|The Documentary
Way back in 1997, I put together the Your Sinclair Rock'n'Roll Years. The idea was a simple one, inspired by the BBC's Rock'n'Roll Years TV series. The BBC version had movie clips of news reports of events of a given year, subtitles that gave some background information about what was going on, and was mixed with a music soundtrack made up of songs from that year.
The Your Sinclair Rock'n'Roll Years took that idea and put it into webpage form for each issue of YS. Each page had links to news and reviews for each relevant issue.
It was rather nifty. Still is, in fact. Perfect for anyone with a modem who longs for a quick shot of Speccy nostalgia.
And now broadband has arrived, and it's time for something a bit beefier. It's time to come full circle and do what the BBC originally did.
It's time for The Your Sinclair Rock'n'Roll Years TV show!

Get Carmageddon for iOS free, today only
Kickstarter works! Stainless Games solicited the Kickstarter crowd for funding to bring Carmageddon to the iPhone, iPod touch and iPad — they got the money needed and are now delivering the goods. Moreover, as a thank you to investors and, apparently, the world, Stainless is offering the original road rage racing game for free, but today only.
Carmageddon is the original freeform driving sensation, where pedestrians (and cows!) equal points, and your opponents are a bunch of crazies in a twisted mix of automotive killing machines. The game features anarchic drive-wherever-you-like gameplay and over-the-top surreal comedy violence. It's the racing game where racing is for wimps.
Fundamentally, if you have an iPhone, iPod touch or iPad capable of running iOS 5.1 or later, then you can play this game. Specifically, the iPhone 3GS, 3rd generation iPod touch or any iPad or later are all compatible.
Get Carmageddon while the getting is good — offer valid on Wednesday, October 17, 2012.

MARINE CORPS AIR STATION BEAUFORT, S.C. -- Residents in the Beaufort area can expect to hear increased noise from jet aircraft due to training at the Marine Corps Air Station.
Marine spokesman Lance Cpt. R.J. Driver says the training is going on through Thursday. The noise may occur from 8 a.m. through midnight.
The pilots are training for an upcoming deployment, so the Marine Corps is asking the community's patience and support as the Marines get ready for their mission.
The training is going to involve repeated day and night takeoffs and landings, which can be somewhat bothersome to residents in the vicinity.

Clinical decision support (CDS) refers to electronic technology used to enhance clinical decision making. For example, computerized physician order entry with integrated CDS in principle offers an electronic layer of review for ordering prescriptions.
An important feature of CDS is automated warnings issued whenever potential drug interactions or other contraindications arise. In practice, however, CDS systems often have been overinclusive in the warnings they generate, to a point at which physician "alert fatigue" may in large part undermine the utility the systems offer.1,2 The current generation of CDS systems includes alert parameters for thousands of drug interaction types. Meanwhile, a recent review of empirical studies on computerized physician order entry with integrated CDS observed that physicians override automated warnings a substantial fraction of the time—according to one study,3 in as many as 19 out of 20 instances. One paradoxical result of overly abundant warnings may be to exacerbate malpractice risk for physicians who either ignore or turn off CDS alerts, even as CDS systems create an audit trail to show that those physicians have done so.3 Another paradoxical result may be impeded adoption of CDS technologies4 because of physician and institutional concerns about malpractice risk. These sorts of results could prevent the technologies from achieving their potential benefits in making patients safer and in reducing the risks of medication error.5

A Short Biography about Jason Roberts
Born in Los Angeles, California in 1969, Jason spent his years surfing and skateboarding. He loved participating in and watching all sports, often spending the early morning hours watching Tour du France, soccer or some other sports event, while painting his intricate block sets.
He developed a keen interest in – and a great kinship with – the master artists of the Twentieth Century: Pablo Picasso, Georges Braque, Georgia O'Keeffe and the Impressionist and the Renaissance Masters, among others. He had endless curiosity, a trait easily discernible in his art.
Having been educated as a fine artist at the venerable institution, L'Ecole Des Arts Paris-Italie, it didn't take long for Jason to adapt the masterful techniques of his artistic heroes to his own, contemporary works, both on paper and in three dimensions. The hundreds of block sets collectors so loved fused landscape, figurative and abstract vignettes at once full of color and playful line, masterful of composition, and deeply expressive of the human condition. Jason was an internationally represented artist with galleries in Paris, Hollywood, New York, San Francisco, and Santa Fe, among others. He sold his work directly to an extensive international network.
Vivacious and happy, always the optimist, Jason was a kind person who would put others before himself; he always had a kind word. Jason was absolutely an artist's artist from the beginning; he loved art in a deeply personal way. Most who knew Jason would agree that, of Jason's talents, his ability to touch the souls of others through his vivacious, colorful and heart-felt art was his greatest.

The Niagara University men's basketball team controls its destiny in the hotly contested race for the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference regular-season championship.
The Purple Eagles received a huge boost from Iona, which defeated second-place Loyola (Md.) on Friday, 90-86, to remain in sole possession of first place.
Niagara (12-5) can now clinch the MAAC championship and the automatic bid to the National Invitational Tournament with a win today at home against Saint Peter's (3-14). Tip off is 3 p.m. at the Gallagher Center.
Niagara is in search of its first regular-season title since 2005.
On Friday, Lamont Jones scored 35 points to lead Iona. Jones, a transfer from Arizona, was 11 of 15 from the field and 9 of 11 from the free-throw line for the defending MAAC regular-season champs. Loyola (Md.) advanced to the NCAA Tournament last season after winning the MAAC Tournament title.
On Thursday, Canisius junior guard Billy Baron scored eight of his game-high 23 points in overtime as the Golden Griffins outscored Saint Peter's, 16-4, in overtime en route to a 77-65 win. Niagara didn't fare so well in their last game against Rider as Juan'ya Green's game-high 27 points were not enough to lead Niagara as it fell, 68-59, to Rider to snap a three-game winning streak.
Loyola, Canisius and Rider are now in a three-way tie for second place a game back of Niagara. The Golden Griffins host Rider at 2 p.m. at the Koessler Center, while Loyola ends its regular season at noon Sunday at home against Manhattan.
The MAAC Tournament begins next week in Springfield, Mass.
Elsewhere, St. Bonaventure (13-13, 6-7 Atlantic 10) faces Charlotte (18-9, 6-7) in a pivotal matchup at 7 p.m. at the Reilly Center filled with postseason implications.
This week, the Bonnies moved from sole possession of 12th place into a four-way tie for ninth. One of those three teams the Bonnies are tied with is Charlotte, with the others being George Washington and Saint Joseph's.
Bona does not have the head-to-head tiebreaker on George Washington, but does on Saint Joseph's. Only the top 12 teams qualify for the A-10 Championship March 14-17 in Brooklyn.
In junior college, Erie County Community College men's and women's teams have key playoff games today.
The men, the No. 2 seed in the Region III Division II tournament, will play rival Niagara County Community College at 1 p.m. in Rochester with the winner playing in the final on Sunday. The regional winner hosts a district championship on March 9 for the right to move on to the NJCAA Division II nationals.
The Kats women (19-5) play host to Jamestown CC in the Region III Tournament semifinals at 1 p.m.
SWIMMING & DIVING: The University at Buffalo's Brittney Kuras captured the 200-yard freestyle crown during the Mid-American Conference Women's Swimming and Diving Championships at Alumni Arena.
Kuras, a senior, finished the event in 1 minute, 47.83 seconds and barely edged sophomore teammate Jessica Powers, who came in second at 1:48.27. The Bulls also won the women's 800-yard freestyle relay in a school-record 7:22.04.
Powers and Kuras were joined on the team by sophomore Becky Evangelista and freshman Paula Stoddard. UB is in fourth place as the competition enters the final day with 286 points. Miami (Ohio) is in first followed by Ohio University and Bowling Green.
MEN'S HOCKEY: Canisius (12-18-5, 11-13-2) took control of the game with a three-goal, five-minute spurt in the first period and then held on for a 6-5 victory at RIT in Atlantic Hockey. It's the first time in school history the Griffs have won consecutive games at Ritter Arena.
Cody Freeman scored twice, while Ben Danford, Ryan Bohrer, Matt Grazen and Stephen Miller scored for Canisius, which ended a five-game losing streak.
Elsewhere, Niagara (21-7-5, 20-4-2) dropped a 5-2 decision to Air Force as the Falcons erased a two-goal deficit with five unanswered goals.
Hugo Turcotte scored twice for No. 13 Niagara, which has a rematch with Air Force tonight in Colorado Springs.
BOWLING: The Erie Community College women's team sits atop the team standings at the NJCAA Bowling Championships in Cheektowaga heading into the final day of the competition. The Kats lead at 7,747, while Schenectady County CC leads Vincennes (Ind.) on the men's side.

Alexander Calder, as a tribute to the artist Ben Shahn, created this original lithographic poster. Ben Shahn, a Lithuanian-born American artist, was a close friend of Calder's, and the two were part of a tight group of writers and artists in New York after World War II. This print is an example of a two-dimensional work where Calder, just as he would in one of his mobiles, gives a sense that the shapes are randomly arranged in space by chance.
Calder is one of the most acclaimed and influential sculptors of the 20th century. He is renowned for the invention of the mobile, kinetic construction of suspended abstract elements that describe individual movements. He also produced numerous wire figures, notably for a miniature circus. In addition to sculptures, Calder painted throughout his career, beginning in the early 1920s. He picked up his study of printmaking after moving to Paris in 1926 and continued to produce illustrations for books and journals.

WAILUKU - For now it looks like F&H Construction has won the contract to build the new Kihei Police Station, according to county Department of Finance Director Danny Agsalog.
F&H appeared to have submitted the low bid to construct the two-story, 47,000-square-foot station along Piilani Highway for $27.7 million, or more than $7.7 million under budget.
But F&H was not the apparent winner at first.
On Thursday, Mayor Alan Arakawa's administration opened the police station's 10 bids and originally selected Unlimited Construction Services of Hawaii. However, a couple days later, the Lihue, Kauai-based business informed Agsalog's office that it would need to drop out because of an apparent internal error that would add $1.4 million to its bid, Agsalog said.
In a letter, the company told county officials it had inadvertently left out three material and manpower items. In particular, company officials forgot to budget for some large concrete slabs, Agsalog said.
But now, contractor Albert C. Kobayashi Inc. of Waipahu, Oahu, which finished third in bidding, has filed a formal protest of awarding the job to F&H, Agsalog said.
"But I'm keeping my fingers crossed the taxpayers will be happy we were able to get it done for a lot lower than we originally budgeted," he said.
Kobayashi Inc.'s formal protest alleges F&H is using an electrical contractor not licensed with the state Department of Commerce & Consumer Affairs.
"And F&H said they also have a letter verifying their contractor is licensed; and if it's true, we will probably allow them to be the contractor," Agsalog said.
F&H's Hawaii Division Corporate Manager Dan Blackburn said the protester confused subcontractor's name, Electric Construction Co., with another nonlicensed company.
"With this tough economy, I think maybe he was trying to throw a pebble in a pond and make a ripple," Blackburn said.
Kobayashi had a bid of nearly $30 million, which is more than $2 million higher than F&H's bid.
Agsalog said he and his staff will investigate any protests that come in by the Wednesday deadline and most likely will reach a final decision on the contractor on Oct. 7. Only a complicated protest could hold up the process a bit longer, he said.
"With a contract of this magnitude, we need to do our due diligence with every protest and do it fairly," Agsalog said.
F&H's bid is approximately $660,000 more than Unlimited Construction's first bid of $27 million, Agsalog said, but he noted the top three really were all "in striking distance."
F&H has a resume that includes work on large-scale projects, such as resorts, convention centers and apartment/condominium complexes, according to its website. On Maui, F&H built Maui Electric Co.'s Maalaea power plant, much of King Kekaulike High School and now the new University of Hawaii Maui College's science building.
The highest bid, Agsalog said, came in at $33 million from an unnamed firm.
The project's request for proposals went out July 31 with a Sept. 8 deadline. County officials met with the contracting firms to give them all the details and got them all together again to open the bids.
Last month, Council Member Riki Hokama expressed concerns about the sudden speed of a project that's been years in the making. He unsuccessfully lobbied to give the contractors six more weeks to prepare bids.
The situation illustrates how competitive construction companies have become in their search for steady work in this poor economy, said Agsalog, who indicated he wouldn't be surprised if more protests were filed.
Agsalog joked that the owners probably had their employees up all night looking for errors in the top bids.
"We're very fortunate considering the economy," Blackburn said. "We're also really excited and attribute this win to the hard work of our staff who pushed to bring these jobs in."
Police Chief Gary Yabuta said the county wants construction to begin in early 2012.
"We are planning to start working on it very quickly," Arakawa said.
The mayor also said he is trying to decide with lawmakers if it would be best for the county to reject the federal low-interest loan it has for $17 million at 4 percent interest.
"With all the red tape they (the U.S. Department of Agriculture) require, we think it would probably be best to just go with floating a bond for the entire project," Arakawa said Saturday.
He said he is having the Finance Department and Corporation Counsel examine the loan specifics and determine if they would need to put the project back out again for new bidders if they change the financing structure, something he is loathe to do.
"Our bond rating is so good, we're just more inclined to go with more bonding and have full control," Arakawa said.
The federal loan would demand reporting that would eat up a lot of staff time, Arakawa said.
"But we're not going to destroy the path we're on or create a time delay," he said.
The station will be located on 10 acres near the intersection of Piilani Highway and Kanani Road.
Construction is expected to create 200 jobs for 16 months, Blackburn said.

It was a hot, stinky ride for motorists around lunchtime today as more than 30 gallons of raw sewage spilled onto Interstate 5 south of Calgrove Boulevard.
At about 12:15 p.m. in the southbound lanes of the interstate, a United Waste truck reported hauling "some type of fluid" spilled its load, said California Highway Patrol Officer John Lutz.
When emergency crews of the Los Angeles County Fire Department responded, they found the fluid to be raw sewage, he said.
Between 30 and 35 gallons of the sewage spilled onto the freeway.
"Lane four was closed and, when Caltrans responded at 1:22, they closed lane three as well," said Lutz. "The company responded for the cleanup at 1:47 p.m."

Man accused of heroin use
When paramedics arrived in the 2000 block of West Fourth Street to investigate a report of "a man down" about 8 p.m. on Dec. 13, they found 22-year-old Gary William Colatosti, who was unable able to answer any questions, police said.
Seeing fresh "track marks" on his right arm, paramedics suspected that Colatosti was suffering from a heroin overdose, police said.
Because the man could not even give his own identification, a police officer began going through his wallet, which was hanging out of his back pocket, police said. The officer discovered a packet of heroin in the wallet, police said.
As he was being treated, Colatosti, of 150 Mill St., Trout Run, began to answer questions, police said. He told the paramedics that he had "ingested heroin," police said. He was taken to the Williamsport Regional Medical Center and later released.
Charged with possession of heroin and drug paraphernalia, Colatosti has been sent a summons to appear before District Judge James Carn.
Woman accused of stealing co-worker's cash
HUGHESVILLE - McDonald's employee Eugraine Janay Brown, 19, of Watsontown, has been charged with theft for allegedly stealing $80 from fellow employee Michelle Barto's purse, which she removed from Barto's locker in the crew room at the business on Route 405 on the morning of Nov. 16, state police.
Brown has been sent a summons to appear before District Judge Jon E. Kemp.
Man accused in hit-run
Curtis Kinney, 41, of 2512 W. Fourth St., has been charged by city police with accidents involving damage to an attended vehicle and two summary violations for allegedly fleeing the scene after his vehicle rear-ended a woman's car at West Fourth and Walnut streets on Dec. 20.
Following his recent arraignment before District Judge James Carn, Kinney was released on $8,500 bail.
Woman cited for shoplifting from grocery
Nikima Sharee Davis, 33, of 613 Park Ave., has been charged with misdemeanor shoplifting after she was caught allegedly trying to steal $4 worth of merchandise from Wegmans, 201 William St., on Oct. 31, city police said. This was her second offense.
She has been sent a summons to appear before District Judge Allen P. Page III.

An institution for jazz amateurs, who appreciate the good food and great music without having to jostle for a view to see the stage. The dining/concert hall is inspired by the jazz of New Orleans and the soul of Detroit, but also gospel, blues, rock'n roll, Latin jazz and Bossa Nova. Piano virtuoso Philippe Bas is in residence on the terrace every evening in summer during 'l'apéro swing' – a great idea for a fine summer evening. The clientele is a little older thanks to the 60 dinner and concert fee, though you can also do the concert solo (€25 with a drink), and students and under-25s pay €15 with a drink.

July 3, 2000
The department is notifying 74,000 vehicle owners that an emission check notice they have been receiving this year is not accurate. In fact, the next emission inspection for 1996 models is not due until 2001.
Owners of 1996 vehicles will receive letters explaining their options. If they already had their auto emissions checked, they may request a refund of the $15 fee and have their emissions checked again in 2001, or they may wait until 2003 for their next inspection. The error came as Ecology began to implement a 1998 law that exempts vehicles less than five years old and more than 25 years old, starting in 2000.
This year, 1996 through 2000 model years are exempt, as well as model years 1975 and older. The accurate emission test schedule is as follows: 2000, 1976-1994, even model years only; 2001, 1977-1995, odd model years only, plus 1996; 2002 1978-1994, even model years only, plus 1997; 2003, 1979-1995 odd model years only, plus 1996, 1998.

Lot # 1107 (of 1560) < Previous Lot | Next Lot >
1883-1891 Nineteenth-Century Scorecard Collection (3)
Starting Bid - $500, Sold For - $2,233
Collection of three magnificent nineteenth-century Major League scorecards, each featuring a decorative front cover. 1) Circa 1883 Philadelphia Quakers National League scorecard for an exhibition game against the New York Metropolitans of the American Association, held at Recreation Park. The cover features an illustration of a game in progress, surrounded by four sporting vignettes. Presumably, this scorecard dates from the Quakers' inaugural National League season. A copyright date of 1882 appears at the bottom of the cover, and both the Quakers and Metropolitans didn't join their respective leagues until 1883. The fold-over scorecard displays only the names of each team along the interior (Metropolitan is misspelled "Mteropolitan") and the lineups have been written in by hand. Each lineup includes a number of familiar names, including McClellan, Manning, and Lewis for Philadelphia, and Brady, Nelson, and Lynch for New York, but also a number of players who never appeared on either club's official roster. Neatly scored in pencil, recording a 5-4 Metropolitans victory. The Philadelphia Quakers finished in last place in their inaugural 1883 season with a dismal 17-81 record, one of the worst Major League seasons ever recorded. 4.25 x 6.75 inches (folded). Ex. 2) 1886 Pittsburgh Alleghenys American Association program for a game against the Brooklyn Grays. The fold-over scorecard features an illustrated portrait of Allegheny third baseman Arthur Whitney on the cover. Over the years we have seen only a few programs from this colorful series. It is likely that most players from the team were honored with their portrait on a program but very few examples have survived. The preprinted lineups include Barkley, Whitney, and Morris for Pittsburgh, and Pinkney, Swarwood, and McClellan for Brooklyn. Neatly scored in pencil, recording a 1-0 Brooklyn victory. 4 x 6.25 inches (folded). Ex. 3) 1891 Boston Red Stockings American Association scorecard for a game against the Philadelphia Athletics. An extremely rare and unusual style, this scorecard is all the more significant in that it features an illustrated portrait of Arthur Irwin, player/manager of the Boston Red Stockings on the cover. Irwin enjoyed a fine career both as a player and manager, but he is best known today for popularizing the fielder's glove. Many years later, in 1921, his life took a most bizarre turn when he mysteriously vanished from a ship en route to Boston from New York. After he disappeared (it was believed he committed suicide by jumping overboard), it was discovered that he was not only terminally ill at the time, but had also been leading a "double" life. Irwin had a wife and child in Boston, and another wife and three children in New York, and he managed to keep that fact hidden from both family and friends for nearly thirty years. Boston captured the pennant in 1891, which was the American Association's final year (the league was in existence from 1882 through 1891). The scorecard opens up accordion style, revealing four separate panels. The two interior center panels bear the preprinted lineups of each respective team, while the other panels display advertising. Included in the respective lineups are Duffy and Brown for Boston, and Milligan and Larkin for Philadelphia. Neatly scored in pencil, recording an 8-3 Philadelphia victory. 4 x 7 inches (folded). Vg, with a few minor tears and areas of toning. This is a very striking program, and the only example of this style we have ever seen. Total: 3 scorecards. Reserve $500. Estimate $1,000+. SOLD FOR $2,233

But in the week leading up to the festivities in Central America, a soap opera involving all three adults was shaping up, kicking off with Bündchen's expansive remarks to Vanity Fair, in which she said she considered young John Edward her very own child.
"It's not like because somebody else delivered him, that's not my child," said the supermodel, 28. "I love him the same way as if he were mine. I already feel like he's my son, from the first day."
That apparently didn't sit well with those in Moynahan's inner circle. A source close to the 37-year-old model-actress tells PEOPLE, "Bridget has her own life, she doesn't need to be involved in the drama of all this, and she finds it disrespectful that her son is being paraded around in front of the paparazzi when she's specifically made it a point of keeping him away from that."
The source went on to say pointedly, "I can count on two hands, in two years, the number of times Bridget has been photographed with that baby. I can count on two hands the number of times in the past month that Gisele has been photographed with that baby."
In an even more personal attack, the source said, "If Tom is such a great father as everyone likes to say, then you would think that he'd respect the privacy of his young child and would ask his wife not to use his son as a publicity prop and a subject of public discussion."
Moynahan on MotherhoodFor her part, Moynahan's most direct comments on the situation appeared in Harper's Bazaar. She told the magazine, "When you're suddenly pregnant and no one is standing by your side, even if you're in your 30s, it's a hard conversation. I'm a traditional girl, and I believe in marriage, and I just always thought that's the way I'd be doing this."
Moynahan, who was with New England Patriots quarterback Brady, 31, for three years before they broke up and she subsequently announced her pregnancy, added, "For a moment, it was hard for me to accept that this was the way I was going to have a family."

Chip Woolley had apprehensions. The Dalhart-born horse trainer has dealt with nerves before, naturally, particularly when a horse he trained came out of nowhere and won the Kentucky Derby in 2009.
But now, the spotlight is on Woolley as much as it was on Mine That Bird and that muddy track.
Woolley and Bird's stories are told in "50 to 1," a new film opening today at the United Artists Star 14, 8275 W. Amarillo Blvd., and the Cinemark Hollywood 16, 9100 Canyon Drive.
The film stars Skeet Ulrich ("Scream," "As Good As It Gets") as Woolley and Christian Kane ("Leverage") as his buddy Mark Allen, who bought Bird with veternarian Leonard "Doc" Blach (William Devane, "Knots Landing," "24").
Mine That Bird was a major underdog — as the film's title suggests — and ended up becoming the second-biggest upset winner in Kentucky Derby history.
The story immediately caught the attention of writer/director Jim Wilson, a longtime sports documentarian and Oscar-
winning producer of "Dances with Wolves," "Swing Vote" and more.
"Visually, it blew me away," said Wilson, a long-time racing enthusiast. "I had never seen a horse come from 30 lengths back, through the mud, and pass the best horses in the world like they're nothing."
He flew to Roswell, N.M., where he met with Woolley, Blach and Allen.
"I really got to know these guys well, and I decided that not only was Mine That Bird 50 to 1, these guys were 50 to 1," Wilson said. "They were shocked to win this race."
Woolley said he had heard word that film producers were interested in Bird's story — and therefore, his — but he wasn't expecting anything to come of it, especially when financing fell through for the first filmmakers interested in the story.
"Actually, I was really apprehensive about it," Woolley said. "There's been a lot of movies that don't tell the whole story. And in a way, I guess this is like any other. There's plenty of Hollywood in it, but it's a good, solid movie."
His parents, Dalhart residents Bennie and Anne Woolley, weren't expecting much, either.
"It had been talked about for so long that I had just about decided that it was never going to happen," Anne Woolley said.
Wilson, however, was determined, arranging for financing for the $8.5 million budget himself, and he found kindred spirits.
Ulrich took the rare step of filming his own audition, complete with a mocked-up fence rail, once he read the script.
"There's so much heart in the story, in Chip, in Mark and in his faith in Chip, in Bird, obviously, in running the way he ran that Derby," Ulrich said.
"When he finished the Derby, that just brought me to tears during the research," Ulrich said. "A lot of us feel like underdogs, and to see an underdog win in such a great fashion ... to see them come in there and kick ass, everybody wants to do that."
Ulrich, who last week was in New York filming a pilot for NBC, traveled to New Mexico to meet with Woolley and the rest of the team.
"He's reserved, as cowboys tend to be, but he's got a heart of gold," Ulrich said. "He's a really good human being. ... He was so good to me and continues to be."
For his part, Woolley said his Hollywood doppelganger is "just a really good guy. ... We stay in touch to this day."
And Woolley had special faith in Wilson.
"Jim is into horse racing anyway, so that's a leg up on about anybody else who's going to make that movie anyway," Woolley said. "He had his idea of the way it was going to be, and he just ran with it.
"Like I said, I was a little apprehensive, even with a guy with a resume like Jim's," Woolley said. "It makes you nervous when the main character in the movie is you."
The film opened in March in Albuquerque as part of a cross-country tour tracing Woolley's own journey driving Bird to Churchill Downs. It opens across Texas and Louisiana on Friday, then Oklahoma and Arkansas on April 11, and Tennessee and Kentucky on April 18.
In its first two weeks and on only 19 screens, the film grossed $150,000, according to BoxOffice Mojo.com.
"When we went to watch the premiere (in Albuquerque) ... all the sudden it grabs hold of you and doesn't let you go," Bennie Woolley said. "We were really thrilled with it, we really were."
Today, Woolley is still looking for another Bird, though he admitted he'll "probably never" find one.
Bird himself is "doing great," Woolley said.
"I ponied him up last week for the Sunland Derby (in Sunland Park, N.M.), and he was bucking and playing," Woolley said. "He retired 100 percent sound and healthy ... and has got a long life ahead of him."
And Woolley expects to watch the film at least a few more times.
"I'm pleased with it," he said.
"If I hadn't have liked it, I'm sure I wouldn't want to see it again, but it's something that not only Jim and the actors can be proud of, but I can be proud of it myself."

Stratum Spinosum
consists of 8 to 10 layers of keratinocytes bound together by desmosomes; means spiny layer, refers to the fact that the cells look like miniature pincushions in standard histological sections.
dendritic cells
they participate in the the immune response by stimulating a defense against microorganisms that manage to penetrate the superficial layers of the epidermis, and superficial skin cancers.
stratum granulosum
superficial to the stratum spinosum, also called grainy layer. Consist of three to five keratinocytes derived from teh stratum spinosum.
forms dense cytoplasmic granules that promote dehydration of the cell as well as aggregation and cross-linking of the keratin fibers.
stratum corneum
contains 15 to 30 layers of keratinized cells. Located at the exposed surface of thick and think skin
or cornification, is the formation of protective, superficial layers of cells filled with Keratin. The process occurs on all exposed skin surfaces except the anterior surfaces of the eyes.

Chapter OneON MARRIAGE AND MISSIONS
Bill Thompson's concentration on the computer screen was so focused that he literally jumped at the sound of his secretary's voice on the intercom.
"I'm sorry to disturb you, Pastor," she said, "but Ted Bradford just came in and asked if he could talk with you. I thought you might want to see him."
Bill's initial irritation at her contravention of his "do not disturb" order melted instantly and a smile erased the frown from his face. He hit the "save" button on the computer as he replied, "You're right, Charlene. Send him in."
He got up from his chair and noticed that it felt good to stretch. He wondered how long he had been hunched over his keyboard as he moved toward the door to admit Ted to his office. Genuinely glad to see a young man he considered one of his protégés, he extended his hand in welcome. "Hi, Ted. Good to see you!"
"It's good to be home, Pastor," Ted replied, shaking Bill's hand. "I've been looking forward to semester break for a long time, or so it seems."
Bill motioned to the chair facing his desk. "Have a seat. You don't look too much the worse for wear. I like your mustache."
Ted grinned and self-consciously brushed his lip with his fingers. "I'vegotten used to it. I almost forget it's there. My folks haven't decided what they think about it yet."
Bill laughed. "Don't worry about them. They'll adjust. They always do."
"Yeah, I guess so."
Bill sat down in his swivel chair and leaned back. "So, how does it feel to be one semester away from graduation?"
"I'm pretty excited about it for the most part."
"For the most part?"
"Well, that's what I wanted to talk to you about, Pastor. I'm going to have to make some pretty big decisions in the next few months, and I'd like to get your advice on some of the things I've been thinking about."
Bill leaned forward in his chair. "Before we go any further, I want you to know that my advice is free-and worth every penny."
Ted grimaced appropriately and continued. "I'll bear that in mind." He hesitated. "I'm not sure where to start. It's all gotten kind of complicated."
"Complicated, huh?" Bill leaned back and arched his eyebrow. "What's her name?"
Ted was momentarily startled. "How did you know?" Then he laughed. "Her name is Annette-Annette Miller. And she's a remarkable girl."
"She'd have to be to get your attention," Bill chided. "Does she like mustaches?"
"She doesn't let them get in her way. Not this one, at least."
"I bet with a little arm twisting you could be persuaded to produce a picture of this young lady."
"Thought you'd never ask." Ted extracted a photograph from his wallet and passed it across the desk to the pastor. "It's a little worn around the edges, but I think it bears a close resemblance to the real thing."
Bill studied the picture for a moment. "Annette Miller is one very attractive young lady, Ted. I can see why you would notice her."
"She really is a remarkable girl, Pastor."
"You said that already," Bill replied as he handed the picture back. "Tell me something objective about her, if that's possible."
"Well, she enrolled in the one-year Bible program at the beginning of this school year. Before that she graduated with a B.A. from the state university with a major in African history and a minor in anthropology. I met her during the first week in a Bible class. She was so easy to talk to, Pastor, I didn't even have to work up courage to ask her out for the first time. I took her to a reception for new students and we really had a great time. The relationship just kind of took off from there."
"She sounds very impressive," Bill said. "Where does she live?"
Ted hesitated. "I'm never really sure how to answer that one. You see, her folks are missionaries in Kenya. That's where Annette grew up. When they come back to the States, their home base is Chicago. Of course, Annette is pretty much on her own now, so I guess her home is wherever she happens to be going to school."
"Well, that accounts for the major in African history," Bill said. "It sounds like she's preparing to return to Kenya as a missionary herself."
"She's not positive that she should go to Kenya specifically, but she does feel that the Lord has called her to a ministry in Africa. Of course she's most familiar with Kenya, but the tribe her parents have been working in extends across national boundaries. For that matter, she's not even sure yet that she should return to that same tribe. She's just preparing as much as she can so that when she does receive a more specific call, she'll be ready to go anywhere."
"It sounds like she's very committed to the Lord."
"Yes, she is, Pastor. That's what I appreciate most about her." Ted paused and looked down at the floor. It was quiet in the study for a few moments.
"Do you love her, Ted?"
Ted raised his head and looked Bill in the eye. "Yes, I do-very much."
"Do you want to marry her?"
"Does she know that?"
"We've talked about it quite a bit." "How does she feel about the idea?"
"She'd like to marry me, too." "So what's the problem?"
Ted's gaze returned to the floor and he sighed. "There seem to be several problems, Pastor, and they're not going away. The more I think about them, the harder they seem to get, and the more confused I become."
"Why don't you just list them one at a time," Bill said. "Sometimes a forest seems more manageable when you tackle one tree at a time."
"All right." Ted paused to think a moment. "One thing that concerns me is that I don't know whether it's the Lord's will for us to get married. When we first started dating, I never stopped to think about whether Annette might be the girl God had chosen for me to marry. I know that the Lord has a plan for my life, and I know that plan includes the person I should marry. I also know that the same thing is true for Annette and her future husband. We're just not sure we were meant for each other, you know, as far as God's plan is concerned."
"Are you willing not to marry Annette if it's not the Lord's will?"
"I've agonized over that question a lot, Pastor. And I think I can honestly say that I'm willing to give her up if that's His will. Both of us realize that if the Lord doesn't mean for us to marry it would be a big mistake for us to go ahead on our own. We want the Lord's best for our lives-for both of our lives ..." Ted hesitated for a moment. "In fact, we've kind of broken things off until we get a clear answer on this from the Lord."
"I imagine it's been kind of rough on you."
Ted nodded.
"I really have a lot of admiration for you two," Bill said. "It takes considerable inner strength to do what you've done. I think you are demonstrating real maturity and sincerity in this matter. The Lord will reward that, I'm sure."
Ted took a deep breath and cleared his throat. "Annette and I have had a wonderful relationship. I'm glad that I don't have to be ashamed of any part of it. And there are several things that indicate that we'd make good marriage partners. We seem to complement each other in personality and abilities and things like that. The only major indicator that might point in a different direction is this Africa business."
"You don't want to go to Africa?" Bill asked.
"Oh, I'd be willing to go. It's just that Annette has had such a strong feeling that that's where she should serve the Lord, and I haven't received any kind of a call. Until I met Annette, I never thought about Africa at all."
"What do you plan to do after graduation?"
Ted shrugged his shoulders. "I haven't had any strong leading in any specific direction. I've been thinking about going to seminary. In fact, I've applied to a couple of different schools. But even that was frustrating."
"Why? I think you'd do real well in seminary. I'm glad to hear you're thinking about it."
"I'm excited about the idea. It's just that on the application forms they wanted me to describe my 'call to the ministry of the gospel.' I had to tell them that I don't yet know exactly what the Lord wants me to do. But I feel that I need more training in the Word for whatever it is."
"I see," Bill said.
"The thing is, I don't see how Annette and I can be married unless we both feel called to the same ministry. Or at least our calls should be compatible. Another thing that bothers me is that since we began discussing marriage, Annette has been wondering about her commitment to Africa. What if she didn't go there because she married me instead? That's the question that's been haunting me."
"Perhaps the Lord wants Annette to spend a term in Africa while you go to seminary," Bill said.
"That's a possibility, Pastor. And I think we're both willing to do that, as hard as it would be. I guess the thing I really want to know is, how can we know for sure what the Lord wants us to do? We have to make some decisions pretty soon, and we need to know clearly what God's will is for us."
"That's very interesting," Bill mused as he stared off into space.
Ted laughed. "I thought you'd think so. Are you going to give me any of that free advice you promised?"
"As a matter of fact, yes. But not right now."
"Not now?"
Bill waved at the materials on and around his desk. "You see all that chaos? It just so happens that I was asked to lead a seminar on 'Knowing God's Will for Your Life' at our district's annual youth conference. I've been working on it for several weeks. In fact, that's what I was doing when you came in."
Ted's eyes registered his amazement as he surveyed the materials on the desk and the volumes in the cardboard box next to the pastor's chair. "Are all those books on the will of God? You must have twenty-five paperbacks alone!"
"Well, I've been collecting them for a couple of years, but new titles seem to come off the press faster than I can read them. The subject is very popular-always has been."
"I guess that means I'm not the Lone Ranger when it comes to questions about God's will for my life."
"Exactly. I've probably been asked more questions on that subject than any other-especially by young people. That's why I've been working so hard on this seminar presentation."
"So when is this conference?" Ted asked.
"This weekend. I think they have me down for Saturday morning."
Ted's face fell. "That's not going to work for me. Our family will be out of town at my cousin's wedding. And then I'm off to Camp Maranatha where I'm working this summer. I'm literally just passing through."
"There's more than one way to skin the proverbial cat." Bill pointed back at the pile on his desk. "I'm pretty much done with these books. I'd be happy to lend them to you."
Ted sighed. "No offense, but I'm kind of 'booked out' right now. Is there just one book that summarizes what I need to know?"
Bill smiled. "You could read part 1 of the first edition of Decision Making and the Will of God. It gives an excellent account of my presentation."
Ted looked puzzled. "I guess that could work ..."
"Or I could give you a copy of my outline. It won't have all the narrative and illustrations, but you've heard this material before. All you need is a good overview. Besides, those first chapters in Decision Making go on forever!"
"That sounds good, Pastor Bill." Ted rose from his chair, and the two men shook hands. "I'll come back and pick up that outline tomorrow morning." He started toward the door, then stopped and turned back to Bill. "Lord willing, of course."

The Yoga Body Diet is a four-week plan that inspires you to eat, move, and think according to your natural rhythms. It was written by Kristen Schultz Dollard who is also the digital director of Self Magazine, the former editor of iyogalife.com and a yoga teacher in New York. She wrote The Yoga Body Diet with Dr. John Douillard, a physician who has written and produced 18 health and fitness books, and is the current director of LifeSpa, an Ayurvedic rejuvenation and detox retreat center in Boulder, Colorado.
We had an opportunity to speak with Kristen about her new book. She shares with us some of the life-changing principles of yoga and Ayurveda, and how they can support weight loss and wellness in a way that is specific for you and only you.
What was your motivation for writing The Yoga Body Diet?
I thought I was incredibly healthy; I ate healthy and competed in triathlons. But then I was diagnosed with a hereditary hernia and learned that I had health complications that could lead to fertility issues. So to stack the odds in my favor, I decided to do all I could do for my health, and I began focusing more on the inner aspects of my health and not so much on my external health.
If you take care of your health, weight loss will happen. Stress is such a big factor in our health, yoga encourages you to embrace your shape. Ayurveda teaches us to understand our bodies and that when it comes to diet and eating, one size does not fit all.

Nations in their infancy
Archaeologists gather next month to compare notes on Southeast Asia's early politics and culture
Southeast Asia's early states - and its original music - are among topics to be covered at an archaeology conference in Chonburi next month.
The first International Conference on Southeast Asian Archaeology from May 7 to 10 at Burapha University's Tao-Thong Hotel Operation Centre is being organised by the Seameo Regional Centre for Archaeology and Fine Arts (Spafa), whose director, Dr MR Rujaya Abhakorn, says 120 academics will present more than 70 papers.
Seameo is the Southeast Asian Ministers of Education Organisation.
Silpakorn University Professor Emeritus Phasook Indrawooth, one of the keynote speakers, will discuss "Early State Formation in Southeast Asia", while the other, Professor Charles Higham of Otago University, will examine "Social Change During the Bronze and Iron Ages in Northeast Thailand".
Other papers include "The Archaeological Records from the 13th to the 16th Centuries in the Context of a History of Music in Southeast Asia" by Dr Nicolas Arsenio of Mahasarakham University. He will show how a "new music" arose in Asia after the introduction of bronze drums and gongs, forming a legacy shared across modern Asia.
Dr Edmund Edwards Mackinnon of Singapore's Institute of Southeast Asian Studies will speak about "The Rape of Puteri Hijau", which he describes as "a case of cultural-heritage-policy failure" in North Sumatra after decentralisation of power in Indonesia. Benteng Puteri Hijau translates as "the Fort of the Green Princess".
Other speakers will discuss theory, research, the science involved, cultural conservation, maritime and underwater studies and "Perspectives for the Future: Trans-border Archaeology of Mainland Southeast Asia".
"Spafa has as its mission the compiling of knowledge related to cultural heritage through archaeology and studies of Southeast Asian arts," Dr Rujaya explains. "We could rightly claim that we were pioneers in the kind of Southeast Asian studies now offered at some universities.
"Networking remains our chief method of information gathering, sharing and dissemination, by conducting consultative meetings, seminars, workshops, training and fora. We hope to highlight both the cultural diversity and uniqueness of the region so that we can understand each other better and work together for a better collective knowledge and a better quality of life.
"In other words, we should try to make the work of Spafa more relevant and meaningful to the people in the region and contribute to the wellbeing and meaningful dialogues in the Asean Community."
Rujaya notes that, while Spafa conducts its work mainly in English, "the Thai public is usually reluctant to use it", so websites have been established in Thai and other regional languages.
>>> Dr Elizabeth Howard Moore of Kyoto University will on May 8 discuss the "Inter-regional Archaeology of Dawei" in Myanmar, tracing developments from the arrival of Buddhism to the present day. The walled sites of Dawei have revealed its links to Pyu and Bagan further north, with Dvaravati sites in Kanchanaburi and ultimately with the Ayutthaya and Rattanakosin dynasties.
>>>Lia Genovese, a PhD candidate at the University of London, will on May 8 explain "Documented and Undocumented Diversity at the Plain of Jars" in Laos. Among the diversity in the stone jars of Xieng Khouang are reduced cavities, pairs of apertures and different lip rims.
>>> Dr Jun Kimura of Murdoch University and Dr John Pollack of Texas A&M University will on May 9 share underwater findings from Vietnam in "Lost Post and Lost Fleet". They surveyed the scene of a naval battle at Van Don and its relation to a battle on the Bach Dang River in 1288, when Vietnamese General Tran Khanh Du destroyed a Mongol supply fleet.

Article one-sided and deceiving
The article about Children's Country House and Mary Shemesh
(Dec. 30, 1996)
not only painted a very deceiving picture of this project but was also written from only one point of view which had to be an interview with Mary Shemesh herself. The picture would be very different if you had investigated further and actually talked with the families in this affected neighborhood.
This project was portrayed as the perfect solution to specialized health care for children with widespread community support. If you had checked your facts, you would find this project has no support from this community on Hollywood Hill and certainly not from the neighborhood in which she intends to operate this business.
This facility is not approved for operation (no license) in this rural family neighborhood and is in direct conflict with King County zoning regulations. Hollywood Hill is rural family environment with single family homes on acreage or large lots. It is not an industrialized neighborhood suitable for a medical facility for the long-term care of severely disabled children requiring specialized medical attention, which is exactly the business Mary Shemesh intends to operate.
We have frequent power outages and road closures. What happens to the child dependent on a ventilator when a storm such as the one last week hits? We couldn't even get out to the main road with chains and 4-wheel drive for days.
Mary Shemesh also does not have community support for her other facility in Kirkland which she opened and is operating without proper license and zoning approvals. I am sure that City of Kirkland officials would be able to add a much clearer idea of her intentions and operation of this business.
Mary Shemesh is a very shrewd businesswoman who stands only to gain financially (and quite significantly) from Children's Country House and other like facilities. She is not doing this out of the goodness of her heart.
Her many companies (Acute Care, Inc. is just one) will be supplying medical supplies and nursing services (probably leasing out the house which she purchased and remodeled) while at the same time she is paid to "administer" this facility. All of this is to be paid by our tax dollars. Children's Country House is an extremely profitable arrangement for Mary Shemesh, not a volunteer effort on her part.
You should check your facts before publishing such inaccurate information to this community and as a responsible voice within this community you should make it a point to investigate this further by speaking with the communities already affected and which may be affected if indeed she does open Children's Country House on Hollywood Hill. And of course, just ask Mary how much she stands to gain financially from this project.

—Mr. C. E. Cassal, the public analyst for Kensington, reports that of 499 samples analyzed under the "Food and Drugs Act" 28 per cent. were adulterated, and 17 per cent. of inferior quality, the greater part of the adulterated or inferior samples being specimens of milk. The largest proportion of adulterated samples was from the Sunday milk, only 34 per cent. of the samples being genuine. The amount of fines for all this adulteration was only £37, knowing which one does not wonder at the extent of the adulterations.

We all know the saying "A picture is worth a thousand words"…. and when you have kids, it sometimes feels more like two thousand!! I've been wanting to find a way of incorporating more of my "real" life into my blog, and what better way to do it than with pictures?!
…Like this one of Nora's little fingers messing with my photo shoot! When I looked back through my series of pictures, her fingers were in half of them, and always in the same spot. She was obsessed with a little nub of white chocolate and kept grabbing for it! Right after this photo was taken, I turned to find her with the entire truffle shoved in her mouth….where was my camera when I really needed it??
But the real story this week is not that Nora was into the truffles. It's that Nora was into EVERYTHING! It was the week of her 18 month birthday celebration, and I think she knew it. She felt very important…
She took some important calls…
Put on some important looking makeup… (yes, that's marker)
Did her very important work… (just picture this directly on the wood floor – no paper 🙂
…and on her foot…
And had some very important conversations…
As long as I let her get into whatever she wanted, she was happy!
Which means that, for most of the week, she looked more like this:
Yes, it's been quite a week.
Hopefully now that Nora's half birthday has come and gone, we can go back to the way things were.
…Not likely.
Thanks for taking a peek inside my Lemon Tree Dwelling!
I hope you feel right at home:)

The S&P 500 closed at 1432.12 today, a new 52-week high as well as a 4-year high since the market recovery began in 2009; however, not every stock in the S&P 500 is hitting 52-week highs. As always, there is an ebb and flow to the market, and the sector rotation model tells the market tale. Very simply put, I wanted to skip the central bank theatrics, the economic extraction, and bull/bear bias by simply telling the market performance story. I want to tell you, "what's working" and by telling you what's working, deduce where the market is anticipating the economy is going.
Sector Rotation states that different sectors perform for better or worse, based on the highs and low of the economic cycle. When utilities, healthcare, and staples outperform the market, portfolio managers are shifting their allocations into a defensive posture as the economy shows signs of weakening economic activity. When technology stocks and consumer retail stocks outperform, portfolio managers are shifting weightings in anticipation of a market bottom and a recovery in economic activity. Finally, when basic materials, energy, and industrials outperform it's because investors are anticipating the economy is in full recovery and resource supply is getting tight relative to demand. Martin Pring and John Murphy have put together a diagram that depicts this relationship on stockcharts.com, shown below.

This CD celebrates Dougs long journey via Jazz & Classical Guitar and the ideal marriage of the two; Brazilian Guitar.It features compostitions from Garoto, Gismonti, Guinga, Dilemando Reis, Baden Powell, Mauricio Carrilho & de Vries' own compositions with the BONUS of FREE sheet music pdfs of Dougs solo original gtr arrangements.
Featured on ABC Radio "the Weekend Planet":
He's brilliant, subtle, eclectic, he's long been one of Australia's greatest guitarists and in recent years he's won serious admiration in Brazil. Doug de Vries has made many records, but the very beautiful DdV Solo is the first on which he is alone and unamplified, throughout.The album is in part the fruit of an unfinished project which saw Doug attempt to write a new composition every day, through an entire year. DdV Solo presents 9 of 181 days' worth, plus 6 cuts on which Doug lovingly interprets some of his favourite (not over-familiar) Brazilian pieces.
We've had to add this extra step because we've been receiving thousands of automated bogus orders every day lately, this has been seriously effecting the speed of our website.
Thanks for your cooperation!
