This is a very friendly camp. I have been many times. The sites are not on the Guadalupe because the river does flood. Tent camping is on the river. What brings me back is the friendly atmosphere and exceptional "Pet Friendly" attitude. - Teri`

Mermaid Cove is a small park way off the beaten path at the upper end of Canyon Lake, which means it is extremely quiet and peaceful. The sites are relatively level and they give you a grill to use if you don't already have one. The campground hosts are extremely friendly and helpful. They do have a very liberal pet policy (meaning that there isn't one) but for the most part campers do the right thing. Pets are not required to be on a leash unless they become a nuisance or are aggressive. We stayed here for 3 weeks but reluctantly had to move to an RV park closer to Bulverde as my commute to work made it more cost effective to change parks. - Gypsy Cat

15 RV sites with more being built and 12 cabins, 2 with additions in 2007 and some rented seasonally. Sites and roads are gravel. Some sites are water & electric only and the dump station is very close to one of the cabins. If Canyon lake regains its maximum level there is a swimming hole and place to launch canoes into a creek feeding the Guadalupe River and then the lake about a mile away. Tall rigs need to carefully watch tree branches. - Shellback-X23

The park is under new ownership since August and they were born to own an RV park. They were the most gracious of hosts and went out of their way to satisfy all my requirements. All the facilities which I used which included the restrooms, showers and laundry were spotlessly clean. I would recommend this park without any reservations. - BEAR601

As this is the first review in a long time of this park, let me start by saying the orginal owner has repurchased the park after several years. He takes great pride in this property as it was his grandfathers ranch. The office is in his grandfathers barn, built in 1947, and very nicely redecorated. After check in he met us at the site to help us in and asked if we found everything to our liking. He apologized for the stickers (as others have menitioned) and said he was working on getting rid of them. Our 120 lb goldenpoo/Great Pyrenese did not get any. Everything worked great, no cable but stations from Austin and San Antoino can be recieved. Post Office is in front of park, but we did not hear a thing. We will definitely stay here on our way back north to OKC this sping. - rmartin

Was going to stay 2 weeks. There was no place for dog to walk without getting sand burrs. Owner was nice when I had to call to get site changed. Asked for pull through when I emailed, and was assigned a back-in. Decided to move closer to San Antonio after one night. Never saw any office personnel. Left money in locked office slot and moved on. - pascobaby

The park was full this weekend but hardly any day users so it was quiet. The trails are good, river phenomenal (some kids were playing in it but most folks were not) Temps were 40-70deg and sunny. Verizon signal spotty but txt worked. Our trailer is 35' and arriving at 730pm Friday, there was only one spot left that would fit our trailer, the others were not even close. Park rangers were diligent about keeping campers from getting too loud and rowdy. Blue bonnets were out in full force and the photography opportunities very good by the river as well. - starcraft35
Jul 2012 - $45.00
As stated in a previous review, this is NOT a state park. The SP is down the road. Campground is very basic with lots of full-timers and are friendly. It does back up to a working ranch and if you are looking in that direction, it's nice. Some really nice tent camping sites along the river however. Good utilities, and size of sites, but all are grass with some level and others not. River access is difficult at best, very steep and lots of big rocks to walk through. Due to lack of rain, river was hardly flowing and dirty. This place needs some serious updating and maintenance. Probably won't come back. - wakincowboy
Jun 2012 - $36.00
The staff was very helpful and friendly as well as very flexible with check-in and out times. The river access was beautiful and not crowded. It does require some physical agility in order to reach, as most points of entry are steep. I had no issues with the restroom but my husband said all the men's side were clogged. We enjoyed our stay and will be returning to enjoy more time on the river. - scarlet lace

We stayed in Turkey Sink, space 52. Site was pretty level with one block needed on front tires. Real nice hiking trail down to the river, where another trail followed river for 1/2 mile. Great photography opportunities. We are also able to access Honey Creek State Natural Area for a guided hike, which the hold every Saturday at 9:00 am.
Cell coverage and OTA channels were fine and we were able to get our DISH satellite working. Will definetely stay here again. - Davishouse2
Nov 2015 - $24.00
Overall the park is great. The trails are well maintained and the facilities are top notch (considering it's a state park). The camping sites are large and plenty of room to move around. Though the bathrooms are clean overall, the shower area within the bathrooms were in need of some attention.
The family has stayed at numerous state parks and this by far has been best maintained. - Pigcrib
Nov 2015 - $24.00
Very nice state park. The bathrooms were the cleanest we have seen anywhere. The sites are large and wooded in the Turkey Sink area. Some of the sites, while large are a little tight to back a big Motorhome into. Watch the overhead trees. Water and good 50 AMP service at sites. Great hiking, the river is breath taking, we and our dogs had a wonderful time playing in it. The Discovery Center is excellent and well staffed. Park hosts were as good as they get, very helpful. Wifi isn't available at the sites but you get a good signal at the bathrooms. Cell service isn't good, and we could only get 4 antenna TV stations. Wish we had known sooner, Tweedy's an excellent RV supply center, is only 7 miles down the road. Good if you need supplies or parts. - The Sandbox

We usually stay here when visiting our son in San Antonio. This is an older RV park. I could say "an oldie but a goodie." Almost the entire park is inhabited by permanent residents, but they keep several sites open towards the front for short term visitors. The office staff is friendly and efficient. This would not be my idea of a destination park as it has no type of entertainment, but it is a very good place to stay when visiting any of the local attractions. The people living here appear to be very friendly and welcoming. It must be popular because the office lady told me they had no long term sites available until April or May of 2017. I will be back. - Lynn Wagoner
Mar 2016 - $11.00
Rate reflects monthly rate. Stayed here from December to April.
Park is an older park with somewhat narrow asphalt roads and some sites can be a challenge to back into with a larger vehicle. Park is right on US 281 and getting out can be a challenge sometimes. Verizon air card worked fairly well and had 2 to 3 bars on my Verizon phone. Most sites have asphalt pads. Sites in the back of the park are gravel and under trees. Dog park is a hike down a rocky road that is somewhat washed out. You can get to the dog park going across some grass though. They have a guest house for visitors if you need it. Laundry rooms were clean but small. 4 washers and 5 driers in the one I used.
Owner is real friendly, along with the staff. Each site has a cement patio and a picnic table. Lots of permanent park models and long term campers. I would stay here again. - Paul_L63
Apr 2015 - $30.00
Previous reviews are spot on. Clean park, very pretty, lots of permanent folks. Staff is friendly. I'm writing this for several reasons. First, this park can not easily handle the big boys. Even though I specifically asked if they could handle a 45 foot motor home with tow and was assured they could and had room however, we were told upon arrival that they had to move people around to accommodate us. The site we were assigned to was substandard, too close for all of our slides to be opened. No offer to discount the site further, but they did tell us we could move over into the grass. Not a good idea as it was raining. Further, the electric pole was so short that our surge suppressor was laying on the ground. When we mentioned it we were told that was standard, everyone laid them on the ground.
Finally, this park is located on the east side of Hwy 281. This is a busy, divided highway with no easy way to get into the park if you are headed south on Hwy 281. You must go past the park and make a u turn back to the park. When going into San Antonio you leave the park driving north, take the first exit to make a u turn to head south to San Antonio. We were here 2 nights visiting family in San Antonio and although we like the park and wish they could accommodate big rigs we would not return due to the difficulty getting around. - Harley Oma

This is a 95 percent full time trailer park. There are paved road thru park, sites are gravel/dirt. The park is Expensive for what you get. $45.00 night, $245.00 week. The amenities advertised are not all working, you are lucky to be in a spot where Wifi and Cable are usable. $20.00 deposit cable box needed. I have used these boxes many times before and after trying two boxes the front office threw up its hands and says "we only provide cable because Time Warner gives it to us free, it's not ours you will have to call them." Many of the spots for short term , including mine, are next to road (noise) or against the UP railroad and a stone quarry (bad dust). I didn't use restrooms, can't rate. Front office is useless, backed by General Mgr who has been on job too long and doesn't care about individual customers issues. Location is asset, located close to I-35. If you have never heard of a non-refundable deposit, get ready. Laundry at park, ok but old machines, one of ours leaked. - Dieselrv08
Nov 2015 - $17.00
Facility filled with old park models. Extremely unlevel, gravel sites. Narrow streets filled with speed bumps and pot holes; very, very difficult to maneuver a big rig through. Satellite reception difficult or impossible due to trees. We lost power sporadically, especially during storms. Park poorly maintained. NOTE: The trees at our site prevented satellite reception, so we tried working with the management to move and were told nothing available and to keep trying. We tried for over a week and were told to check after the first of the month when the monthlies vacated their spots. When two sites came open that would work for us, we asked to move but were told they could not move us due to the way their "reservation system" worked. They had no intention of letting us move when they told us to keep checking back. When I called the office and spoke with the general manager, I was told "that's the way it is and next time you can go to another park," and HUNG UP on me! We have have traveled extensively and have NEVER encountered a park like this one! - CWinLV
Sep 2015 - $17.00
I stayed here for 6 months while on a work contract. The staff and maintenance people were friendly and so were the neighbors. Lots are larger than most places that I have been. Not packed in like sardines! Utilities were excellent and trash pick up is daily at your site. Fenced dog park with dog droppings bags supplied at all three dog parks. The price was $500.00 monthly which breaks down to $16.60/day for a monthly RV rate. Nothing extra is charged. - MedicineMan

Very nice park. Sites have concrete, covered patio with picnic table (minor issue - our awning hit the patio roof, so we couldn't fully open it). Hot tub was actually hot (most parks seem to have warm tubs). Huge rec room, although there were no planned activities while we were there (2 weeks). Fairly large pull-through sites. The sites were somewhat slanted to the left, but this was easily overcome with levelers and meant that the tanks drained easily (sewer hole was lower than hookups). Fresh water spigot was 20 ft from sewer, which was nice for cleanliness, but we needed to use a long hose. Only negative - the trains are frequent and noisy (they blow their horns because the local train crossing only have markers, not crossing gates). - Neil_and_Sandy
Feb 2016 - $20.00
Stayed here for the month of February. Large park but everyone is super friendly. Spots are a decent size but gravel and not very even. Many activities offered, i.e., Pot lucks, Super Bowl party, painting classes, ice-cream night and bingo. Very dog friendly with two dog runs and agility courses. The hot tub is hot, deep and clean. Pool is not heated and freezing. Wonderful laundry facilities with 10 washers and dryers.
You definitely need a car to get around for shopping and restaurants. We received several deliveries without any issues. My only knock is that while most staff were very friendly, the one woman who manages the front office could learn to smile once in a while. - Outlaw Pilots
Nov 2015 - $44.00
We had made reservations, however when we arrived someone was in the site they told us to take. They were quite helpful at the office and told us to take another site, however it was beyond a tight pull through (been full timing for 6 years, so know a tight turn). The turn could not be made because of trees and some type of patio, however they were more than willing to come and trim the trees so we did get into the site. Once we were in we realized all sites on this road tipped a lot on the downhill side so we had to use extra blocking on the tires to be reasonably level. - Al and Anne-Marie

After reading reviews of this RV Park we decided to stay here and made a reservation for 3 nights. After arriving we soon learned that the website made this park appear nicer that what it really turned out to be. The management was very friendly and helpfull, but they seem to be lacking when it comes to enforcing the rules on those that are permanent residents. The area around the spaces of the permanent residents was messy and many of the rigs were in disrepair. We had are two young children with us and arrived around 6PM and by the time we were finished setting up around 7PM the kids wanted to play. Although this is described as a family park we felt as though the atmosphere dictated that at this early hour it was quiet time and the kids should be kept inside. Additionally, the park was small and difficult to manuever around. With or without children there are much better choices in the area. - Lawman5383

Dissolved Black Carbon in the Global Carbon Cycle
Wildfires started charring biomass
shortly after land plants emerged some 480 million years ago. After wildfires a
wide range of charred residues remain. Black carbon refers to organic material
chemically altered by charring and it comes in many forms, ranging in chemistry
from minimally altered biomolecules to highly polycyclic aromatics. The latter
can only be formed at high temperatures, making them a telltale tracer of fire
derived organics. Of the wide range of charred material that remains after a
fire, the polycyclic aromatics are preferentially preserved, persisting in the
soil for hundreds to thousands of years. When we look to the oceans, we find
dissolved forms of these polycyclic aromatics and refer to them en masse as
dissolved black carbon (DBC). The oceanic pool of DBC also appears to resist
biodegradation and has subsequently accumulated throughout the deep ocean where
it represents about 2% of oceanic organic carbon stocks. This resistance to
biological decay in soils and in the oceans has resulted in polycyclic
aromatics becoming the largest, identifiable and therefore quantifiable store
of organic carbon on Earth.
Recent work with colleagues in GermanyFloridaFinlandBrazil
shown these two major global pools of black carbon to be connected by river
export. One of these studies published in Nature
Geoscience in 2012 showed that the burning of the now lost
Mata Atlantica, a former extension of the Amazon Rainforest in Brasil, resulted
in the generation of massive stores of black carbon. This black carbon on the
land is still being transferred to the oceans some 40 years after forest
clearing ceased. In 2013 we published an article in Science
reporting that about 10% of the dissolved organic carbon carried by rivers
globally is in the form of DBC. This suggests that dissolution into rivers may
be the major way in which black carbon is lost from global soil stores and that
rivers are the main source of DBC to the oceans.
Based upon radiocarbon dates and
near-conservative distribution patterns, DBC appears to persist for millennia
in the dark of the deep ocean. In contrast, all dissolved polycyclic aromatics
identified in the Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectra of
Congo River water were lost after 57 days of irradiation under simulated
sunlight (Stubbins et al. 2010) and we recently reported that greater
than 95% of DBC was lost from deep ocean water when irradiated with simulated
sunlight (Stubbins et al. 2012). These results suggest that sunlight
driven photoreactions may be the major pathway by which DBC is mineralized back
to CO2.
As we learn more about the global black
carbon cycle it is becoming clear that black carbon is not just a major store
of global carbon, but is also actively involved in the contemporary carbon
cycle and so vulnerable in a changing climate. For instance, if black carbon export
from soils, through rivers, to the oceans accelerates due to changing hydrology
then black carbon becomes susceptible to photo-mineralization to the greenhouse
gas CO2, precipitating a climate feedback.

Securities industry calls for quicker settlement
A shorter time lag between the execution of a trade and its settlement with payment would be beneficial to the securities industry, according to the findings of a survey of industry participants.
More than 70% of respondents to the Global Custodian survey said they were in favour of a shorter settlement cycle. Nearly 600 custodian banks, broker-dealers, fund managers and other financial institutions in Asia-Pacific, North America and Europe participated.
In its analysis of the survey data, trade matching and collateral management software firm Omgeo said a shift to a two-day cycle – known in the industry as T+2 – is highlighted in the European Union's central securities depository draft regulation, and is also part of Target2-Securities, the EU's initiative to harmonise trade settlement.
The benefits of a reduced settlement period include a reduction in counterparty risk and increased efficiency.
According to Omgeo, awareness of the case for shortening settlement times is highest in Europe (59%), where the advent of T2S will be preceded by a Europe-wide switch to settlement on T+2, and in Asia-Pacific (22%), where a number of markets already settle on T+2. Awareness is lowest in North America (6%), where the discussion around the shortening of settlement cycles is only starting to re-emerge, after the initiative was tabled in 2001.
However, market participants are struggling to getinto line with a move to a T+2 model. Omgeo said 60% of respondents believe the biggest determinant of success for a T+2 model would be receiving counterparty information on time.
A recent survey by The Boston Consulting Group showed that the US securities industry, which settles on T+3, would need three years to shorten the cycle to T+2.
Marianne Brown, chief executive of Omgeo, said: "The industry is moving toward accelerated settlement cycles, but the research shows that the buyside is still not ready. The irony is that many buyside firms want to move to shorter settlement cycles, but they need a regulatory stimulus so they can get the funding internally to invest in the necessary technology."

Multiple Grade 1 winner and 2011 Breeders' Cup Classic runner-up Game on Dude drew post position 9 Wednesday night and was installed the 5-2 morning line favorite to win the 22nd edition of the Grade 1, $1 million Pacific Classic this Sunday at Del Mar. The five-year-old gelded son of Awesome Again, owned by Diamond Pride, Lanni Famly Trust or Mercedes Stables, will once again have Chantal Sutherland in the tack as they take on nine rivals in the 1 1/4-mile test that is the seaside track's richest and most prestigious of its 75th anniversary year. Sutherland, who already has won five major stakes on the Kentucky-bred, will try for another and in the process attempt to become the first female rider to pull off the Southern California "triple" of the Grade 1 Santa Anita Handicap, the Grade 1 Hollywood Gold Cup and the Pacific Classic.

Whether looking for the perfect teachers' gift or the perfect late-night snack for a persnickety Santa, your kids will enjoy preparing treats for everyone on their list—not to mention themselves.
Popcorn Brittle
While replacing the nuts in brittle with popcorn certainly removes a lot of fat, it also results in a wonderful hybrid--part caramel corn, part brittle. The brittle is crunchy and sweet, with just a hint of saltiness. Editors suggest keeping the kids out of the kitchen until the mixture has cooled and set. Once it is ready to go, let them at it!

Labour Impact Category Application Process
Step #1 Application to PEI PNP Labour Impact Category:
- Read the entire application guide before completing the application forms.
- Complete the self-assessment and score 50 or more points to proceed to the application guide.
- The application guide provides detailed instructions and includes all forms.
- Follow the checklist and answer every question, gather all required supporting documents and include the application fee.
- Applicants should photocopy the complete application package for their records.
- Deliver the complete application package to the Office of Immigration.
- Notification to the applicant will occur when the Office of Immigration receives the application and a decision has been made.
Step #2 PEI PNP Approval and Application to IRCC:
- Successful PEI PNP applicants will receive a letter of approval and letter of instruction.
- Upon receipt of the letter of approval, the applicant will need to apply to IRCC to continue the immigration process for permanent residency to Canada.
- The applicant will be required to provide the letter of approval to IRCC along with all IRCC forms, supporting documents and applicable fees.
- IRCC will provide notification to the applicant upon receipt of the application and a decision has been made. (The Office of Immigration makes no representation of processing times for permanent resident visas by IRCC, for details visit IRCC at www.cic.gc.ca
Step #3 IRCC Approval, Landing in Canada and Reporting to Office of Immigration:
- If approved by IRCC for permanent resident status, the applicant will receive written confirmation and permanent resident visas will be issued.

- Upon arrival in Canada the applicant must contact the Office of Immigration within 30 days of arrival to register and arrange a post arrival appointment. To contact the Office of Immigration, please call (902) 620-3628 or email firstname.lastname@example.com
The Office of Immigration establishes nomination targets for the program. Priority will be given to candidates who demonstrate the greatest potential to economically establish and settle in the province.
Please be advised that in no way does a Prince Edward Island nomination guarantee that the applicant will receive a permanent resident visa. Do not make permanent arrangements to move to Prince Edward Island (example: leave the job, sell the property, etc.) until the application for a Permanent Resident Visa has been assessed and confirmed by IRCC via the visa office/embassy.
Under the Labour Impact Category, some applicants have obtained work or study permits from IRCC and may already be living in Prince Edward Island prior to nomination. Therefore, if the application is declined or the applicant withdraws the applicant will be required to leave Canada and return to the home country when the work/study permit expires.
IRCC is responsible for ensuring all applications for permanent resident status meet the requirements of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act and all statutory admissibility checks are completed. IRCC has the final authority to approve or refuse an application for permanent residency.

JRF stages protest in remembrance of Jiang Guo-qing
By Wen Shin Kuo, The China Post
October 11, 2012, 12:11 am TWN
The Judicial Reform Foundation (JRF, 民間司法改革基金會) gathered around 40 supporters for a 10-minute and 10-second moment of silence in memory of wrongfully executed Air Force Private Jiang Guo-qing (江國慶) at the Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall (自由廣場) yesterday.
Supporters gathered with the JRF, a nonprofit organization, to protest the wrongful conviction of Jiang, calling for his family to be compensated. They also called for the prosecution of Chen Zhao-min (陳肇敏), former Air Force Headquarters commander at the time of the case, saying he was negligent and overlooked prosecution procedures.
Jiang's birthday falls on Oct. 10, which is also the Taiwanese National Day. Jiang's given name was "Guo-qing" (meaning national celebration in Mandarin) because he was born on Double Tenth Day. A university student at yesterday's event said that it was ironic that Jiang was killed due to the mistakes of the nation, yet his name celebrated the nation.
JRF student representative Liao Zi-fan (廖姿樊) expressed the hope that the judicial system would investigate the civil and criminal liability of Chen and other related personnel. Liao also hoped that Jiang's family would receive government compensation. According to the Taiwanese judicial system, Chen cannot be prosecuted given that the prosecution period has expired.
Jiang's case, the rape and murder of a 5-year-old girl in 1996, was reopened last year. Taipei prosecutors concluded that Jiang's conviction in 1996 — with his execution enforced in 1997 — was the result of a coerced confession that resulted from the torture of Jiang by military investigators. New evidence found by prosecutors at the scene of the crime led to the arrest of Jiang's fellow service member Xu Rong-zhou (許榮洲), on Jan. 28, 2011. Xu later confessed to the crime. The Military Court last year declared that Jiang was innocent. The Ministry of National Defense issued a NT$130 million compensation to Jiang's family, but the family members have yet to receive it because the Taipei District Court is still processing court-related documents.

In the first two parts of this series I discussed what I thought the depth chart would look like for the "skill" players and offensive line.
This time, I'll be looking at the defensive line.
Just like the offensive line, the defensive line is very difficult to predict. There are a lot of new players, a lot of options, and a lot of variables to consider—defensive ends that can play tackle, defensive tackles that can play end, and linebackers that can play defensive end.
All of these options make it almost impossible to predict the defensive line depth chart with any confidence of being right. Therefore, I've decided to offer up two options that could occur in an attempt to get at least something right.
That said, let's get moving on this.

Review: Pegg and Frost score big laughs and raw emotions in Wright's 'World's End'
Has it really been nine years since "Shaun Of The Dead"?
In some ways, it feels like that just happened, but when I consider how much ground Edgar Wright, Simon Pegg and Nick Frost have covered in those nine years, it's sort of amazing. After all, when "Shaun" went into production, they were best known for a small cult English television show, and they were working completely independently, off the radar. That film's release was a gamble for Focus/Rogue, at least in part because of just how very English the humor is, and it paid off for them. "Hot Fuzz" in 2007 was equally local in its sensibility, and it also showed that Pegg and Frost weren't interested in just playing the same characters in different situations.
One of the hardest things about the position that Wright finds himself in now is the simple difference between surprising people with a small movie and then delivering on a decade's worth of expectations, and I suspect that no matter what, "The World's End" will frustrate some viewers. It's not a movie designed to simply punch the pleasure button and comfort fans by repeating what they've done before. In fact, it may be a direct refutation of that idea, by design, and in some ways, it feels like it's going to be a bitter pill for some people to swallow.
Both Shaun and Nick Angel, the characters that Pegg played in "Shaun of the Dead" and "Hot Fuzz," were presented in fairly sympathetic terms. Shaun's a bit of a slacker, stuck in a low gear to the frustration of the people around him, but he's a generally good guy, and when things go south, he rises to the occasion. Nick is more of a hard-ass on the outside, but there is a loneliness to him that finds some salve in the way Danny Butterman (Frost) takes to him, making him part of his town. In "The World's End," Pegg tests the limits of audience sympathies for the first time, playing Gary King, who may just be the world's biggest tit.
In the film's opening, we hear Gary recount the story of the greatest night of his life, which took place on the last day of high school when he set out with his friends to accomplish The Golden Mile, a 12-stop pub crawl through their local town, Newton Haven. They didn't accomplish it back in 1990, and it's gnawed at Gary ever since. That's your first clue as to what this film's really about. For most people, a night of drinking that took place 23 years ago would not be the metric by which the entire rest of their life was measured, but for Gary, that's as good as it ever got.
Gary decides to try the Golden Mile again, but he can't do it alone. He needs the original crew, and as he goes to try to get each of them aboard the plan, we quickly see how hesitant they are to have anything to do with him. Oliver (Martin Freeman), Peter (Eddie Marsan) and Steven (Paddy Considine) are at least willing to talk to Gary, but all three of them seem amazed that Gary would have the nerve to go see Andrew (Nick Frost) face to face again. Andrew was always Gary's right hand man, his best friend, but whatever happened between them two decades ago ended that completely, and Andrew wants nothing more to do with his former friend.
Andrew's a teetotaler, for one thing, and we can deduce that his reasons have something to do with whatever happened with Gary King. There was also some money involved. When they do finally meet, Gary manipulates Andrew shamelessly, and by the time he's done, Andrew wants to believe that time has made a better person of Gary King.
Sadly, that is not the case.
By the time the five men assemble in Newton Haven, one would assume we're in for a film about the way old dynamics reassert themselves, a movie about how hard it is to go home, and there is some of that in the film. There's a rhythm that the guys drop into almost immediately, and Gary is positively giddy to have everyone there. He is convinced that this night, completing this task, is some vital part of his own personal journey, and he attacks the evening, determined. Right away, though, the film starts to poke holes in the very idea of nostalgia. No one seems to remember Gary and his friends at all. The pubs they go into have all been homogenized to a disturbing degree so that it's like twelve copies of the same building instead of these small personal expressions of someone's identity. And worst of all, with Andrew not drinking, Gary feels like he's got to pick up the slack, and he starts getting sloppy almost immediately.

Summer Movie Season's Biggest Questions
Is 'Killers' as bad as Carl Ichan says? Does 'Shrek' have any gas left? Is 'Predator's the surprise hit?
Could "Beastly" be CBS Film's first breakout hit?
It's been a tough start for newbie distributor CBS Films. Their first release, "Extraordinary Measures," was a huge bomb and the jury is still out whether Jennifer Lopez can make a comeback in "The Back-Up Plan" in April. One film, however, that has been generating buzz amongst tweens online for over 9 months is the reimagining of "Beauty and the Beast," "Beastly."
With newcomer Alex Pettyfer and teen favorite Vanessa Hudgens on board, "Beastly" has the opportunity to be a very solid hit (not blockbuster mind you), for CBS. It will have strong competition in its second week from similarly skewing "Step Up 3-D," but if it can get a big enough headstart, it could give CBS topper Les Moonves something to smile about.

Skip to comments.Orange County FL PD Live Press Conference (Anthony Trial Fallout)
Posted on 07/12/2011 10:43:14 AM PDT by truthkeeper
This live thread will cover the Orange County (FL) investigators' news conference today on the Caylee Anthony case. It is set to start at 1:30 p.m. EST. It was reported that it is being held due to intense public demand for information on this case. The participants will include: 1. Sgt. Allen 2. Det. Melich 3. CSI Bloise (forensics) 4. Dep. Forgy (K-9 handler) 4. Dep. Osbourne (computer specialist: chloroform)
No details. He's playing it close to the vest.
If I were investigating, I would look to see how much money was deposited into the jurors' Cayman Islands bank accounts.
(Yes, I read too much John Grisham.)
So now we all know something that I'll bet will go unreported. You Florida FReepers will have to keep us informed.
Thinks Caylee's law is good (no surprise there- but I think it is a feel good law.)
We did our job. The best we could. We are moving on.
Yuri's wife glad it is over.
Sources: asking about sealed images of Caylee. Investigaors say NO
Someone asking about all of the lies in the case. "This case was built on lies" How do you feel about that?
Response: not uncommon for people to lie. BUT these lies took up precious resources. Taxpayer funded. Money could have been used to find other missing kids.
I have to wonder if there was some jury tampering too. Not saying there was, but it was a very peculiar verdict, and they reached it in a very peculiar manner.
Refuses to speculate what they might have found if Kronk would not have been blown off.
Sheriff: They held deputy accountable. He no longer works for this agencey.
One would hope some place better. The woman didn't even look clean.
Keep us updated.
"Money could have been used to find other missing kids."
Good point. I hope Equusearch sues and gets reimbursed for the thousands of dollars Casey's lies took away from other searches.
Do you know what kinds of acts would be considered jury misconduct?
Intellgence section assessing threats to Casey (as they come in). Hopes people step back, regardless of feelings and not comment another crime.
Didn't the jury factor in the jailhouse video of Casey and her parents laughing at the theory of drowning or did they just take Jose at his word while ignoring the fact the family disputed it?
No, but I think I've heard that talking about the case outside of the court room is misconduct, and I believe one or two of the jurors have said they did just that. I was actually thinking of jury tampering (by the defense) when I wrote that post, not misconduct.
Oh, I don't know—accepting a bundle of cash so you can quit your job at Publix and retire to Costa Rica?
I remember the alternate juror, Russell something, blabbed first. He said "all 17 agreed" (among other comments) and I inferred from his comments that they had all been discussing the case before it had even been given to them. (Disclaimer: Just my take.)
This cop just said the witness tampering investigation is "ongoing" and therefore cannot give any details.
OCSO contacted Casey through Baez's office regarding sexual abuse charges to investigate. Those offers were declined.
Never determined who father was.
LOL. Me too.
I'm sorry. I knew you were talking about jury tampering and I have a good idea of what that amounts to but your remark made me wonder whether jury misconduct might be an issue too and I don't know exactly what is considered jury misconduct. Talking outside the deliberation rooms is no doubt one method. I'll have to do a web search to find out if there are others. It just seems to me this jury might have crossed other lines.
Mostly just softball lib feely type questions. Id rather doubt there is any additional information to cling to from this. jmo
Thanks, yes, I recall the alternate talking as though he'd been sitting in on all of the deliberations which made me believe they'd discussed the case outside of court. I wasn't sure if that rose to the level of jury misconduct though it makes sense that it would. I'll have to do a search to see what other things constitute jury misconduct.
Maybe there are some interview transcripts. I'd love to see some fines hit these dufuses. (or would that be dufii?)
I would agree, except for post #45. Now that's interesting.
I believe it's conceivable they discussed it before deliberations.
Please send me a FReepmail after you do so. Thx
Will do!
And didn't the judge tell the jury each day not to discuss this case?
Not to mention that Jose Baez was acting all cocky the morning of the verdict. Remember him acting like six shooter in the hallway?
Remember it all too well.
Well, have to go to an appointment in town—luckily, the news conference is over, so I won't be missing anything from that. Interesting news conf, especially about the possible witness tampering...
..and I think y'all missed the police saying George was never...a suspect....and the lead detective saying Casey IS the suspect.
They never put much credence in the 'Daddy molested me' junk...
..as they said...the only one saying this was Casey....a proven liar.
Defense witness tampering==New Trial!!!
October 21, 2010
ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. — A private investigator working for the defense is being accused of witness tampering, WFTV was told by two EquuSearch volunteers Wednesday. They said both witnesses gave similar stories.
Defense private investigator Jeremy Lyons is being accused by two EquuSearch volunteers of trying to change their testimony about searching the scene where Caylee"s remains were later found. One has already been deposed by the defense and the other has given a statement to investigators.
Lyons was in court recently examining EquuSearch records. He keeps a low public profile, but behind the scenes, he's talking to EquuSearch volunteers who are not happy about it.
Brett Churchill and Brett Reilly, both prosecution witnesses in Casey Anthony's murder case, feel Lyons was trying to get them to change their testimony.
"I felt in my mind, yes, he was trying to tamper with me, in a sense," Churchill said.
"As far as I'm concerned, it's almost like tampering with other witnesses to misrepresent the truth that way," Reilly said.
Both say the exact area on Suburban Drive where Caylee's remains were found December 11, 2008, was under water and unsearchable until the month before.
Churchill had already been questioned under oath by the defense for two and a half hours, but says that didn't stop the defense investigator from going to his house and lying to him about Reilly's story.
"He basically was asking me if what I said in my deposition was the exact story because he had others who fared differently, one of them being Brett Reilly," Churchill said.
Reilly says he warned Lyons not to twist his words after seeing what the defense has done to others. He says Lyons promised not to, but then found out he did exactly that.
WFTV legal analyst Bill Sheaffer says the defense investigator is traveling through dangerous territory.
"The statute specifically says you cannot engage in misleading conduct," Sheaffer said.
Reilly said he complained to defense attorney Cheney Mason about the situation and both told the sheriff's office.
Casey is headed back to court Friday, October 29, for a status hearing. At the hearing her defense team will ask a state agency to reconsider a recent request for thousands of dollars in funding to cover lodging and travel expenses.
The Justice Administrative Commission had previously challenged that request, saying the defense needs to prove the money is really needed for the case.

#CaseyAnthony detectives confirm criminal witness tampering investigation re Laura Buchanan ongoing.
4 minutes ago
Laura Buchanan thought she would pull a quick one and claim she had searched Suburban Drive [her paperwork claims different]. She called Joe Jordan and while talking she says:
LB: Hey this is Laura, Im the Kentucky Law Enforcement officer that searched with you
JJ: I dont remember you
LB: Oh yeah, well we searched together on Suburban Drive
She then wanted Joe Jordan to talk to someone at Baezs office. She stated she was working with someone in Baez office, and she felt he should talk to someone there. He pretty much told her not to call him anymore. He does state she was fishing!
"...Juror #11 suggested that the "jury" even thought perhaps George Anthony was the killer."
I don't know if George Anthony was the actual killer but I do believe that he and his wife had a hand in covering up the crime.
I couldn't watch Greta interview Juror #11 last night as I had to be at work at 5:00 am today. Did he say anything else? Anything at all worth hearing?
I couldn't bring myself to watch because my intelligence has been insulted too many times by these bozos. From the clips I saw afterward, I'm glad I went with my instincts. Sounds like the ringleader of the "George Anthony did it" crowd.
I don't disagree, but only in the sense of covering up Casey's involvement. I don't think they had anything to do with Caylee's disappearance. Cindy especially, what with washing Casey's pants, throwing Texas Equisearch off the track, perjury re chloroform, etc.
Ugh! Pretty much what I was afraid of.
I know the bonds of parental love are strong, but how could they even want to help Casey even if they had an inkling that she had done something to hurt Caylee?
These are 12 people that were too stupid to get out of jury duty
Title 18, U.S.C., Sec. 1512, makes it a Federal crime or offense for anyone to use intimidation or physical force to threaten another person with intent to influence the testimony of a witness in any Court proceeding.
A person can be found guilty of that offense only if all of the following facts are proved beyond a reasonable doubt: First: That the witness was scheduled to be a witness in court; Second: That the person used intimidation/physical force against such witness; and Third: That the person did so knowingly and willfully with the intent to influence the testimony of the witness.
To act with intent to "influence" the testimony of a witness means to act for the purpose of getting the witness to change or color or shade his or her testimony in some way; but it is not necessary to prove that the witness' testimony was, in fact, changed in any way. Sounds like that there has to be some kind of threat, or coercion, involved.
Might that witness be Cindy Anthony?
Hmmmmm. Or George?. Or Equaasearch?

Nature: Low-reflection wings make butterflies nearly invisible
The effect is known from the smart phone: Sun is reflected by the display and hardly anything can be seen. In contrast to this, the glasswing butterfly hardly reflects any light in spite of its transparent wings. As a result, it is difficult for predatory birds to track the butterfly during the flight. Researchers of KIT under the direction of Hendrik Hölscher found that irregular nanostructures on the surface of the butterfly wing cause the low reflection.
