERS' Amita offering to wrassle with Raylan. Impressive.
Yeah, I like all this season's splitting the difference between straight episodic one-and-done stories and huge over-arcing stories. Theses multi-episode stories do weave in and out of the limelight quite well--along with some nice dialogue.January 30, 2013 at 3:17PM ESTReply to Comment
Ope (guest)First episode of the season that I did not enjoy. The positive was the scenes with Rachel and Raylan. That worked well I thought.
I did not care for the girlfriend story, especially since we don't need any more incidents to drive home how messed up Raylan is.
What really irked me was The last few minutes. First, it looks like Boyd's war buddy (forgot his name) had a tear in his eye after Boyd called him, like killing the girl hadnt been contemplated already. Then he snorts oxy? I don't remember there bein any indication previously that his dirty work is troubling him and that he's taken to drugs (because of it?). Just found that a bit sudden.January 30, 2013 at 5:42PM ESTReply to Comment
Jonas.LeftMy fingers are crossed for Ellen May (dang, I thought it was Ellie Mae). So far this season, E.M. is my biggest interest. I feel so bad for her sorry situation, surrounded by powerful people who don't really care about her. You can't sentence someone to death for convenience sake if you actually care about them. This reminds me of The Godfather II, when they murdered the prostitute so they could blackmail the senator. I despised the Corleones too much to care what happened to them after that. Everyone matters. Even nobodies like Ellen May. I used to love Ava. Now I hate her guts.January 30, 2013 at 9:57PM ESTReply to Comment
ChesterfieldI used to think it was Ella-May.
Anyway, the show has really empathized with her this season, being naive, dumb, weak an unable to fend for herself. She is a victim, both of her own inadequacies and people taking advantage of her because of them. I love, LOVE what they have done with her so far this season, and Ron Eldard's moment in the car when he got the word was a really emotional one. It was actually undercut by her getting away, like the show decided "nah, that is too f***ing dark".
Also, that story was much more gripping than Raylan's this week, but that's been true for a while about Justified, that Raylan's stories aren't always the best or most important ones.January 31, 2013 at 5:41AM EST
Jonas.LeftSome people thought it was implausible that Colton could feel so bad about E.M. after killing so casually before, but she's just so sweet. I totally buy that he would be conflicted after getting to know her a little. As far as her disappearance goes, I'm not sure how it'll play out. If she ran off to avoid her fate, then she isn't as dumb as she seems and she has one hell of a poker face.January 31, 2013 at 5:59AM EST
ChesterfieldI'm willing to wait and see what the show does with that (her getting away) before passing final judgment. If it's interesting, I'll let it slide, but if she ran off because she realized she was in danger then everything she has done so far in the show has been an act and her sweetness entirely faked. That, I think, would be a mistake.
But as I said, I'm going to wait and see. Besides, Justified has always been more clever than that, especially in its portrayal of people who are not that bright.January 31, 2013 at 7:07AM EST
firstname.lastname@example.com think even an idiot like Ellen May could figure out what was up. It's not like she hasnt witnessed a murder and been around seedy people all her life.
Also I think she reminded me of a dog being taken off to the vet to be taken down. All she needed to do was hang her head out the window.January 31, 2013 at 11:29AM EST
Jonas.LeftI hate to see her called an idiot. I think she never got a fairachance in life. Its notable that going to a random motel is brought up but not staying with family. She has all the characteristics of a victim of abuse, and she could be adept at reading the signs of someone intending her harm. That's how kids survive in a an abusive environment, realizing daddy is about to go off and getting out of his way.January 31, 2013 at 5:52PM EST
firstname.lastname@example.com: I agree. This whole season so far, I have been thinking about what a tragic figure she is. I also think that Jizzmo is right about the "dog going to the vet" analogy, as I picked up on that as well and it was almost certainly intentional on the writer's part. The thing is that that interpretation sort of is done at her expense, almost mocking her for being pathetic, which is why I'm kind of hoping, despite what I said before, that she managed to figure it out herself.
As I said, I'm a bit worried but I'll hold off making judgment until we see where this goes.February 1, 2013 at 5:51AM EST

Jaxemer11There is no comparison between Kima and Rachel, and that is because there is no comparison between Sonja Sohn and Erica Tazel. I love this show, but I think the Rachel character is awful. I hate to say it, but I think most of the blame lies on Tazel, who can't deliver a convincing piece of dialogue to save her life.

Residential Leak Detection Services
American Leak Detection of Oregon offers various leak detection services to our residential customers. We utilize non-invasive proprietary technology without digging up the place.
We use electronic and sonic listening equipment to accurately locate leaks even under concrete and asphalt. In addition we induce helium, an inert gas into the lines. We then use an analyzer in order to determine where the helium is escaping to verify where the leak is coming from. Once we find it, we flag it for repair or replacement.
It takes a blending of expert specialists and quality equipment to detect hidden leaks. With our extensive training programs and state-of-the-art equipment we have saved homeowners billions of gallons of water. By utilizing our methods, not only are we saving water, but saving homeowners millions of dollars in costly property damage and destruction as well.
While it is true that leaks are more common in older properties, newer properties can have problems too. Poor construction and corrosion and in many cases, ground movement can cause unexpected pipe damage at any time. If undetected, the problem threatens property and makes repairs more costly.
Our Pledge
The mission of American Leak Detection is to find leaks in a manner that is non-invasive, efficient and environmentally sound.
We will give prompt, professional and courteous service to all customers, while providing the best leak detection services in the world.

Customer Testimonials
Clint was very efficient and skilled.
Kathy was very helpful in scheduling and billing the appointment.
Great team.
Bill W - Medford, OR
Hello Jenny,
Thank you for sending the report for the service performed at my home on July 10, 2015.
Eric and John saved the day! They came out to look for three sprinkler valves. They found the first valve after only a few minutes but the next two valves proved to be much more difficult. They were determined to find the missing valves. They stayed positive throughout their search and even answered questions that my husband had over the phone. I think they were just as happy as I was when they finally found the valves.
I am always complaining to my husband about how no one ever goes above and beyond anymore. He'll be happy that I can't complain about that anymore because of Eric and John!
American Leak Detection should be proud to have two dedicated representatives on their team. I have already been telling everyone about the excellent service we received that day.
Thank you!

On today's show, the global arms race for admissions. Then, most beauty pageants test the mettle of contestants in categories like the evening gown and swimsuit competition, the Mrs. America pageant has a history of judging contestants a bit differently. College Applications & Admissions: What's New By The Exchange • Dec 23, 2015 Flickr/CC It's crunch time for many High School seniors putting finishing touches on essays and collecting recommendations in hope of landing that acceptance letter come spring. Colleges, meanwhile, are preparing to sort through those materials, as they re-consider the whole process: what really matters and what doesn't. GUESTS: Getting In: What It Means To Be "College Ready" By The Exchange • May 7, 2014 unh.edu We're continuing our series "A Matter of Degrees" with a look at what it means to be college ready.

Version 1.5-beta-1 2005-01-21
This is low priority, I suppose, but I installed the nightly from 21 Jan and everything seems to work great except for the Dashboard. For some reason, the index page isn't getting processed past the call to
<code>$rss = @fetch_rss("http://wordpress.org/development/feed/");</code>
(line 92 of wp-admin/index.php)
Nothing after that gets processed as far as I can tell. I haven't modified the page at all, and it works fine on a local install (so I wouldn't call it a bug), just not on my remote host. I've checked to make sure the correct path is being used for the rss-functions.php include, and the file is complete as far as I can tell. Any ideas? Anyone else have this problem? It's not that big a problem, really, since everything else seems to work, but I'd love to know when the dev blog is updated, and it's so much work to actually paste in the URL...

But that is what you had to do to get them. Finally one day I was told matter of factly, "We have filed bankruptcy". I really got screwed because I paid the full $1835. Never could get them again. Then one day I had a check to bounce. There was no reason for that to happen since it was in an account that I only used for special transactions. I found that a company call Healthcare Plus had ACH'ed my account for $79.50. Never heard of these people. Never did business with these people. Wondered how they got my account information.
Guess what (Warranty USA) gave it to them. My bank worked with me and retrieved the $79.50 back, and reversed the NSF fees. Then these people debited my account again. While promising me a check was on the way for their error. Never happened. Thanks to my bank I did not lose on this one, but I was forced to close this account in order to stop the ACH's. I am certain thousands of other people weren't so lucky on this. I am still out of $1835 plus the money that I still owe the Mercedes dealer. There has to be a law against this. These people had to have fraudulent intentions initially.

#1 UPDATE EX-employee responds
John Common/Larry Choy/Healthcare Plus
AUTHOR: Brock - (U.S.A.)
SUBMITTED: Thursday, May 29, 2003POSTED: Thursday, May 29, 2003
I resigned my position with Chinook Holdings dba HealthCare Plus, in early December, 2002.
I appreciated the information you gave me during our phone conversations last year. That information "inspired" me to do some research.
As a former employee, I would now appreciate it if you would no longer associate me with that company. I made a mistake when I accepted the position and I fixed my mistake.
FYI Eric resigned about 4 weeks later.

|Spatial heterogeneity of fish larvae across a meandering current in the northwestern Mediterranean
|Sabatés, Ana; Salat, Jordi; Masó, Mercedes
|Shelf-slope front
frontal oscillations
Meandering current
fish larvae
NW Mediterranean
|Issue Date:
|Deep-Sea Research Part I: Oceanographic Research Papers 51(4): 545-557 (2004)
|Physical and biological coupling in frontal zones presents a high spatio temporal variability as a result of both the hydrographic complexity of such systems and the biological activity of the organisms. A permanent frontal system (density front and associated current), parallel to the bathymetry, is present in the shelf-slope region in the Catalan Sea (NW Mediterranean). This study presents the results obtained froma detailed examination of the frontal systemand larval fish distribution in a small area in the Catalan Sea, over the span of just a few days. A repeated transect of 11 stations, spaced 2.5 miles apart, was sampled across the front. The shelf-slope front presented a meandering structure with a wavelength of about 50–60km and an amplitude of about 10–12 km. The position of the frontal system on successive transects was shifting gradually, fromquite close to the edge of the shelf to about 10 kmtowards the open sea. This shift may reflect a frontal oscillation due to the passage of a half wave of a meander. During the phase in which the front draws nearer to the shelf, slope to shelf exchanges take place, with fish larvae accumulating on the coastal side of the front along with very low concentrations fromthere oceanwards. During the phase in which the front moves away from the shelf, shelf to slope exchanges take place, and fish larvae were beginning to be dispersed so that high larval concentrations were shifted in an oceanwards direction. While there were still relative accumulations on the coastal side of the front, these accumulations were not nearly as pronounced. On that occasion there was heightened upwelling on the oceanic side of the front with local peaks in chlorophyll biomass in this region. The results presented here have revealed not only that the fertilization mechanisms are associated with the front but have also shown that oscillations in the front have a decisive role in supplying nutrients to the photic zone on an intermittent basis. The temporal scale at which the frontal system oscillates also exerts a decisive influence on processes affecting concentration/dispersal of larval fish populations

Crunchy leaves, shiny penny loafers, dirty pencil shavings, cached lunch money, trendy backpacks, butterfly tummies, and the bright yellow school bus – it must be back to school season. The anticipation of meeting a new teacher is remembered ephemerally as one of the joys of school days. Children in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province of Pakistan on the border with Afghanistan are not making these memories. Three million school aged children, two million of which are girls, are not enrolled in basic education. The plight of these children was highlighted by the tragic shooting of child education activist; Malala Yousafzai aged 15, on 9 October 2012 as she rode home on a bus after taking an exam in Khyber Pakhunkhwa's Swat valley.
Around half of the total population of Khyber Pakhtunkwa is illiterate and less than 30% of females are literate. The weak and outdated Khyber Pakhunkhwa public education system has been impacted by successive crises but the local government is committed to turning it around. The Khyber Pakhtunkwa government has set several priorities to increase the number of children enrolling in and successfully completing quality primary and secondary education, including: improved and more equitable access to education, improving the quality of learning in schools, improving the curriculum, improving textbooks and learning materials, improved infrastructure, and improved governance and management.
Adam Smith International is serving as DfID's managing organisation for a five-year Khyber Pakhtunkhwa education sector programme to assist the provincial government with its ambitious plan. The programme could be given up to £123m in an education service delivery grant, from DfID and AusAid, if it meets its performance milestones. So far two tranches of capital have been issued as a result of the local government meeting its targets. As part of the programme, Adam Smith International is assisting the local government to establish sound public financial management to receive and disburse this funding appropriately. The province's senior leadership meets with the Adam Smith International team regularly to review and analyse data and take stock of progress.
Key outcomes for the Adam Smith International managed programme so far include: 1500 lesson plans have been developed which, for the first time, are aligned with the current curriculum and textbooks. Primary school teachers are being trained in how to use lesson plans. A confidential corporal punishment hotline has been set up for students or parents to report physical punishment. The local government has distributed a cash stipend to girls across the province for attending school. UK Secretary of State, Justine Greening, said: "I saw for myself the transformational education programme DfID is helping to fund in Pakistan. I met girls with big ideas about what jobs they would like to do when they became older – teachers, doctors, scientists. I remember when I was growing up in Rotherham in the 1980's, I had ideas – I wasn't sure what they'd amount to, but I knew education was my first step. They knew it too and who knows what they can achieve with the opportunity."
Malala Yousafzai's nomination for the Nobel Peace Prize in 2013 is raising awareness among parents and communities of the benefits of educational opportunities in Khyber Pakhtunkwa. The DfID-funded programme is helping to improve community engagement with education providers. There is also huge potential for the private sector including not-for-profit organisations in Khyber Pakhunkhwa to widen access and enrollment in education, especially for girls and young women, and to develop opportunities for innovative approaches, such as, skills training. As the seasons change from winter to spring, there is hope that when autumn approaches this year more children in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa will experience homework, bouncing erasers, desktops with chairs connected and the joy of school days.

A Giant Dump
Whether train, plane, or automobile, you'll probably find me sketching, trying to achieve some level of mastery where I don't even need to think, and being an amazing artist is just second-nature effortlessness. In pursuit of that Excellence I've made just one discovery--
I'm an idiot.
The more I sketch, the more I learn, And the more I learn, the more knowledge I have to recall and really consider while shading her upper lip or whatever on a bouncy bus.
So! Instead of achieving effortlessness, I'm achieving the opposite--being able to put in more effort, more thought, more design. I still have a heck of a long way to go to be Excellent, but here are a bunch of drawings from over the course of the last year.
Enjoy. Or don't. Cheers.

My overdue return, with a couple of newbies.
That's my new son, Miles Markowski! But real life and work has resumed as usual, back at WB for a time, working on Beware the Batman, a few Green Arrow shorts and a Batman short, all before I start my new job at LEGO!!! Life is good, and super busy, but finally I found time to finish these--
the first is a tribute to all those great old episodes where they land on planets that have a whole Greek/Roman thing:
And the second is a possible fate of the Enterprise as shown to Kirk by the Guardian of Forever! Enjoy!

Mural Follow Up
After 3 long, grueling sessions, we finally finished painting the 30'x 5' mural I designed in the previous post! It would not have been done, had it not been for the small army of painters I had to help!
Here are some photos of the werk, courtesy of Miguel Lee, Raina Ramirez and Paul Rogers:

Chanel Boy Messenger Bag, Black With Silver Hardware - Authentic

Chanel Boy Messenger Bag, Black With Silver Hardware - Authentic:
Hello and thanks for looking! This is a pre-owned CHANEL Boy bag that is 100% authentic! The bag was made as an accordion style messenger bag and is in very good condition. The exterior lambskin has little to no surface scratches as well as clean corners that can be seen in the picture. The backside of the clasp (on the interior) has some scuffing on it that can be seen in the 3rd picture, as well as the loops on the top of the bag where the chain slides through. I purchased this bag at a sample sale, so there was a tag inside the interior zipped pocket that read "SAMPLE" on it that I had removed. There is however, a mark in the shape of the label that remains on the interior cotton in the pocket as seen in picture 12. The bag does not have the authenticity card, it did not come with the bag when I purchased it, but the authenticity number is inside the bag and can be seen in picture 5 and the original dust bag is included.
