Admit it, you're stuck. There's at least one move you've been having some serious trouble with. Here are 10 ways to nail that new move.
1. Break it down
Every move in prop manipulation can be broken down into a series of simpler moves. For example, if you're working on a trick that requires movements with both hands, try one hand at a time until the movements feel ingrained in muscle memory. Then try bringing the two halves together.
2. Watch a tutorial
Since the birth of YouTube there's been an explosion in the quality and availability of tutorials. Get clear instruction streaming right to your computer screen. If you find that tutorials are a really effective way for you to learn, you might consider looking into online classes.
3. Check out a demo
Perhaps the move you're working on doesn't have a tutorial or the ones you found are unclear. It helps to find a video where the move is being executed expertly and comparing the movements to your own. Use a mirror to help Identify what you are doing differently from the video.
4. Slow Mo
Many online video players including the one on Juggling.tv have a slow motion toggle. Slow down the movement to see the intricacies of each element in the trick. A good visial understanding will help you replicate it.
5. Watch Yourself
Both mirrors and video can be useful for helping you connect the way a movement looks and the why it feels. This is especially important in isolation work. My personal favorite while traveling is to use the isight camera on my Mac or when playing outside, the reflection in glass doors and windows. Your shadow on a sunny day makes a great mirror as well.
6. Mime it
If you can't seem to get the move with your prop in motion, set it aside and walking through the move. Miming the movement without the prop will activate your muscle memory. The motion will feel more intuitive once the prop is reintroduced.
7. Visualize it
The ability to imagine scenarios that have not yet happened is one of the things that make human beings unique. When you imagine an experience, it lights up many of the same areas of your brain that are active when you actually engaged in the activity. Imagine getting a bad paper cut; you cringed a little, and this is because imagining the experience is real to parts of your mind.
Visualization often used in gymnastics. Athletes spend part of their training imagining the routine and how each step feels. Routinely walking though troublesome moves in your mind will allow you to take advantage of this mental hack. You can read more about the power of visualization by visiting this link.
8. Be a puppet
If you have access to someone who knows the move, ask them to "manipulate" your body through the steps of the trick. Moving through the trick's pattern activates your muscle memory. When on your own with your toys your body will have a much easier time hitting those pre-set targets. Knowing how your body should move makes it's easier to feel what you are doing incorrectly.
9. Sleep on it
As we uncover the secrets of the brain, neuroscientists discover that sleep is crutial to memory and learning. Sleep allows your brain to process the experiences of the day during through "Non-REM sleep". So while your eyes are closed and you're resting, parts of your brain that were lit up during your attempt to nail the behind the back weave will be active. As a result you learn while you sleep.
On this note it's important to get a good night sleep as often as you can just as a part of healthy living. Read more here.
10. Change toys
Most prop manipulators play with multiple toys. Since many moves can be done with more than one prop, if you are stuck on a particular move, why not try with a more familiar prop. For example, you might find that the corkscrew in hooping becomes easier once you walk through the move with poi. Also try a bigger hoop, a shorter set of poi or heavier balls. Switch it up and get a fresh perspective.
We all hit a wall eventually. It's easy to stick to the moves you know and fall into a lazy pattern when moves that seem impossible dampen your spirits. Stop, breathe and remember to celebrate all the incremental improvements. Good luck.

Mr. Frost indicated that the College have lost several classified positions and does not need to change these positions to nonclassified. Ms. Crowe asked if these positions were all the same at the other state colleges/universities. Mrs. Johnson said they were mixed. Dr. Guy recommended to approve these positions as nonclassified but if they are vacated to revert the positions back to classified status. A motion was made and seconded (NKantor/JStafford) to approve these positions as nonclassified, but change them back to classified status when they are vacated. Motion carried.
Academic/Student Affairs
Dr. Eaves mentioned the following:
Program Reviews
Dr. Eaves said the College currently has one program review, the B.A. in Humanities. Information concerning this matter will be brought to the Board meeting in February.
Collaborative MSN degree program
Dr. Eaves said the MSN program in collaboration with BSC has started with 12 students in attendance at BSC and five at Marshall. He said BSC anticipates offering this program in two to three years without it being a collaborative program.
Collaborative Masters/Engineering program
Dr. Eaves said Mr. Frank Hart, Dean of the School of Engineering Technology & Computer Science is working closely with Pittsburg State University in Kansas. Dr. Eaves said BSC faculty would be teaching a number of the courses in this program. He said Mr. Hart is also talking to Virginia Tech regarding the possibility of additional masters/engineering technology programs.
Professor of the Year
Dr. Eaves announced that Dr. Steve Bourne has been nominated as one of five individuals under consideration for the Faculty Merit Foundations Professor of the Year award in West Virginia. Dr. Bourne is going to Charleston next week for a final interview with the selection committee.
Accomplishment & Goals
Dr. Walker indicated that he will be meeting with his cabinet to discuss their goals and objectives. Dr. Walker said he would send to the Board information regarding cabinet members area accomplishments if they wanted to receive this information. Board members indicated they wanted copies of cabinet members accomplishments.
Mr. Kantor asked Jim Nelson to write a news release detailing these graduate programs and indicate in the MSN program story the number of BSC students who have registered for this program and also to write news release on Dr. Steve Bournes nomination for the Faculty Merit Foundation award.
Media Relations
Jim Nelson mentioned that a button and bookmark were placed at each Board members seat to promote awareness of the Colleges Black History Month program of activities.
He also reviewed the mid-year accomplishments for the office of Media Relations.
Enrollment Management
Jim Nelson also presented an enrollment report update for Mr. John Cardwell, Executive Director of Enrollment Management, who was coordinating spring semester general registration at the Beckley/NRCTC meeting. He noted that the percentage of minority students college-wide has declined, but the total number of minority students at the College has increased. He attributed the minority student percentage decline to the addition of the Nicholas County campus, which has only one African-American student enrolled. He said one challenge that Bluefield State College faces is the need to increase the diversity of its student population.
He said fall enrollment showed a 26.7% increase over a year ago, 8% when factoring out students from the NRCTC/Nicholas County site (students not counted as BSC students in year-ago figures). Spring semester has shown an overall increase compared to one year ago of 22.5%. The College has 2966 students enrolled on this date, as compared to 2414 one year ago.
New River Community & Technical College
Dr. Dave Perkins announced the following:
Accreditation Progress Update for New River Community & Technical College
Dr. Perkins indicated that activities continue to progress independent accreditation. He gave out the timeline for institutional accreditation for New River Community & Technical College.
Dr. Perkins said the Preliminary Information Form report is at the printers and will be mailed to the accrediting body tomorrow. He said it will take sometime to receive a response from the North Central Association team.
The next task is the Self-Study Report. Because of the time frame, Dr. Perkins has already initiated activities involved in developing the self-study report. A Self-Study Committee has been set up comprised of the following: Dr. Felica Blanks, Chair, Dr. John Mullens, Co-Chair, Dr. Mindy Maher, Dr. Tom Blevins, Mrs. Elizabeth Belcher, and Mr. Ken Baker.
There was discussion concerning the accreditation process and progress.
Policies for New River Community & Technical College
Dr. Perkins said Elizabeth Belcher reviewed the policies for New River Community & Technical College. She said they were the same policies that Bluefield State College has in place and were the same policies that the Board had approved for BSC. The only changes made were the title changes. Mrs. Anne Crowe made a recommendation to allow the Board members time to review these policies and vote on them at the next Board meeting. This recommendation was approved by Board members.
Virtual College
Dr. Tom Blevins mentioned the following:
Internet Radio Station
Dr. Blevins said he and Jim Nelson met with Wisdom Media and Star 95 to see if they could provide radio programming for use on the Colleges streaming audio radio station. He said equipment has been ordered and design plans have been submitted to the maintenance department for construction of the station. He said work is continuing to prepare the station for broadcasting.
Ten data ports have been installed in the Hardway Library.
Plans are proceeding for expanding the BSC Archives, and steps have been taken to develop a College records management program.
Currently, six WebCT courses are being offered by the College, with 15 to be offered during the fall semester. Dr. Blevins mentioned several courses that will be offered online.
He said the College has 800 desktop computers and 15 servers. One hundred new computers were placed into use during the prior semester.
Institutional Development & Advancement
Dr. Felica Blanks said:
New River Community & Technical College
There is a need to raise funds for New River Community & Technical College and to provide grant-writing training. Training is also needed in developing relationships with individuals and organizations in the Raleigh and Nicholas County areas.
Neighborhood Investment Program
The College has received NIP tax credits of $52,000.
Cultural Activities
The need exists for more arts-based and cultural enrichment activities at the College. Dr. Blanks said Dr. Heaggans is working to arrange these types of activities.
Dr. Blanks said the BSC Research & Development Corporation has extended a contract for the purchase of the building. She said Marshall Miller and Associates will do an environmental analysis of the building and after this is completed the contract will go to the PSC for approval. She indicated that the projected closing date could be by the end of March.
Presidents Report
Dr. Walker delivered a PowerPoint presentation that highlighted many of his offices activities over the past two months.
Meeting Date
The next Board meeting will be held on February 19, 2004.
Mr. Jack Stafford indicated that at the last meeting the Board approved policies. However in Policy 29, Mr. Stafford said that under 8.14.1 the provisions of this policy do not apply to procuring professional engineering/architectural services. These services shall be procured in accordance with Chapter 5G, West Virginia Code. Chairman Barnes asked Shelia to review this matter and report back to the Board. Dr. Walker asked whether the State Attorney Generals office should be contacted. A motion was made and seconded (Stafford/Frost) to amend Policy 29 to reflect the pertinent provisions of Chapter 5G of the State code. Motion carried.
With no other business to transact, the meeting adjourned at 9:50 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,

Much is being and will be made of Ruben Amaro's need to organize his team's outfield – and, subsequently, his team's lineup – this winter. The departure of a high-profile player like Jayson Werth (imagine saying that in 2007) only makes this issue even more prevalent.
What's being pushed to the back burner as a consequence, however, is perhaps an even greater hole left to be filled: left-handed relief. J.C. Romero, whose $4.5M club option for 2011 was bought out for $250k, is unlikely to return. Cole Hamels doesn't pitch in relief, Jamie Moyer's long career may finally be coming to an end, and J.A. Happ was traded to Houston in the Roy Oswalt deal. Antonio Bastardo, then, is the only lefty in the organization returning to the Major League club. While Bastardo is still young (he turned 25 in September), he's yet to see enough time in the Bigs to really be considered "proven," and the Phillies will certainly need a fellow southpaw for backup.
So, who's the best left-handed relief option out there? The list of lefties available in free agency is far from impressive, but there are a few pitchers would still be fine additions to the Philly relief corps. The best/most-bandied among them – Scott Downs, Pedro Feliciano, Brian Fuentes and Hisanori Takahashi – all represent varying degrees of upgrade, and each carries different baggage.
Scott Downs
2010 Overall: 61.1 IP, 48 K, 14 BB, 0.995 WHIP
2010 vs. LHB: .152/.247/.241, 20 K, 7 BB, 89 PA
Downs, who will be 35 on Opening Day, is the only Type A free agent in this group. Every Type A signing represents a fair deal of risk, as it requires the forfeiture of the signing team's first unprotected draft pick. The Phils, who pick at 33 this coming June, would have to surrender that pick to the Toronto Blue Jays if they sign Downs.
The value of a first-round pick, especially in a draft class being widely touted as one of the deepest in years, is significant. Signing a relief pitcher at the cost of such a pick is often risky business, but Downs provides a bit of assurance with his track record. Not only was Downs extremely efficient against left-handed batters in 2010, he was also able to retire right-handed batters with relative ease, too, holding righties to a collective .243/.283/.354 line in 152 PA. A lefty reliever who faced more than half-again as many righties as lefties and was quite effective in the process is a fairly rare commodity.
Downs would likely be the most expensive to sign of these four relievers, even before his Type A status is factored in, but he appears to be worth the marginal wins he would be expected to provide. Remember, too, that Jayson Werth's departure is all but assured, and he will net the Phillies a draft pick, as well. The Angels' first-round pick is protected, but major suitors like the Tigers and Red Sox have first-round picks before the Phillies. Something to consider.
Pedro Feliciano
2010 Overall: 62.2 IP, 56 K, 30 BB, 1.532 WHIP
2010 vs. LHB: .211/.297/.276, 35 K, 10 BB, 139 PA
What an ironic twist a signing like this would represent. Feliciano, the perpetual, omnipresent Mets lefty who so regularly faced Chase Utley and held Ryan Howard in check for years, signing on to pitch for the Phillies? It would almost seem extra beneficial to sign him, just so Howard (.194/.237/.306 with 14 K in 38 PA vs. Feliciano) wouldn't have to face him again.
Feliciano's Type B status does not affect the Phillies' draft situation – nor any other team's – and so he may appear to be a more appetizing option than a pitcher like Downs, especially at a (likely) lower price, thereby raising competition for his services. Feliciano has proved to be very durable, leading the Majors in appearances for three straight seasons with at least 86 entrances in each. He'll turn 36 in August, and his control may present some concern, but unless he's signed for more than two years, he should provide plenty of value, too.
Brian Fuentes
2010 Overall: 48 IP, 47 K, 20 BB, 1.063 WHIP
2010 vs. LHB: .128/.222/.149, 18 K, 4 BB, 55 PA
Fuentes, also a member of the mid-30s crowd, split time last season between Anaheim and Minnesota. The 35-year-old has more of a power approach than either Downs or Feliciano, and his career 9.8 K/9 easily outpaces Feliciano's 8.2 and Downs's 7.0 marks while not being exceptionally wild (career 3.8 BB/9).
Fuentes, like Feliciano, earned Type B status, but the market for his services may prove more limited. Dating back to 2005 with the Rockies, Fuentes has often been placed in the "closer's" role, limiting his action to the ninth inning. As such, he'll probably only be courted by teams looking for someone to accumulate numbers in the save statistic category, not those looking for general relief (like the Phillies). This could be one such instance where the limitation of the "closer" role could diminish a player's marketability, and the Phillies will not be players unless Fuentes opens up to the possibility of utility relief.
Hisanori Takahashi
2010 Overall: 122 IP, 114 K, 43 BB, 1.303 WHIP
2010 vs. LHB: .217/.274/.270, 37 K, 9 BB, 126 PA
Takahashi will turn 36 on the second day of the season (sensing a pattern?), and he may just be the most intriguing prospect among this group. As a 35-year-old rookie with the Mets, Takahashi started 12 games, finished 21 more and appeared in utility relief in 20 others. He comes with no Type A or B distinction, and is rumored to be seeking a three-year contract.
The 2010 season is the only book anyone has on Takahashi in the Major Leagues, though his career with the Yomiuri Giants in Japan shows some back-and-forth between effectiveness and mediocrity. In all, there isn't much defense for a man of Takahashi's age asking for a contract of that length. How would he be used? Can he handle the workload of being a full-time starter, or is he destined to repeat the pure utility role like the one he had with the Mets in 2010? At the same time, if he can be talked down from his three-year demands, Takahashi would appear to be a valuable asset in relief.
It seems a little early to make a declaration about Takahashi, and that alone is a reason to be a bit wary. He's a bit of an enigma, and in the face of three other players who have had proven success in the Majors, Takahashi seems to be the fourth-best option.

The Dipsy
Mitch Williams looks pretty good.
fuentes. hands down
For the right $ amount, Fuentes at his age might accept "utility" status on a team with a chance to win it all. It would also give us a lefty closer option if needed.
how bout none of them?
Am I the only one who feels comfortable with lil' bastard? he's already better than romero, and apparently we didn't have any issues becoming WFC with Romero being the only lefty specialist in the pen.
bsizzle- I have no problem with Bastardo, but we need more than one. Think about the waves of Lefties the Giants threw at us. They are now WFC, times change, we have to change with them.
@lefty, yeah I agree there. you want at least 2 lefties in the BP, but I'd be ok with putting Bastardo at #1 lefty and taking a chance with a cheaper guy (Meyer? Zagurski?) at #2. You just never know with relievers, one year they suck. The next, they're Javier Lopez. But all those guys in the list above are going to make at least $4mm/yr.
I sort of agree with bsizzle. The Phils' pen was not as bad as it sometimes seemed last year, and relief pitchers are always risky investments. The Phils have a lot of internal help available, even if there is only one real lefty option. Let Bastardo be first on the LOOGY depth chart, and take some fliers on some minor league guys and ineffective starters and see if any stick. That's how they found Contreras; it's a good method for not overspending on your pen. That being said, if they must sign one of these guys, I think Takahashi is the best investment if he can be talked down from that three year stuff.
And for the love of god, cut Danys Baez, he's a sunk cost.
I'm not a fan of Feliciano, although he's been a model of consistency. Something worries me about all those games and innings for 5 straight years.
Don't mind Fuentes, but I'm also not a fan of spending $4mil-plus on relievers, especially less-than-one inning guys.
Agreed. Dan Meyer isn't that bad actually. I'd feel comfortable with him and Bastardo going into the season. I don't want to surrender draft picks for a lefty reliever, even if its late inning. I would wait to see if one of those guys is not offered arbitration. I would think out of Downs, Fuentes, and Feliciano, one of them will not be offered arbitration. I would suspect actually that it will be Downs. Feliciano is due to get injured and miss a whole season anytime now – it could even be playing catch in the backyard with his children, if he has any. However, if he didn't have all that workload on his arm that would be our guy. He was meant to be a Phillie actually, since he knows us so well and is kryptonite to our lefties and has been his whole career in New York. I love his sweeping slider.
Otherwise, I would keep Bastardo, Meyer, and bring in another guy similar to Meyer who can compete with those two in ST. Thats a position where you can find a guy on the scrap heap and he will bounce back and be great for you – much like Romero's first two seasons here and much like the ever-missed Scott Eyre.
Feliciano and Fuentes are Type B, not A, so they wouldn't cost the Phillies picks even if they are offered arb — the former team just gets a compensation pick in the supplemental round.
Ah yes I forgot thanks. Still, waiting may be a smart option. Fuentes and Downs are not worth the years and money they will ask for. feliciano would be if he wasnt so overworked. I am just not a fan of giving anyone but the closer and setup man in the pen anything more than a two year deal. Contreras' deal is perfect. Baez was a bad deal, but its only two years so you can deal with it. Romero got three years and that had disaster written all over it.
I'd offer Feliciano two years 5 million. Nothing more than that.
how bout none of those and get cliff lee that way 4 outta 5 days we wont need a bullpen ha but in all seriousness bastardo is young an i think the club needs to determine his position from the beginning of spring training instead of having him go back an forth between the minors and majors. it'll give him a sense of relief and comfort, plus spending more time around a lefty like hamels cant hurt
I concur with the sentiment that we should not overpay on years/dollars for an aging lefty, and that Bastardo is ready for the big time. Dude's got nasty stuff. This should be the year that he puts it together, assuming he can stay healthy. Seriously, Bastardo's got better stuff than any of these guys we're talking about signing.
I'd go after Fuentes. He'd be a nice replacement for Lidge in 2012 if need be. It all comes down to greenbacks though. Because of the Tigers 3/$16.5 deal I think relief pitching will take some time to shake out.
@ lefty
they can win it all?
you made my day 🙂
sometimes I forget we are still the best team in the NL even with all the problems.
Feliciano is a definate pass for me.
you can get a good lefty for almost nothing sometimes.
See Scott Eyre trade
Scott Downs would be a big upgrade over JC Romero, but I would hope that the Phillies would only be interested if the Jays don't offer him arbitration and they don't have to give up a #1 pick. With a #1 pick coming in for Werth as well as their own pick, this would be a goof time to replenish what they have traded form the farm.
Zagurski is NOT an option; he stinks
I wish, but I can't think of a reason why the Jays wouldn't offer him arbitration.
Well Fuentes makes the most sense to me depending on contract…i think Bastardo needs some more time at the MLB level yet
How about Bedard?
Brooks, Isn't Bedard a Starter? Do you think he'll convert to relief, or did you mean to replace Kendrick?
Well I'm glad to see I could lift your spirits Andrew!
You know "odds" better than anyone here. Pending a few off season moves, I'd bet we are in the top 3 to take back our WFC when the odds are posted this spring.
Lefty, Bedard has been an enigma – yes, a starter but he certainly has been hurt more than healthy. I think his value would be at an all time low and if he got here, put KK in the pen and insert Bedard as a #4 or #5 starter.
The front office has a good track record with waiver claims and last minute picks when it comes to relief. Romero and Eyre had both been released by their respective teams and Contreras was a last minute signing. I don't expect much change in tactics this year, so I don't think any of these guys will be Phils.
I look for someone no other team has any confidence in; perhaps someone like Contreras, who had no previous track record as a reliever; or someone like Romero who was released when Boston thought they had better bullpen options.
In any case, Bastardo is not the sole answer. He has the stuff, but lacks the ability to use it consistently. His numbers haven't been all that good.
Brooks- I've seen Bedard pitch, I'd be interested at the right price as a possible 5th starter. Not sure he's a reliever, but maybe. There have been many better pitchers that have made the change so why not I guess.
George- Knowing how the FO has done business in the past makes me think they need to change direction this year. Look at the Braves pen, Padres pen, Giants pen, even the Muts pen. Our way netted us Baez, Contreras, and Herndon last year.
They're okay, but don't strike fear in anyone. If anything, teams just want to get our starters out as early as possible to get TO our pen. IMO It's time to change the way they've done business in the past. I think we should spend a few dollars on a very important part of the team if we don't have ML ready young talent.
I like Fuentes because it simultaneously gives us insurance for the closer spot (Lidge is never a sure thing)… Otherwise, Feliciano seems like a good fit –can't believe I'm saying that, but it's true.
Downs is clearly the best one, but that Type A status is a no-no.
I think we HAVE to get a lefty. I really like Bastardo, but one lefty isn't enough. Also, you want someone reliable at the back end of the bullpen. Last thing we want is a guy like Madson blowing his arm off from overuse.

I have a teeny-tiny DD. Born 8.1, and dropped to 7.2; She is 17 weeks now and only at 9.8; she has been steady there for almost 2 months now. She has grown more then an inch and developmentally is right on track but not putting on weight. I worked w/ my local LLL Leader and started feeding her every 1.5 hours wether she was aking for it or not, but still no change. I bought a scale and I've weigh her before and after a feeding and she will eat 7-8 oz each time. I am not too concerned but I am sure when I go to the Dr this coming week he is going to freak out on me. She only poos about once a week and we change wet ones 5-6 times a day. They are not saturated but there is urine in it. Should they be? Her skin is good, she is happy and laughs and smiles and sleeps well. On the World Heath Org growth chart, she is on the chart, but has leveled off. She cut her 1st tooth at 3 1/2 months and has been teething for that 2nd one to come in for 3-4 weeks now.
Asside from her being so small, are there other things to look at w/ Failure to Thrive? I dont want to be doing her long term harm by trying to keep breastfeeding. My biggest concern is that she will be small her entire life, and that I may be interfering w/ brain development.
The family is also giving it to me to start on solids and formula, so forget about support at home.

Reviews of this property
We had a short stay in Jesper's apartment and enjoyed every minute. It had a nice atmosphere and a wonderfull green area on the other side of the road. We would like to get back for a longer stay. Greetings Julie, Pernille, Jette & Bent
Hi Jesper our stay in Denmark was perfect and your appartment is very nice and good situated, with the bus to Odense city is very easy. Thanxs for your hospitality and we recommend your appartment to other people. Bye
a well located, spacious apartment with everything you need for a pleasant vacation and cozy stay, the apartment is equipped with all necessary things you need. very spacious. ventilated and clean. Will defiantly come back. Very close to the center of city. very good connections with bus to go to the center. And it will only take you 10 min to walk to the center.
Super nice apartment with a bus stop directly outside. So you can quickly get to the train station in minutes. Flink landlord and a clean home. Next time we need to Odense we will rent this apartment again :-)
Super dejlig lejlighed med busstoppested lige direkte udenfor. Så man hurtigt kan komme ind til Banegården på få minutter. Flink udlejer og et rent hjem. Næste gang vi skal til Odense vil vi leje denne lejlighed igen :-)
Very nice apartment. Flexible landlord. Would rent it again if necessary.
Rigtig fin lejlighed. Fleksibel udlejer. Ville leje den igen ved behov.
We recently stayed here for a short holiday in Denmark. Quaint, comfortable, cozy, and homey are just a couple adjectives we found ourselves using during our stay to describe the flat. It is perfectly located - not too far from downtown and just far enough from all the noise. The street outside is busy but it didn't bother us even slightly. Mr Kolle's house was extremely friendly and very helpful. We were stuck in quite a bit of traffic coming from Germany. We hadn't a way to contact him to inform him of our circumstances. When we finally arrived, he was still waiting for us and even greeted us with a smile. Denmark, as a whole, is a very warm and inviting country. We found ourselves overwhelmed with the beauty and kindness. Denmark now holds a special place in our hearts, and we've travelled quite a bit around Europe for many years now. If you're looking for a place to stay in Odense, we recommend Mr Kolle's flat.
We've had a great time in Odense, is a very beautiful and almost to the end we had good weather. We have not had much contact with the host but all that has been helped us. The house is pretty good in terms of money, has everything you need and also this very central location. If we go back I would not hesitate to rent this property again. Greetings to Jesper and thanks for everything. Eva.
Lo hemos pasado muy bien en Odense , es una ciudad muy bonita y casi hasta el final nos ha hecho buen tiempo .
No hemos tenido mucho contacto con el anfitrion pero en todo lo que ha podido nos ha ayudado.
La casa esta bastante bien en cuanto a calidad precio , tiene todo lo necesario y ademas esta bastante centrica.
Si tenemos que volver no dudaria en alquilar de nuevo este alojamiento.
Un saludo a Jesper y gracias por todo.

Lin for the Win.
Let him walk
Resign him and keep him long term
Resign him and trade him January 2013 with Amare
THIS KID HAD THE GAME OF HIS CAREER.WHAT IT MEANS: The Knicks have been searching for a point guard to run Mike D'Antoni's offense all season. If Saturday night is any indication, it looks like they had one buried on the bench.
Jeremy Lin ran the Knicks offense with a cool efficiency and seemed to get to the basket at will against New Jersey, scoring 25 points and handing out seven assists in New York's win over their cross-river rivals.
The Knicks won for just the third time in the last 14 games and improved to 9-15.
THE GOOD: It was clear early on that Saturday night was Lin's night. Let's start from the top:
Lin entered the game with 3:35 to go in the first and the Knicks down six. After falling behind by as many as 12, the Knicks trailed by just two at the half, thanks largely to the 23-year-old guard. The former Harvard star finished the half with six points, three rebounds, four assists, one steal and one turnover in 15 minutes.
Lin continued to penetrate in the third, finding Tyson Chandler for an alley-oop midway through the quarter and converting a layup while getting fouled with three seconds to play. He hit the subsequent free throw to make it Nets 72, Knicks 70 heading into the fourth.
And he was just warming up. Lin had 12 points and two assists in the fourth. His biggest bucket might have come with 2:03 to play when he got by Deron Williams and down the lane for another layup. The basket gave the Knicks a 95-86 lead and caused the Garden to explode.
On the Knicks' next possession, Lin crossed up Williams again and converted a layup, giving him 25 points, a career-high. His previous high was 13. Lin, the NBA's second Asian-American player, also set career highs in assists and rebounds (five).
New York: J. Lin 25 Pts, 5 Reb, 7 Ast, 2 Stl

he will go up against better defenses, but can only get better with time with his decision making and mid/3 jumpshot. he can only get better at penetrating( no homo) and FINISHING!
Image hotlinked from a malware website // removed
This is how you fill out a roster that's star-heavy. Find a cheap backup PG (Lin), to go with a wiley vet with something in his tanke (Davis, then nash). Sprinkle in young players who have roles to fill (Fields, Shumpert, Joorts).
Add pieces, like a sniper in JR Smith. A 6th man scoring spark (settle for TD & Walker now).
Get beef to help bang down low (Jeffries, Jordan) suffice for this season.
Going into playoffs against MIA in round-1:
Davis (Lin)
Smith (Shumpert)
Melo (Fields)
Amare (Joorts)
Chandler (Jeffries)
TD & BW via for time basedoon hotness.
6"3 200lbs, strong...
A penetrating passing PG? When was the last time we had someone like that? Yep, Steph.
Lin is strong, special...has high IQ.
We have dumb guards...sorry but Shumpert and Douglas are dumbasses...Lin is making the orchestrating the offense look like rocket science to Iman and Toney.
i was killing lin the other day. i still think he has some weaknesses n teams may catch on to how to defend him. but damn, maybe dude can run this offense. maybe hes what we needed all along. god bless my knickerbockers. what a win! i was at the game tnite btw..
Lin sure did put all his doubters in place tonight.
Sometimes basketball isnt about who's stronger, faster or more athletic, but, about who's smarter and can process what they see quickly...
Well he is from Harvard lol.
But I really hope Lin can keep this up. We can't get to excited over just one game because both Shump and Douglass have had fantastic games but have absolutely no offensive consistency.
Lin is obviously intelligent, has good speed, and has a surprising aggresive demeanour. Now he's got to work on his ball handling, jump shooting, and passing.
Easily the most enjoyable game I've watched since STAT's 30+ point run of 9 games.
He'll have a lot of expectations laid on him now, currently under the microscope, will have some bad games and will become fatigued.
Regarding his offensive game, his penetration is quick and well timed. Good shooting technique. Good anticipation and peripheral vision as a passer.
Defensively he's aggressive and at 6'3, 200 pounds has a good blend of size and quickness.
The only way is up for Jeremy Lin. He'll have problems with his ascension as a player - inevitable growing pains - but if he can maintain the level of energy he brings to the floor, every single player will benefit from playing alongside him as Knickerbockers.
Amazing game, and a great story.
We're very lucky to have him.
I, and no doubt many others, will now go on and read this:
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
He keeps his dribble
Situational awareness
Knows where players are and how to get them the ball
Draws contact and still puts up a quality shot
Body control
Commanded a bit
and played D

Is this choking thing normal ? Will she grow out of it ?
She always chokes on drinking water from a sippy cup or regular cup. I tried to teach her to drnk from a straw but she just chews on it. I am trying to wean her and we arew down to 2 nursings once in the morning and one at night, both are not very filling I can tell. She is very thirsty. But since she chokes on the sippy cup, she is developing an aversion to it and is refusing water. She is starting to get dehydrated as I can tell by her hard stools.
I know the poor dear is thirsty but what do I do ? How much water does a 13 month old need ?

*I posted this on another forum but didn't get much response. I'm hoping that someone will have more advice for me here.*
I'm the mom to a little girl who was born at 33 weeks gestation. She was in the NICU for 5 weeks. She is now almost 8 weeks old and we are having a lot of problems with her breastfeeding. She is my second child and I nursed her older brother until he was 29 months old.
My daughter started off on breast milk in the NICU via gavage. After 10 days, they found that she was not gaining weight and that there was blood in her stool. They discovered that she had a milk-protein allergy, and was switched over to formula while I removed the dairy and soy from my diet. She did fine on my milk when they re-introduced it. She figured out how to take a bottle, and I was able to nurse her for one feed a day (this was due to the fact that we lived so far from the hospital that I could only be there once a day). She left the hospital on 7 feeds through bottle and 1 through breast a day. We switched her to all feeds on breast when she got home.
She has been home for 3 weeks and the issue we are having is with her choking. She chokes at every feed. They are really scary choking fits where I have to literally pound her on the back to get her breathing again. They last anywhere from about 10 to 60 seconds. It has gotten to the point where I am terrified to nurse her.
I know that I have oversupply and overactive letdown issues. I have tried block feeding, and expressing milk into a towel first. My supply has slowed down, not not enough.I have tried reclining and feed her mostly sitting upright. I have added a bottle a day to try a reduce my supply. Is that a bad way to go? Should I add more?
One thing I realized yesterday is that she also chokes on EBM through a bottle. She is good with formula, but I think that is because it is so thick (ready-made Alimentum). Should I add some formula to EBM to make it thicker?
I plan on talking to her ped next week about all this, but I'm wondering if anyone else had dealt with any of this.

Victoria and the boa
The woman was strange looking, almost cartoonish. She stood a few feet in front of me with an oversized shopping cart, her daughter in a matching purple sweat suit by her side. The line to the register had been overwhelming at the Astor Place K-mart electronics department. It stretched 20 people long, the end reaching into the men's underwear aisle.
In my hands was my single purchase, a 10-pack of DVD covers to package and send off my editing reel. The woman's shopping cart was full.
I learned much about the woman standing behind her and Victoria, her daughter. It was Victoria's birthday last week and she was cashing in on her mother's promise of a K-mart shopping trip. Her father had given her a boa constrictor. It was a small one, but the woman promised Victoria that "Lucy" would soon grow to be big and strong.
Victoria was 12 and excited to "practically be a teenager."
Their purchases totaled $389.56 and the woman paid with her credit card. The cashier asked the woman for her zip code, who turned and asked Victoria if she knew it.
Victoria scrunched her face and stretched her right arm up and over her head, deep in thought. After a few seconds, her face relaxed and she admitted she had no idea.
"Teenagers know their zip codes," the woman said and recited the number to the cashier.
The bags were passed across the counter, the credit card returned and as the woman bent over to place the bags into the cart she noticed something, stopped, and said calmly, "Oh Victoria, the mouse got out."
"Oh no!" shouted Victoria.
I leaped back, bumping into the couple standing behind me.
Together, we watched in disbelief as the woman shoved her hand into one of the plastic bags and frantically jerked around, knocking out some of her previous purchases. Suddenly she stopped, removed her hand slowly, fingers clenched together, a small white mouse dangling by its tail.
I took another step back, this time the couple moved with me. The security guard walked over to the woman cautiously and stood silently, not knowing what to do.
"Victoria, open up the box," the woman said as the mouse flailed around in the air inches from her face. The box was in a bag tied tightly, and Victoria frantically struggled to get it open. She resorted to sitting cross-legged, back pressed up against the counter, trying to pry it open with her teeth.
The mouse made one final attempt to free himself and caught the woman's finger in its teeth. The woman screamed and flung the mouse up in the air. It landed on the floor stunned and tried to scamper away. In an instant, the woman kicked at the mouse, her red high-heel connecting with its tiny body and sending it flying.
The mouse smashed into a shoe rack and fell limp to the ground.
Victoria scampered over and poked it with a tiny pink fingernail.
"I think it's dead," she said.
"We better get it home quick," the woman said, nursing her now bleeding finger. "Lucy won't eat it if it's cold."
She crossed to the mouse, picked it up, and flung it down into a shopping bag. She wrapped it tightly and placed it inside her purse. Victoria pushed the cart over to her and together they disappeared into the shoe department.
The spectators that had gathered in a small semi-circle mumbled to themselves and walked away.
I stepped up to the register and handed the cashier my package of DVD covers. She made eye contact with me as she rung up my purchase and said finally, "That was pretty weird."
"I didn't know they sold live mice at K-mart," I said.
"We don't. It must have been from somewhere else."
I nodded.
Late that night, I did some Internet research and found that boa constrictors grow to between five and 12 feet and live for 20 to 30 years.
I wondered what would happen when Lucy turned 12, not yet a teenager, and ventured out to find her own food. Not knowing her zipcode, she would become lost, unable to find her way home. The woman and Victoria would desperately try to find her, and stray dogs all over New York City would go missing.

It's an example of what can happen when the community reaches out to one of its own.
Rockin' for Rojo filled Trempealeau with music on Saturday.
It's a benefit to raise money for 4-year-old Roa Thayer's medical expenses.
He has a form of cerebral palsy that makes it difficult for him to communicate and move around.
The fundraiser was an idea a family friend came up with after re-connecting with Roa's mom.
He then organized the event with help from some Holmen High School seniors who took it on as a school project.
"I lost touch with her until a few months ago through Facebook, and noticed that she had a child with a disability and I just asked if there was anything I could do to help maybe organize a fundraiser and play and she said that would be wonderful and that's how it started," said the event organizer Karl Wallin.
"When we found out about the opportunity we were really excited to try and help out," said Holmen senior Max Holden.
Community businesses donated raffle prizes and local bands volunteered to play for the event.
The funds will be used to help pay for a wheelchair and handicap-accessible van for Roa.
Roa's mom Jennifer said it's been incredible to see how many people are showing their support.
"It was unbelievable to see people step forward, people we don't even know, and like I said just to be able to touch base and have people meet Roa and see what a great kid he is, that's really awesome," said Jennifer Thayer.
The cost of the wheelchair alone is about $8,000.
The Thayers said they're also working to make their house handicap accessible.
If you would like to support Roa, you can contact Jennifer through her blog at http://rojosjourney.blogspot.com/

Spring News
There it is: Jake Peavy's new tattoo! It's a tribute to his American Indian heritage; he has Creek and Cherokee blood. The tattoo is a phrase, "Hoka Hey", which means "live life to the fullest", as well as feathers. Very interesting…
Greg Maddux was in the Padres' camp for the first time as an instructor yesterday. It's so funny, beacause he really looks like he belongs there. It hardly seems like he went to the Dodgers at all! I am so glad he is back with the Padres. It was really sad last year when he wasn't able to get his 351st win for months and months. That was terrible! Then we finally shed him, and he went to a winning team. But he had a great time here in San Diego, and the guys definitely benefitted from him. It is so great that they can get that teaching again from the "professor".
Today is the Padres' first official team workout. So exciting! We signed outfielder Emil Brown a few days ago. That is very strange, but I think they know what they are doing. Edgar Gonzalez might not be playing in the World Baseball Classic. Scott Hairston will be playing in the WBC for the Mexico team. To look at him, you would not think he was Mexican! He's not, but his mom was, so…
Baseball is almost here! I can't wait…it's been way too long🙂
Don't forget to keep supporting Jack Box…Hang in there Jack

I'm surprised Maddux is back in baseball already. He could have gotten payed to be an instructor while he was still playing.
I like the new tat! Thanks for the pic! I will keep Jack in my thoughts.
Peavy definately summons a spirit when he takes the mound sometimes. The guys seems possessed putting up gooseeggs on the board!
I love Jake's new tatoo! And I'm really gald to see the professor. It will be very exciting for us to see what will our Padres do during spring training and regular season. I will support Jack as well🙂 By the way, if you have a facebook, I would love to be your friend!
That's really cool that Jake Peavy is of American Indian descent, nice to see him representing it as well. Also, it's great to have Maddux in your organization. That can never hurt.
I love tattoos. 🙂 Having Maddux around will be great for your pitchers. Now I'll DEFINITELY have to hit up some Padres games. Gotta see how good he is as an instructor!
Interesting tattoo. I have been designing a tattoo with some native american considerations although I have no indian blood but I respect so much of their culture(s) That's great Maddux is coaching too. What an asset to have.
How cool is it that you guys have Greg Maddux as a special instructor for Spring Training. You never know, but by May he might be missing baseball and working out again and come on as a set-up guy.
Seriously, just to have a guy of that caliber out there with the minor leaguer's on a different level than a player has to be a great sight to see this Spring.
Rays Renegade
MET's MAIN MAN, I don't know why he's back in baseball so soon, but I am very glad he is!
JULIA, thank you so much. I know Jack's family appreciates it.
BOB, that's cool!
HOMER, what a great description! And it's pretty true, too…
HYUN YOUNG, it will definitely be great to have Maddux here! Very exciting…
ELIZABETH, it's a really great thing that Maddux is with us!
JEN, definitely! He will be so great for our pitchers…
TOM, cool! Seriously, I don't think we really realize how great Maddog will be for the pitchers.
RAYS RENAGADE, well, the Padres had asked him to be a player/coach earlier in the offseason, but it's great to just have him as a coach.
EVERYONE, I have been fighting a cold all week after getting back from the mountains; I've had a fever since Wednesday night. I don't think I've ever fought a fever for this long, cause I'm usually a really fast healer. But I'm just feeling completely miserable today. I'm really sick of sleeping, too🙂 Hopefully I'll be better soon…
Hope you feel better, and I can't wait for baseball to start too.
MLB in the eyes of a 13 year old
Feel better. Colds suck.
That sure is a nice phrase Peavy has on his arm!
I think that in the future, Maddux could be a really good pitching coach. He could teach pitchers that they could win games with other pitches rather than just trying to dominate with power pitches.
Please read the questions and respond!
King Yankees
Cool tattoo! Thanks for stopping by Kaybee. We miss Maddux here, too.🙂
It was pretty neat to see my blog as the featured blog today … I even did a screen grab. haha
Have a good weekend!

Plants behaving badly; Love that 'ornamental' plant? Not so fast, please
NARROWSBURG, NY — Non-native plants sometimes behave badly; when they do, it's no laughing matter. Bad behavior by non-native plants can include insensitivity to the needs of surrounding native plants and animals (as evidenced by blooming earlier and later than its neighbors and by creeping vines that deprive competitors of sunlight), blind ambition (deep, widespread root systems and/or extensive stem and vine systems that crowd out and strangulate plant competitors), and blatant aggression toward all other living entities (bleeding water and nutrients from soil and emitting toxins that compromise or kill plants, animals and even humans). Whatever their modus operandi, the ultimate result is habitat dominance at the expense of other plant and animal species. These villains are known collectively as invasive plant species.
The federal government defines invasive species (both plant and animal varieties) as "a non-native species whose introduction does, or is likely to, cause economic or environmental harm or harm to human, animal or plant health." [Executive Order 13112, 1999] These species have the ability to displace or eradicate native species, to alter fire regimes, to damage infrastructure and to threaten human livelihoods. Whenever any invasive species is allowed to proliferate unchecked, the consequences are life threatening. Here's why: The invader reduces ecosystem biodiversity, which in turn, wreaks havoc with food chains and food webs. An illustration would be any invasive plant that chokes out the grasses and low bushes on which small herbivores (rabbits, groundhogs) feed. As small herbivores are displaced because their food sources have dried up, carnivores that feed on them (owls, eagles, foxes, bears and wolves) also are at risk because their food sources are not available. How immediate is this problem? Before salt cedar (an invasive tree known for extracting minerals and water from the soil) began its spread in the mid-20th century, 100 acres of land could support 150 species of wildlife. After salt cedar's unchecked spread, the same acreage could support four species only.

Here's How Tim Cook Can Fix Steve Jobs's Biggest Failure
If the reports are true -- and Apple has hit a road block with the music industry as it pursues some form of Internet radio -- you can't help but wonder how things might be different if Jobs, not Tim Cook, sat at the negotiating table. But, hey, it is an objective truth -- Steve Jobs is dead -- and I guess the consensus states: Tim Cook's Doing Fine, Apple Shareholders Know Nothing . So, let's only look back inasmuch as required to effectively look forward.
iTunes might be Steve Jobs' single most impressive success at the same time as being his biggest failure. If Cook really is pursuing "iRadio," I bet he's doing it to make iTunes something more than a serviceable platform from which to play your vast music collection. Because that's really what it is.
That quick summary leaves out a major detail. Steve Jobs took the music industry for a ride.
When I say the word "album" to my daughter, she hits me with this glazed-over look. Thank Jobs for that.
Because of him, you can buy the hit song for a buck, random songs al a carte and "complete your album" for what feels like a nominal fee. We purchase and consume music the way most people think we should experience cable television. And it's all because of the iTunes model.
Beyond that, Apple -- and much of this must fall on Jobs -- failed with iTunes. It's not social. When Jobs attempted to make it social, he introduced one of the few Apple inventions that fell pitifully flat -- Ping. iTunes has no features. No bells and whistles. It's only sticky because it works well with your iOS devices and even random PC stuff.
Steve Jobs knew. And Apple knows. Spotify is everything iTunes should be, but is not. That, for all intents and purposes, is the impetus for Apple's Internet radio ambitions, assuming they exist. To roll iRadio into the iTunes platform and make it sing or to offer it as a standalone service so we'll forget about how ho-hum iTunes really is.
It can't be about revenue. For goodness sake, Pandora (P) turned in an incredible performance , yet its mobile revenue for the year comes in lower than what a top-performing Apple Store bills over 365 days . Revenue from Internet radio amounts to a pimple on Apple's behind.
Cook needs to give it up. He's on a pointless crusade here. And he's not going to win in a room of music executives already screwed -- with nary a kiss -- by Steve Jobs. Never going to happen.

They were like family. Young men who went to war, they fought together, they spilled blood together, and some died together. When World War II ended most came home.
Pfc. Lawrence S. Gordon, a 28-year-old Canadian enlistee, did not.
Gordon, a member of the U.S. Army's 32nd Armored Regiment was killed when the armored car he was riding in exploded during fighting in Normandy, France. The explosion also killed Pvt. James Bowman.
During the chaos of war Bowman was identified from fingerprints. Gordon was never identified and became classified as missing in action. He was one of more than 78,000 American servicemen and women listed as missing in action.
Gordon served in combat with Staff Sgt. David Henry of Viroqua.
Wounded during the Normandy campaign, Henry eventually came home to Wisconsin. Like many veterans, he rarely spoke of his experiences at war. The one thing that was clear though was the closeness he felt for the men he fought with.
"The Army buddies meant a great deal. I think some of his best friends in the service were his best friends after the war," Jed Henry, the grandson of David Henry, said. "They were closer than family and so Pfc. Gordon being missing to me was almost like a family member being missing."
That is why, after his grandfather died Jed Henry started searching through records trying to find Gordon. He learned that Gordon was born in Saskatchewan, Canada, and was working in Wyoming when Pearl Harbor was attacked. Gordon enlisted in the U.S. Army.
Henry was able to confirm that Gordon had indeed been killed in the explosion through statements made by someone in the vehicle who had survived. Henry was also able to learn the date when Gordon and Bowman died and the location where it happened. Records also told Henry where Bowman had been buried, but there was no record of what had become of Gordon.
"To find someone who has been missing for 70 years isn't easy," Henry said.
The military listed unidentified remains with an X designation. Henry started pouring through those X files trying to determine which one could possibly be Gordon. By using the date of death, Aug. 13, 1944, and the location he was able to narrow the search.
He also knew that Bowman had been buried in a cemetery in Gorron, France. Henry assumed that because Bowman and Gordon had died together their bodies would likely have been taken to the same cemetery.
By matching the date and location Henry focused in on the remains identified as "X-3." But there was one very big problem.
"The problem is X-3 was determined to be German later and is now buried in a German cemetery in France," Henry said.
To move his search forward Henry would need to convince the German and French governments that X-3 was Gordon and not a German soldier. Henry made trips to Washington to speak directly with individuals at the German and French embassies. He even had his research translated into German and French for the embassy staff. Henry also knew that to finally prove Gordon was X-3 would require DNA testing.
When he walked into the University of Wisconsin's Biotechnology Center the search for Gordon took a very positive turn. The first person he met was Josh Hyman, director of the DNA Sequencing Facility.
"I walked out and there's Jed and he said, 'You know, I want to talk to somebody about DNA,' and I said, 'You've come to the right place and you're talking to the right person,'" Hyman said.
Henry explained the story of Gordon and the story struck close to home for Hyman, whose uncle was shot down over Germany during World War II and for a time, was missing in action behind enemy lines.
It made Hyman's decision to help find Gordon an easy one to make.
"It starts out as, it is the right thing to do and it ends up being, it is the only thing you can possibly do," Hyman said.
On Sept. 13, Henry and Hyman traveled to France and were present as French officials opened the burial vault containing the remains of X-3. Samples were taken to conduct DNA tests and dental records of Gordon were compared with the remains. Hyman believes the dental records to be a match.
"I think this is Pfc. Gordon," Hyman said.
The DNA samples are currently being compared with those of Gordon's relatives. The French government is conducting the first round of tests. The DNA lab at the University of Wisconsin will receive the samples once the French government completes their tests.
The UW has state-of-the-art testing equipment and Hyman is confident the lab will be able to finally complete the search for Gordon.

Local man still critical after crashApril 12,2014Local man is still
critical after crash
A West Rutland man remained in critical condition Friday night after his truck collided with the rear of an empty school bus on Route 3 in Rutland Town the day before.
A spokeswoman at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center in Lebanon, N,.H., said Nathan Whitehorne, 41, remained hospitalized.
Whitehorne was one of two people injured Thursday morning in the crash.
Whitehorne was trapped in the truck for about an hour while firefighters from Rutland Town worked to free him from the wreckage of his 2013 Toyota Tacoma.
No children were on the damaged school bus, but police said driver Kimberly Baird, 52, was taken to RRMC for minor injuries. She was treated and later released.
Whitehornes truck was also carrying three dogs; two in carriers in the back of the truck and one in the cab. Two of the dogs were injured and taken to a veterinarian clinic where state police Trooper Erin Hodges said Friday they were recovering.
One dog escaped and ran around the accident scene while troopers tried to call it closer to attach a leash. The dog, a Belgian Malinois, eventually calmed enough for police to capture it, Hodges said.
Police said the crash remains under investigation and asked any witnesses to call 773-9101.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER A new report from a commission that studied the cost, availability and quality of... Full StoryVermont fish hatchery changes focus, looks inland

I get the exact value of "region" but I do not get anything for "rests.name".

I've try with

Rumor Patrol: Ryan Gosling In 'Star Wars,' Kimye's Gold Toilets, More
You can't go one week without hearing a ridiculous story involving some of your favorite celebrities. Thankfully, the Starpulse Rumor Patrol is here to sort out what's real and what's fake.
Ryan Gosling and Zac Efron Cast in Star Wars Sequel: Disney has hired their leading men for the upcoming Star Wars sequel, nabbing both Ryan Gosling and Zac Efron. Sounds too good to be true!
Verdict: These aren't the actors you are looking for. Seems pretty early to be casting parts, since an alleged script of the film was hinted at by Bad Robot only a week ago. Reps for both actors told Gossip Cop there's no truth to the story.

Rock Hill bar manager and waitress arrested
October 31, 2011 —
Responding to complaints from residents of the Emerald Green and Lake Louise Marie sub divisions in Rock Hill, sheriff's deputies and state troopers raided the Las Vegas Sports Bar and Gill located at 227 Lake Louise Marie Rd. early the morning of October 29. The establishment, which was formerly known as the Dodge Inn under a previous owner, was found to be serving alcohol without a valid New York State Liquor license. The Las Vegas Bar has been the scene of several disturbances and assaults recently, with some patrons observed to be wearing gang colors.
"The Las Vegas Bar has been operating on a series of temporary permits while their permanent liquor license application is pending", said Sheriff Mike Schiff.
"The most recent temporary permit expired on October 22, 2011 and was apparently not renewed by the liquor authority as a result of a referral made by the state police", said the Sheriff. Police agencies can report businesses licensed by the state liquor authority if they are disorderly or violate the law.
Such violations could result in the suspension or revocation of a business' license. In the case of the Las Vegas Bar, it could result in the permanent license application being denied. Deputies arrested the manager, Michael Carcamo, 25, and the bartender Blanca Fuentes, 53, both of Liberty, and charged them with the unlawful sale of alcohol.
Ruben Hernandez, 32, of Newburgh was also arrested for disorderly conduct after he got into a dispute with a bouncer at the front door. All three were released on their own recognizance pending an October 29, 2011 court appearance before Town of Thompson Judge Martin Miller.
