Do or Dieby Grace F. Edwards
A songbird is silenced ... by murder.With her soulful voice and delicate beauty, Starr Hendrix seemed destined to live up to her name and hit it big as a jazz singer. But her career ended before it began, and Mali's father offered Starr a second chance by giving her top billing as singer for his popular jazz band's latest show. Mali isn't surprised when Starr doesn't show -- but everyone is shocked when the troubled woman is found savagely murdered....The prime suspect is a low-life pimp with a grudge against Starr. But then the pimp stops a bullet -- and everyone suspects Starr's devastated father of exacting his own revenge. Mali vows to use her experience as a former cop to find the real killer. Her search will take her in and out of the "three B's" of Harlem: the beauty shops, barbershops, and the bars. But it will also lead Mali directly into the path of a killer -- one who, if not stopped, will almost surely strike again....From the Paperback edition.
If I Should Dieby Grace F. Edwards
An ex-cop's habits die hard.... Savvy, streetwise former cop Mali Anderson left the NYPD with a lawsuit and a lot of bitterness. Now she's on her way to a master's in sociology, living with her jazz musician father and mothering her orphaned nephew, Alvin. As Mali walks past the stylish town houses of Harlem's Strivers Row to meet Alvin at his rehearsal with the Uptown Children's Chorus, she hears a child's panicked screams--and witnesses a struggle. Mali thwarts the child's abduction, but as the car roars away, she finds a body in the street. The dead man is her friend Erskin Harding, tour director of the Chorus.The memory of her friend and the peril of her nephew drive Mali to track down the killer. It's a search that will take her from a gossip-filled beauty parlor to a dark, decaying crack house and--as anonymous warnings escalate into violence--could even lead her to her grave.From the Paperback edition.
No Time to Dieby Grace F. Edwards
A serial killer stalks Harlem's Strivers' Row...On a sweltering Harlem summer night, ex-cop Mali Anderson steps out to celebrate her friend Claudine's divorce from a handsome, cheating deadbeat who couldn't keep his fists out of her face. But Claudine doesn't show up for their dinner. Instead, she is found brutally murdered in her elegant home just off Strivers' Row, and Mali has no doubt Claudine's ex did it. Despite his threats, she can't keep out of the investigation. Especially when another woman meets the same savage, bizarre fate....The two murders are just the start of a trail that leads street-smart Mali through the trash-talking and wise philosophizing of barbershops, beauty parlors, and bars...and toward a cunning killer whose homegrown hatred is zeroing in on Mali herself.From the Paperback edition.
A Toast Before Dyingby Grace F. Edwards
Murder casts a shadow over the soul of Harlem....When she's not studying for her master's or dropping in on her father's jazz gigs, ex-cop Mali Anderson checks out the scene at Harlem's smoky Half-Moon Bar. She wasn't there for singer-bartender Thea Morris's birthday party, but someone else was--someone who shot Thea to death outside in the alley. Was it her boyfriend, now sitting in jail on suspicion of murder? His sister insists he's innocent--and wants her friend Mali to clear his name.Thea herself is a mystery: a lonely beauty in an apartment too deluxe for a woman living on tip money, with a gamut of lovers from an aspiring actor to an ambitious politician. It will take all Mali's savvy--and sources from street-corner buzz to uptown cocktail chat--to unravel Thea's life and death. And it will take her every survival instinct to catch a killer who will kill again to keep a deadly secret.From the Paperback edition.

Confession: Sometimes I'm A Little Bit Anxious About Becoming A ParentAlyson Brown
Sometimes, when I'm laying wide awake in bed at night, massaging my aching hips, my mind wanders. I smile when I think about the little person wiggling inside me. I picture looking up at my husband after I've delivered him and smiling together for the first time as a new family. I dream up many happy moments of our soon-to-be new life as a family and it makes me so emotional. But mostly, I think about how much life as I know it is about to be flipped completely upside down and I have to admit… that scares the heck out of me.
The funny thing about being pregnant is the emotional roller coaster it puts you on. There are days when I feel like I absolutely can't bring myself to wait any longer for our little man to arrive and then there are days when I wish I had a little more time. Don't get me wrong. Every single cell in my body is unbelievably elated to bring this little boy into the world and I know that I will love him with every single piece of my heart. However, when I start thinking about how different our lives will be, it really makes my head spin. On one side of the coin, I am ready. I am ready for sleepless nights, poopy diapers and worrisome moments as a new parent. But the other part of me really aches for the life I have now. I like the way things are. I like my routine. I like lounging in bed for as long as possible on Sunday mornings, skipping out on responsibilities for a day and heading to the coast or going out to dinner with my husband on a whim. I think of all the things that we won't be able to do for awhile and it honestly hurts.
However, I do have to say, I'm pretty sure I'll like my new life as a parent exponentially more than the life I've got right now. I mean, how could I not? I love my husband more than anything and the excitement that comes with seeing something that we've created together brings on a whole new level of emotion that I haven't even begun to experience before. I just think it's all a part of "not knowing". Not knowing how parenthood will affect me and how it will affect my life.
My Dad recently told me this: "You have love for your parents, for each other, for your friends, relatives, animals, possessions… plenty of different kinds of love. But you have never thought about, let alone felt, the level of love you are about to experience. It is so overwhelming and emotional, your emotions will overflow when you first hold him. Unbelievable is the only word you can use to describe it."
Thanks Dad. Even though sometimes I'm a little bit anxious about becoming a parent, I've got a feeling you're right.

Sam Smith is single-handedly keeping this blog afloat with trade rumors, at least rumors that involve Zach Randolph. Smith, writing for MSNBC today, even gives odds on the likelihood of Z-Bo being traded:
4. Zach Randolph, 2-1. Perhaps the most likely to be traded. With the drafting of LaMarcus Aldridge last year with Greg Oden to come, there's no place for Randolph among their youth and new determination to keep their players out of jail and strip clubs. Figure he goes to the East.
I'm going to go ahead at take a moment to defend strip clubs. They're legal. It's probably not healthy to spend an inordinate amount of time hanging out in them, but they're not inherently bad places. They're all over Portland. There are at least four within a mile radius from my house, and I've even walked into one without realizing that it was a strip club (true story!). If your goal is to comprise a squad of players that have never been to the bootie club, you're going to be fielding a lousy team. So say what you will about Z-Bo's behavior on and off the court, but cut the guy a little slack on the strip club front.
Smith also answers a question about Randolph later in the article:
Q: Now that Portland has gotten the first pick in the draft and will surely take Greg Oden does that make Zach Randolph expendable? I like Randolph's numbers, he's a 20 and 10 guy but is he someone John Paxson of the Bulls might consider adding to the core players they already have. Or is he too expensive and too much of a knucklehead to bring aboard? -- Clifford Harrison, Chicago
A: Let's go with the latter. He is expendable and I expect him to be traded. He's poisoned the atmosphere there too long and they can't risk it with Oden coming in. He will attract interest because of those numbers, but I don't see him for the Bulls because of the character issues, which have led to releases of players like Eddie Robinson and Tim Thomas, and his style of play in which he holds the ball a lot and dribbles himself into position. It doesn't fit with coach Scott Skiles' philosophy of movement and defense.
I'm guessing that Skiles holds the philosophy of winning ball games above that of "movement and defense." And how much movement does it take to be a jump-shooting team like the Bulls? Zach's not going to be curling off screens for 20-footers any time soon, but a guy that draws double-teams like Z-Bo does allows other players to get open looks. And who couldn't use that?

Skip to comments.18 Movies Too Un-PC for Today?
Posted on 04/25/2012 4:32:42 PM PDT by SMGFan
We'll soon see how far Sacha Baron Cohen goes as ''The Dictator''; in 2012, though, it's difficult to imagine any film could cross certain lines as casually as did these hits of the past
(Excerpt) Read more at ew.com ...
No Toxic Avenger??
A strong hetero dude surrounded by beautiful chicks wanting to shag same hetero dude..this is un-pc? Libtards today are just pussshy galore.
Animal House. Racist, misogynistic, and homophobic ('You homo!')
Kentucky Fried Movie was pretty fun, too. At least the portion entitled, "A Fistful Of Yen." "What was that? This is not a chawade. We need total concentwation. Now, once more, but dis time, wif feewing." ;)
The reason why it belongs on the list, the politically incorrect part, is the plot. Greedy corrupt politicians and hangers on wish to steal the land of private citizens in order to build a railroad, and the towns people fight back. Does anyone think landowners in present day central California would be portrayed positively if they interfered with a high speed rail line?
One of our favorite films is "Sargent York" with Gary Cooper.
The scene during the war, after he has captured all the Nazis and one of them throws off a grenade and York just shoots the enemy, no questions asked, no reading him his rights, just quick and honest justice for a cowardly act in war.
Nowadays, York would be brought up on charges and court martialed.
Love that movie and love that scene.
The Un PC Comedy Album of the Century...
Don Rickles "Hello Dummy"
How about the charecter that Mickey Rooney played in Breakfast at Tiffanys. He played the part of a buck toothed Japanese man with thick glasses. He looked like the Japanese in World War II propaganda posters. They don't make movies like that any more.
Whoever created this list seems to be seriously suggesting that there is something so wrong with these movies that they must not be screened.
Have America sunk that far?
"Breakfast at Tiffanys" is one of the ten best films of American cinema.
How about the Pink Panther movies? Clouseau's "little yellow friend"? Oh that's right - it's OK to make fun of Asians.
Yeah, I love Seller's Panther movies, but after seeing a few scenes recently after not seen them for many years, some of those lines are cringeworthy.
I didn't know that Nazis were involved in World War 1.
LOL, Germans. Forgot which war it was, sorry:(
Surprised that got made when it did. And I hear a sequel is in the works. Great film!
And I hated it when they bombed Pearl Harbor!
Of course that is not to mention all the contemptuous homo references......"Why don't you go back to your faggot 1st platoon?"
Ok, Ok, no need to pile on the ridicule for my mistake:)
I get it! I get it!
Haven't ever seen that film.
I think we will find that there are WAY more than 18 films from the past that couldn't be made today in the same form as the original.
But, hey, Hollywood is so devoid of any new ideas, they will probably take this list and use it as a start and remake them all in full liberal PC banality.
I'm surprised "Mandingo" (1975) didn't make the list. BTW, even though she was crazy, Susan George was hot!
Wonderful! Thanks for the link!
Everything about Sargent York is perfect. One of the best movies of all time.
Agree on the crap from Hollywood. I have not sat in a theater since Dances with Wolves, and never see any newer releases of anything to bother renting. A wasteland of gen-X/Y/Z garbage.
"So he blew a little whistle and they came down and began to gather around and throw down their guns and belts. All but one of them came off the hill with their hands up, and just before that one got to me he threw a little hand grenade which burst in the air in front of me.
I had to tech him off. The rest surrendered without any more trouble. There were nearly 100 of them."
From Sgt. York's Diary.
"2084", the movie version of "Harrison Bergernon", with a "General Handicapper" who MAKES everyone equal
Birth of a Nation (D.W. Griffith)
Network (Sidney Lumet)
Seven Days in May (John Frankenheimer)
All of these a little too close to the truth, viewed from today...
One of the most prophetic scenes ever, more relevant today than ever
Started reading and couldn't stop! Thanx for posting!
It really irritates me that liberals can only tolerate black people in the role of paragons, no wonder they like the Big O so much.
I'm not going to claim that GWTW is a documentary, but the fact is that Mammy is one of the most important (and good - in fact Mammy is a paragon) characters in both the book and the movie. I would say she is the 5th most important character after Scarlett, Rhett, Melanie and Ashley. For crying out loud Hattie McDaniel won the Best Supporting Actress Oscar (tradmark!) for that part. In 1939! Do they really think she was given an Oscar for playing a fool?
As to Prissy and her famous line "I don't know nothing 'bout birthing babies" the fact is Melanie (a frail woman) is going to have a baby pretty much in the middle of the siege of Atlanta and Prissy has been bragging that she's very familiar with this and has helped bring many children into the world. Well, of course she never has.
It's a laugh line in the middle of a crisis (and in fact if that actress hadn't been as good as she was nobody would have remembered it, she's like innumerable boastful teenage girls since time immemorial) but to The Left it's an irredeemable sign of how RACIST ALL AMERICANS ARE AND ALWAYS WILL BE AND ONCE AGAIN WE'LL BE REVEALED AS SUCH IF WE VOTE OBAMA OUT OF OFFICE OR THE NEXT LEFTIST DEM OR DON'T GIVE SOME OTHER ACTRESS AN OSCAR, ETC. ETC. ETC.
So, who can put up with this cr*p? They are insufferable.
PS to my own post, I looked a little further and as I suspected McDaniel beat out Olivia DeHavilland for best supporting actress for GWTW. And, to my mind, DeHavilland is really the best thing about the picture. Her portrayal of Melanie, who is very two dimensional in the book, is amazing; she makes her into a real person.
This is one of the few movies I put in the "perfect" category...its a work pf art where not one scene or exchange of dialogue can be improved in any way IMO...it's as good as it gets.
What about Charlie Chan films? or Tarzan pictures I must admit I did like the Gabonee Tribe—they didn't take anything from anyone—They only respected Tarzan—they would kill you and sing and play drums while they were doing it.
I saw it (part of it!) on cable TV. During the boobs-in-the-shower scene, my TV blew out.
Well, yeah! Right after they bombed Pearl Harbor!
Red Dawn's been remade. The bad guys are now North Koreans.
Guess I'll never get to see "History of the World, Part II"
I clicked on the thread specifically to see if Blazing Saddles was in the list.
Will now go look at the article.

Fermeuse, Newfoundland and Labrador, A0A, Canada
Bell Rock is a large, glacial erratic boulder located on Port Kirwan Road in the community of Fermeuse, NL. The designation is confined to the rock and five metres of land extending from its base.
Bell Rock has been designated a municipal heritage site by the Town of Fermeuse because of its aesthetic, cultural and historic value.Bell Rock has aesthetic value as it is a prominent landmark in the community. It is immediately noticeable on the northeastern access to Port Kirwan Road from the Southern Shore Highway, as well as many other vantage points throughout the community. It is a well-known landmark not only to residents of Fermeuse, but to people from surrounding communities as well. Bell Rock has cultural value for generations of Fermeuse residents who have a shared recollection of the cultural use of Bell Rock. The rock was always a popular site for the community's children who incorporated it into their patterns of play. Countless children have spent many hours climbing and exploring Bell Rock, cementing its sentimental value into the consciousness of past and present residents of Fermeuse. Bell Rock has historical value as it is a physical reminder of a way of life influenced by religion and communal values. Older residents of Fermeuse remember a time when a bell was once mounted on top of Bell Rock. This bell called parishioners to nearby Saint Charles Borromeo Roman Catholic Church for services. In a community whose population is almost exclusively Roman Catholic, religion played an important role in community activities and daily life. Bell Rock not only once aided in summoning parishioners to church, it is a reminder of the historic influence of religion in the lives of Fermeuse residents. Source: Town of Fermeuse Regular Council Meeting March 8, 2006
All those elements which represent the aesthetic, cultural and historical significance of Bell Rock, including:-unobstructed view of Bell Rock from Port Kirwan Road and surrounding vantage points;-location, orientation and dimensions of the rock, and;-continued public access to Bell Rock.

Marc J. Spears of Yahoo! Sports: "The Miami Heat, Houston Rockets and Oklahoma City Thunder have all inquired about Nene, but the Nuggets don't plan to trade him, a source with knowledge of the team's thinking said. The source expects the Nuggets to soon give Nene an extension offer."
Adrian Wojnarowski: "The Oklahoma City Thunder have inquired about Memphis Grizzlies center Hasheem Thabeet, but haven't decided on making an offer for the 7-foot-3 bust out of UConn. Thabeet was the No. 2 overall pick in the 2009 NBA draft and shuttled between the NBA's Developmental League and the Grizzlies' bench."
Brent Barry felt bad about shorting Serge Ibaka, John Rohde writes: "After Saturday night's dunk contest at Staples Center, judge Brent Barry apologized to a Thunder official for not giving a high enough score for Ibaka's dunk that wound up being the longest in the history of the competition. Each of the five judges — Barry, James Worthy, Dominique Wilkins, Clyde Drexler and Julius Erving — gave Ibaka a score of 9 on the dunk for a total score of 45. Judges are asked to flash their scorecards immediately and do not have the luxury of seeing a replay. Barry said he did not realize Ibaka actually had taken off from the free-throw line, which no dunk competitor had ever done successfully."
Chris Tomasson of FanHouse tweets: "Nene reiterates he wants to stay in Denver. 'This is where I want to be,' Nene told FanHouse. I have family here' … Nene says he wants to sign a contract extension with the Nuggets. 'I definitely hope I get one.' Talks are expected to go throughout season."
Video of Blake Griffin's introduction.
I wrote the lead for the Daily Dime.
Darnell Mayberry on last night: "Give Green credit for this one. He started off in foul trouble but shook off those early struggles and bounced back with a nice offensive performance. What stood out early on is how Green was making the most out of garbage. He found ways to score and capitalized on opportunities when the ball was swung his direction. Classic game for the man known as Uncle Jeff."
Berry Tramel on how Thunder fans played it cool: "First Griffin basket: no cheer. First Griffin foul: cheer. First Griffin missed foul shot: cheer. A throng that a few minutes earlier had waved palm branches at their worshipped hero suddenly treated Griffin like some nondescript Minnesota Timberwolf. Good for Oklahoma City. I'm proud of the crowd, which was no small reason the Thunder busted away from a monster Griffin start and waxed the Clippers 111-88 Tuesday night."
Oh, and Deron Williams got traded. So that's weird.

Fugitive caught in Bellows FallsMarch 02,2013
BELLOWS FALLS A 22-year-old Vermont man is in prison more than a month after fleeing a drug rehabilitation program.
Bellows Falls police said Zachariah McAllister, of Westminster, was found early Thursday hiding in a basement after officers tracked suspicious footprints in the snow to a cellar bulkhead at the Front Street apartment building.
There were two active warrants for McAllister. The warrants include burglary, unlawful mischief, drug possession and sales charges.
In January, McAllister accepted a plea agreement on burglary and other charges and was given an opportunity to participate in a Brattleboro rehabilitation program.
The Claremont Eagle Times reported that McAllister left the program early on Jan. 24 and he avoided capture for more than a month.

SEASIDE PARK — Two Ocean County residents were killed today after their car plunged into Barnegat Bay in Seaside Park.
Authorities are trying to determine how the 2003 Pontiac Grand Am driven by Sharon Stankard, 41, of the Whiting section of Manchester, ended up submerged in nearly eight feet of water.
The accident occurred at midnight, prompting several residents to call 911 and report hearing what sounded like an explosion in the area of J Street, said Seaside Park police officer Stephen Shadiack.
When police arrived two minutes later, they found a car submerged in the bay at the Berkeley Harbor Marina at the end of J Street on the bay, Shadiack said.
The borough fire department's SCUBA unit pulled Stankard and her passenger, Ralph Edward Wetmore Jr., 47, of Toms River, from the vehicle within minutes, Shadiack said.
They were rushed to Community Medical Center in Toms River where they were pronounced dead, he said.
Shadiack said police did not immediately know why Stankard and Wetmore were in the area and how the car ended up in the water. He said there were no signs of braking and no skid marks.
''It's like they made a straight run from the roadway into the bay,'' Shadiack said.
J Street ends at the entrance to the marina. Surrounded by a low wooden post-and-rail fence, the marina has a gate at the K Street entrance a block away but does not have a gate at the J Street entrance, said resident Joan Van Ginneken.
After driving into the marina from J Street, motorists must either turn left or right on a gravel and shell road to circumnavigate the boat slips. Instead of turning, Stankard's car continued straight and drove over the bulkhead and into the murky, 40-degree water, Shadiack said.
The top of the bulkhead, a low wooden wall in the water to prevent erosion, is nearly a foot above the roadway and was ripped apart near the marina entrance — damage that had not been there on Tuesday, Van Ginneken said.
Responding to the scene were the Ocean County Sheriff's Criminalistics Investigation Unit, the Ocean County Prosecutor's Major Crimes Unit and Fatal Accident Support Team, MONOC paramedics, a MONOC medivac helicopter and the Toms River and Tri-Boro first aid squads.
Van Ginneken, who lives three homes away from the marina, said her husband heard a helicopter overhead early Wednesday morning but neither she nor her husband noticed the police activity at the marina.
''It's such a tragedy,'' she said.
Van Ginneken said the road inside the marina serves as a cut-though to K Street, but she doesn't like to use it _ particularly at night _ because of its proximity to the water.
''I'm one of these people that are afraid to go by the water,'' she said.

(Walter Mayr's article appeared in Der Spiegel, 12/21; translated by Christopher Sultan.)
The message arrives at the last minute via email, and the tone is commanding. Meeting place: McDonald's. The conditions: No mobile phones or recording devices. The meeting time: now.
It's night in St. Petersburg as we approach the Nevsky Prospect and cross the bridge to the northern bank of the Neva River to a McDonald's near the Vasileostrovskaya metro station. Inside the crowded restaurant, young people sit hunched over their hamburgers and french fries. The wanted man, a well-built figure with a goatee, is sitting in the middle of the room.
At first glance Oleg Vorotnikov, born on Aug. 17, 1978, doesn't look like a man on the run, but rather like someone who refuses to believe that the police are actually searching for him -- and not only in Russia. In July, the St. Petersburg Dzerzhinsky District Court issued an international arrest warrant against Vorotnikov on charges of "hooliganism."
Vorotnikov ridicules this decision by the Russian authorities as "one of the highest forms of recognition" of his work and his political cause. He calls it a suitable form of recognition, given that he is not just any tramp or crazy anarchist. "I am one of Russia's most famous artists," says Vorotnikov.

He wore the traditional Burmese man's skirt, spoke with an out-of-town accent and, right up until the moment of horror, there was no suggestion that the young man was anything out of the ordinary. It was Friday evening and thousands of people were praying at the Shwedagon Pagoda, the golden monument that towers above Rangoon. Before the plain-clothes police could react, the young man whipped out a placard denouncing the junta and placed it round his neck. Then he produced a bottle of petrol, shook it over his clothes and set himself alight.

'T was midsummer 1990, I received a letter from Vince Fulginiti:
In May 1991, each of the AMA family of journals will devote all or most of their issues to articles that report individual and professional societies' ideas and suggestions for improving health care to the poor and underserved in this country.

So it has come to this: The great NFL running back is all but extinct. Wideouts are harder to differentiate because today's all-you-can-eat passing offenses have created a lot of receivers with a lot of catches. And the personalities of the league's best quarterbacks? Sorry, but there's not a Broadway Joe among them. If you ask Peyton or Eli Manning, Tom Brady or Drew Brees to discuss a game, each speaks as if he's embedded with a computer chip. They become as self-serious and homogenized as a closetful of gray suits.
Thank God, at least, for the swagger still coming from cornerbacks such as Seattle's Richard Sherman and Arizona's Patrick Peterson and Darrelle Revis, who is lying in the weeds now with the New England Patriots, his third team in three seasons, hoping to revive talk of Revis Island. And hey, Aqib Talib, you keep talking, too. Talib recently said he'd have chosen Peyton over Brady as the NFL's top quarterback even if he hadn't just left Brady's Pats to sign with the Broncos. "And he [Brady] knows that," Talib added, saying he had said it to Brady's face.
Cornerbacks are now the NFL's new divas, with their I'm-better Twitter beefs and preening and unapologetic talk about expanding their personal brands. They've roared into the void big-talking receivers such as Terrell Owens and Randy Moss and Chad Johnson used to fill, with Johnson's stunts such as sending a handwritten note and bottles of upset-stomach medicine to all four Cleveland DBs he was about to face. Today's cornerbacks seem unmindful of the paradox their chest-pounding behavior creates: They seem to have the NFL's most impossible job because of the unprecedented ways the league's rules are so slanted against them and passing offenses are conspiring to exploit them. Yet cornerbacks act as if they're in charge -- not the quarterbacks or wide receivers they face.
"No one should be able to cover [me] one-on-one," Atlanta wide receiver Julio Jones said the other day. "Nobody knows where you are going. With the speed and explosion I have, I don't think anybody can cover me unless they grab me because you are in a backpedal. I am coming at you 100 miles per hour. I can go left, right, any way I want to, or run right past you. You can't cover that. Not one-on-one."
"Matchup? This is a mismatch!" Sherman has been caught screaming on TV during games.
This is the logical endpoint of the way the NFL has been trending since the league forced defenses to go looking more than ever for some sort of kryptonite to stop passing offenses. So, if you don't like the preening that diva defensive backs are doing now, don't blame them. Blame the system that created them.
Cornerbacks' profiles are so elevated because they're more valuable to NFL teams than ever. And they know it.
Witness the unheard-of guaranteed money they're pulling down: $40 million to Sherman as part of the $57.4 million deal he signed on May 7; $45 million to Joe Haden, who just got a $68 million extension with Cleveland, the richest deal ever for a defensive back, less than a week later. Haden then celebrated in part by posting an Instagram of the new $200,000 Bentley Continental GT he gave his wife for their first anniversary.
Peterson should top them both of them when his contract negotiations with Arizona are done. But why wait? Already, Peterson calls himself the "Founder and President of #P2Nation!" ("It's a movement!") on his personal website. He started his Twitter beef with Sherman by asserting, "I actually do much more than he is."
Lockdown corners have never been at this kind of premium. Or felt so much license to talk.
"Yes, well, if you look at the league, it's been going to a more down-the-field, big-play offense thing; it's definitely become about quarterbacks and receivers, and defensive backs are just trying to match their fly," newly signed Giants corner Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie said Wednesday as we were standing by his locker, looking at his shoes. Or, more specifically, DRC's custom-made superhero-themed cleats. He has Batman cleats. Superman cleats. Captain America cleats. And red cleats with lightning bolts -- an homage to The Flash.
"I wear those," Rodgers-Cromartie explained, "when I'm feeling fast."
Asked what he'd have done if Victor Cruz ever did his salsa dance against him when he played elsewhere, Cromartie-Rodgers smiled and shot back, "We'd have had to go. I'd have gotten in his face." Why? "Because anytime you go one-on-one with somebody and at the end of the play, if they're celebrating, it kinda, you know... it hurts your feelings a little bit," Rodgers-Cromartie laughed. "I mean, you already caught the ball. If you do a little dance on me, too, you've got my attention. You are not gonna dance on me, too."
All this elevated noise might be irredeemably tiresome if it weren't seen as harmless fun by so many of the players involved. Many have said that all the back-and-forth woofing is just a natural outgrowth of competition.
"I don't hate Richard Sherman," Patrick has been careful to point out.
"Sometimes you get mad and say stuff you don't mean. ... We're all alpha males, and sometimes it happens like that," Seattle safety Earl Thomas said at the Seahawks minicamp this week after Sherman was involved in a practice scuffle with wideout Phil Bates -- then was later seen walking off the field arm in arm with Doug Baldwin, another wideout he mixed it up with in the ensuing scrum.
Of course, that was after Sherman picked off a pass later in practice.
No wonder he was in a good mood.
NFL cornerbacks have, of course, never been a shy bunch. Deion Sanders -- arguably the greatest of them all -- once threw a wink wink, ha-ha tantrum when he suspected a teammate had hidden the boxer shorts with the dollar signs that he used to wear to the stadium on game days. "Where are my lucky drawers? I can't play without my lucky drawers!" Sanders roared in the middle of the locker room as everyone around him laughed.
And yet, when asked during Super Bowl week who he thought was the best cornerback today, Sanders didn't pick Sherman, whom many acknowledge as the best trash-talker. Nor did Sanders follow the money and pick Haden.
He said he'd take Peterson because, "He does more for his team."
Cruz says Sherman is the best cornerback he has faced so far. And, although he stands by his needling that guys have to have a screw loose to play NFL cornerback, Cruz also admits he has to give shutdown corners their props.
"They have to be a little bit delusional -- but they get the job done," Cruz says, breaking into another laugh. "You know, we may get six or seven catches in a game. But one long pick-six changes the entire complexion of the game."
Did he say pick-six?
"Mismatch!" Sherman would scream.

Email marketing service GetResponse has focused more of its attention on analytics, launching a solution which aims to bring some much needed intelligence about email ROI by providing "one-chart" comparisons of different messages to help marketers identify trends.
The tool, dubbed Email Intelligence, is able to track sales and conversions occuring on the website without the need for integration with other software. How that actually happens is not addressed in the announcement, but the platform is showing number of visits, sales, sign-ups or downloads coming from email campaign links.
Email Intelligence calculates averages for each metric to identify the weakest and best-performing elements of a campaign, reporting patterns, and providing email marketers the ability to segment and email specific groups in a few clicks from the insights generated directly on the report.
Many of the features will be appealing to Web workers.
For example, marketers can pinpoint the time of day certain groups open and click; ideal for those scheduling their emails.
With 44 percent of marketers rating email marketing ROI as the most significant challenge to email marketing effectiveness in 2011, and 68 percent mention targeting recipients with highly relevant content, the Get REsponse solution seems to come at an important time.

About census forms | Sign language video | Other languages | Collection of your forms | After the census |
If you still have completed forms to return, please call 0800 CENSUS (0800 236 787) and ask for a freepost envelope. If you have not received forms, call the 0800 number as soon as possible.
Or you can send your completed forms to us for free:
2013 Census
Private Bag 208 040
Auckland 2161
We are no longer accepting forms online.
If you were out of the country on census night you don't have to do anything.
If you were away from home but in New Zealand you will need to complete an individual form for the place you stayed on census night. You do not need to complete an individual form at your home.
Please do not fill in the forms delivered to your usual home. Give the blank forms to the collector when they call to collect them after the census and tell them where you were on census night.
The March 2011 Census was called off following the 22 February 2011 Christchurch earthquake. The 2011 Census could not have been successfully completed given the national state of emergency and the probable impact on census results.
We considered holding the next census in March 2012 but there was not enough time to restart the project, and the risk of not being able to be run a census properly in that short period of time was too high.
If we do not hold a census until 2016 there will be a huge hole in the data available for people and organisations that make key planning decisions, such as councils and government departments.
We estimate that the 2013 Census will cost $72 million. This is less than the $90 million budget for the 2011 Census because we can make use of much of the preparation we did for 2011.
The value gained from a census far exceeds the cost of running it. Billions of dollars of government funding is allocated using census data.
Statistics NZ has a planning assumption that the date of the next census will be in 2018.
A business case for a proposed 2018 Census, along with an update on the census transformation work programme, will be presented to Cabinet in November 2013.
Yes. Filling in census forms is required by law. Under the Statistics Act 1975, everyone in New Zealand on census day must fill in a census form.
Filling in census forms is required by law. Under the Statistics Act 1975, everyone in New Zealand on census day must fill in a census form. You could be fined if you don't participate or if you provide false or incomplete information.
If legal action becomes necessary, the fine is up to $500, with a further $20 a day for each day after conviction until the person completes the forms.
The accuracy of the census depends on everyone in New Zealand filling in their forms and answering all questions that apply.
Our policy is to encourage you to comply with the law. As a last resort Statistics NZ may prosecute people who actively refuse to fill in their forms or provide false information.
Other government departments hold administrative records about people. But the census is especially valuable because it provides a new and accurate set of information every five years, about every part of the country, down to small geographic areas.
Statistics NZ is investigating alternative ways of meeting information needs for social and population statistics. Information papers about this work are available here.
Several topics must, by law, be included in the New Zealand Census of Population and Dwellings. Under the Statistics Act 1975 we are required to ask every person in New Zealand on census day for their:
For every occupied dwelling in New Zealand on census day we must ask for that dwelling's:
We collect information about Māori descent and the usual residence of all people living in New Zealand to help determine electorate boundaries (required under the Electoral Act 1993).
We include other topics because they produce information of significant value to New Zealand. We also have to consider other factors when deciding what questions we ask, such as:
Statistics NZ consults widely with the public about the questions asked in the census.
There are only minimal changes to the questionnaires from those used for the 2011 Census. You can see a copy of the 2013 Census forms and guide notes here.

Brittany and Ethan's country wedding ceremony at 1899 Farmhouse, shot by Dallas wedding photographer Maria Leinen.
It was a gorgeous summer evening for Brittany and Ethan's outdoor wedding at 1899 Farmhouse. They really lucked out with the weather since it had been raining just the day before the wedding, and the heat & humidity came back with a vengeance starting the day after the wedding. With a high of mid-80's that day, they wound up having the perfect temps settle in right as the evening ceremony began on the front steps of the farmhouse.
When Brittany and I first spoke on the phone and I asked her about their wedding style, she admitted that she wasn't really sure yet even just 6 months away from the wedding date because she liked almost every wedding inspiration photo she had seen. She liked both rustic/vintage, as well as modern. I could definitely relate! I knew it would be interesting to see how everything came together, and fortunately for me, it was stunning! I have to admit though, I am just a tad bit partial, not only to the overall look they had, (which combined both that rustic/vintage appeal with modern elements) but also to the purple and green wedding colors they had (ahem! Kind of looks like my business colors, right?). ♥♥
Vendor Information:
The wedding and reception were hosted at 1899 Farmhouse in Princeton, Texas. The bride's looked amazing in her dress from Alfred Angelo. It really was the perfect dress for her and it fit so well with the overall style of their wedding. The bride and bridesmaids looked gorgeous, thanks to the hair stylings of the bride's sister, Brooke Pollard. The groom's stunning black tux came from Men's Warehouse. Their minister, Jeff Brooks, was the young pastor at Ethan's church and he added just the right amount of laughter for the ceremony. Gorgeous floral design was done by Angela Reese and the purple and green accents in the decor really jumped out from the surroundings.
Be sure to sign up for a notification once all the wedding photos are posted online. Go to their wedding photo gallery to sign up! (Your email address is never used for anything except this one email notification, and is never shared with anyone. Your privacy is important to me!)
Every once in awhile, as I'm editing photos, I start looking at a wedding like a music video… That's usually the start of the creative process that results in this…
Once Brittany and Ethan were dressed, they had a "First Look". I found a nicely shaded spot with the ceremony area in the background and set up for them to see each other privately before we started with the family formal photos. I *love* Brittany's reaction when Ethan turned around! Unbeknownst to me, the bridesmaids were in the front window watching the whole time. Ok, I confess— I chose this spot deliberately because I knew they would want to see. It was rather perfect so they could have their First Look without any distractions, but the girls could all witness it too.
For her bridesmaid gifts, Brittany had custom charms made with each girls name on the front of a heart, and the wedding date on the back. They were super pretty!
I took Brittany aside right before the ceremony for some privacy so she could read the letter Ethan had written to her. Brittany said it was the closest she got to shedding some tears before she walked down the aisle. (Such a sweet moment!)
These have to be my one of my top 5 ceremony programs so far! Brittany made them and they were a good balance between informative and humor. Since Brittany and Ethan are both self-professed math geeks, they included a soduku puzzle on the back for guests to complete.

The Artists
This print series was reproduced from eighteen paintings by Army Artist Team XXII. The Center of Military History selected the members of the team from among soldier-artists throughout the Army, based upon a review of work experiences and sample artwork. The three soldiers chosen traveled from their respective duty stations to the Center in Washington, D.C., where they worked from 19 January through 15 May 1988 on the original artwork. This team effort captured in vivid fashion the Army's noncommissioned officer performing his or her duties throughout various stages of the nation's history.

The final rule on researchers' disclosure of financial conflicts of interest, issued August 23 by National Institutes of Health (NIH), has displeased some who called for greater transparency.
Over the past several years, Sen Chuck Grassley (R, Iowa) has been investigating university and researcher disclosure of outside financial interests while conducting studies using federal grant money. Grassley had called for the final NIH rule to include a requirement that universities disclose financial ties between their researchers and industry on publicly accessible Web sites. Instead, the NIH will allow institutions to either post financial conflicts of interest on a public-access Web site or send such information to individuals who ask for it in writing.

Gov. Neil Abercrombie has released capital improvement funds for the state's Villages of Leiali'i affordable housing project in Lahaina and the Maui Memorial Medical Center, both identified as "priority projects" by the Legislature.
Abercrombie also released state grants-in-aid funding for Hana Health Medical Center.
The long-planned Villages of Leiali'i, which dates back to 1990, will receive $750,000, according to the Governor's Office.
It will be used "to complete the design of a permanent production well and pump station to serve as a potable water source."
Earlier this month, the Maui County Council's General Plan Committee voted to include the project area - near the Lahaina Civic Center - within the proposed urban-growth boundaries for West Maui in the draft Maui Island Plan.
The Hawaii Housing Finance and Development Corp., the state agency charged with overseeing affordable housing development, said that the state had spent $29 million on infrastructure for the project to date.
Plans for Leiali'i were halted in 1993, when the Office of Hawaiian Affairs sued because the project is sited on ceded lands. State officials say the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in 2009 that the state has the vested title on the lands.
But because the state Legislature has since passed legislation that requires a supermajority in order for the state to sell ceded lands, the homes built on the site would be sold as leasehold.
The governor also released $347,561 in capital improvement funds for Maui Memorial, which will be used for "additional construction for the interior building space located under (the hospital's) helipad, including installation of fire protection system, electrical, plumbing and mechanical infrastructure."
The two Maui projects were part of about $17 million in capital improvement funding released statewide.
The Hana health center will receive a $900,000 grant-in-aid from the state, which the center says was initially appropriated in 2010.
The money is slated for planning, design and construction to expand the rural community's only medical facility.
"We've totally outgrown our facility to the point where we have several trailers outside to accommodate services," said Hana Health Executive Director Cheryl Vasconcellos. "The medical center is over 45 years old, and it was never designed as health center . . . so it's really very obsolete and can't accommodate the new technologies that we want to have."

Mercyhurst Prep shows form at Regatta
Mercyhurst Prep's Dave Geiger has had to battle the weather all season long as the head coach of the Mercyhurst Prep rowing team.
The weather relented Saturday, allowing the 35th annual Mercyhurst Prep Regatta to go off without a hitch at Presque Isle Bay.
The Lakers captured gold medals in four different events, and piled up a total of eight podium finishes.
Geiger was thrilled with the men's novice four, which blew away the field to claim the win. Times were not available before press time.
The four-man boat, comprised of J.J. Mackowski, Marshall Dimperio, Sampson Yuan and Daniel Xiao dominated the race, despite their lack of experience on the water.
"This novice group has had it the worst this year with the weather," said Geiger. "They were behind the 8-ball in so many ways, they just really pulled together."
Geiger, who has coached the Lakers since 2000, also was thrilled with a pair of women's boats, as the Lakers finished first in the women's lightweight four and the 500-meter dash.
The women's lightweight four, made up of coxswain Katie Schneider, Maggie Schonec, Vanessa Gianelli, Pansy Pan and Sarah Emerson, clocked a strong time, despite rowing together as a unit for only a week.
"They're a young crew, and they haven't had a lot of practice together," remarked Geiger. "They just really started to click this week, and they pulled it together."
The Lakers' final wins came in the junior varsity eight and 500-meter dash. The 500 marked the end of what Geiger claimed was a "great day" for all involved.
"This was the last regatta for most of the teams that were here," Geiger said. "We have all had a tough go, but today the bay was wonderful. It was a great way for these teams to end their seasons."
Mercyhurst Prep, however, is not amongst those teams whose season ended on Saturday.
The Lakers will travel to Pittsford, N.Y., for the Pittsford Regatta next weekend, before traveling to St. Catharines, Ontario,for the 67th annual Schoolboy Regatta on June 6.

mode helps this issue. However, the only certain fix to this problem is
to upgrade to 9.x since 9.x uses a job queue database rather than
