According to information from the Department of Public Safety (DPS), the accident involving two vehicles happened at 6:55 a.m. on Farm-to-Market Road 792.
Robert Garza, 34, of Robstown was driving a 2012 Nissan Frontier northbound on the highway when due to a lack of sleep or possible intoxication, apparently fell asleep and struck a guardrail adjacent to the northbound lane. The pickup then crossed the highway striking another guardrail and then collided head on with a Ford F-350 that was traveling south in the southbound lane.
Garza is in stable condition at Otto Kaiser Memorial Hospital.
Juan Julian Beltran, 53, of Bishop, one of four occupants of the Ford F-350, died at the scene of the accident as a result of injuries sustained in the collision. He was pronounced dead at the scene of the accident by Karnes County Justice of the Peace David Sotelo.
Two other occupants of the Ford F-350 were seriously injured in the crash.
Benjamin Rodriguez, of Corpus Christi, is in serious condition at San Antonio Military Medical Center.
Daniel Rodriguez, of Corpus Christi, remains in serious condition at University Hospital in San Antonio.

State policies detrimental to business
Unemployment compensation benefits are supposed to be for people who involuntarily lose their jobs, even if only temporarily. Not here in West Virginia. Here, if you walk away from your workplace during a strike, you may be able to collect benefits.
It happened most recently to union workers at the Constellium aluminum rolling plant in Ravenswood. There, union workers went on strike Aug. 5 in a dispute over a new contract. It was not settled until Sept. 19.
Then, a new contract giving union workers at the plant annual pay raises of 2.5 percent, health insurance with no premiums paid by employees until 2017, and $7,500 signing bonuses was approved.
That wasn't enough for the United Steelworkers union local at the plant, however. Union officials sought unemployment compensation for more than 600 workers for the time they were off on strike.
Approved, ruled the state Labor Dispute Tribunal this week. Each of the workers may be able to collect $2,544 in benefits.
A state spokesman would say only that the benefits were approved "because there was not a work stoppage" at the plant because of the dispute. No more information about how the decision was reached will be released to the public.
Companies pay premiums to provide unemployment compensation insurance for their workers. The amounts are based on claims, so Constellium may have to pay an additional $1.5 million because of the state panel's ruling.
This is far from the first time striking workers have been awarded unemployment compensation benefits. Some union members consider them an entitlement, even if they are absent from work and not drawing paychecks by their own choice.
No wonder many companies are leery of opening new plants or other facilities in West Virginia, because of our state's labor relations climate. Unless and until state policies such as those governing unemployment compensation are changed, the Mountain State will continue to be passed over for many economic development opportunities.

I finally made it to Manhattan thanks to my friends at Fashiolista at around 9:00pm and after a very long flight.
I was expecting it to me cold, but never imagined I was about to walk into a giant freezer, which reminds me, I am completely unprepared for this weather when it comes to the outfits I chose for NY fashion Week, I just hope I don't turn to ice in the next few days.
I woke up early this morning (thanks jet-lag!), sorted out a few commitments, but now I have to go off and get ready for the Luca Luca show later today.
I hope you enjoy the pics of my trip and MUCH MORE to follow!!!

Nothing is more adorable than a kitten playing with string, but when Schrödinger's cat becomes entangled, things get really weird.
Two research teams have independently added an extra layer of quantum oddity – the property of entanglement – to a test of wave-particle duality, a real-life demonstration of the ideas captured by physicist Erwin Schrödinger's famous thought experiment involving a box and a precarious puss.
This extra layer of entanglement lets the researchers delay measuring the results of the test for an indefinite amount of time, even though the measurement itself is supposed to have determined earlier on whether a photon is behaving as a particle or a wave at a particular point in the experiment. It's the equivalent of putting off the decision to check whether Schrödinger's cat is alive, dead or something in between, for as long as you like.
Understanding this doubly quantum effect could be useful when building quantum computers and communication networks, which depend on entanglement to function.

Elizabeth A. TurnerMarch 19,2013
Elizabeth A. Turner
WORCESTER Elizabeth Anne Turner, B.A., MLS, M.D., J.D., was an amazing woman. She worked hard at all she achieved. She believed that helping people was the most important task in her life. Her life ended on March 16, 2013, after slipping down the nasty slope of dementia.
Elizabeth Anne Libby Turner was born on July 13, 1936, to Howard and Elizabeth Cordelia (Cairnes) Turner. She grew up with her older brother, by five years, Howard Jr., and a younger sister, by four years, Nancy. They lived and worked on a dairy farm in Black Horse, Harford County, Md.
Libby was active in her school, her church and 4-H growing up. She played baseball on the third-grade boys team, because they needed her, she was the best hitter. In her teens, she, her sister and cousins, Jane and Juliette Anne, had a singing group that performed at social functions in the area. Libby had a beautiful alto voice.
Beginning in first grade, she would finish her work and then help the slower children with theirs.
She graduated from North Harford High School in 1954. She graduated from Maryville College in Tennessee in 1958 with a Bachelor of Arts in English. She loved words and was tortured by math. She earned a Master of Library Science from Drexel University in Philadelphia the following year. She worked in the Agricultural Library in Peoria, Ill. The director of the program told her from the beginning that women were not smart enough to become doctors, and she was certainly an example of that gender. After four years, she returned to Baltimore and worked in the university library while taking classes to prepare for applying to medical school.
At the library, she looked up from her work to see the most beautiful woman walk across the aisle. Libby found out she also worked in the library and met her. They developed a friendship. One afternoon, Libby took a huge risk for that time in society and told this woman that she was a lesbian. The woman said, not me. That night, Janet called Libby and said, we need to talk. That began their relationship that lasted 34 years and only ended in Janets too early death from cancer. They loved each other with all their hearts. Libby was devastated by Janets death.
Libby earned a place in the University of Marylands medical school. She entered as one of six women in the class and graduated as one of two women in 1968. She completed her internship and residency at York Hospital in York, Pa. Libby was the first woman to be accepted for an internship and the only woman in her internship class. This event made the paper at the time.
Janet and Libby had a private practice in Black Horse for three years before moving to Vermont.
Dr. Turner worked at Central Vermont Hospital in the Emergency Room. She eventually became the director of the E.R. She was dedicated and believed that everyone who worked for her should be as invested in being a doctor as she was. Janet and Libby worked holidays so the doctors with families could be home with their children. Both Janet and Libby gave expert testimony in trials involving medical issues over the years. Libby passed her boards in both family practice and emergency medicine.
At the age of 50, Libby enrolled at Vermont Law School as a full-time student. She worked at the Vermont State Hospital during these years at night. She loved the residents and enjoyed doing rounds. Libby graduated in 1989 with a Juris Doctorate.
She completed her clerkship in the Medicaid Fraud Protection Unit of the attorney generals office. She then worked for the Vermont League of Cities and Towns. She wrote booklets to help town clerks and officers understand points of their jobs. She worked to answer questions accurately and clearly.
Libby volunteered for a number of organizations over the years; often, she began work as a board member and ended up being the chair. She worked for the Shelter House Project as a board member, chair and on the battered womens hot line.
Libby was on the Select Board for the town of Worcester and was chair of the board. She also was town moderator for a year.
Libby was on the Medical Practice Board for the state of Vermont and was the chair of the board.
Libby was Green Up coordinator for Worcester for several years, as well.
Libby volunteered for Central Vermont Home Health and Hospice as a hospice volunteer for several years.
Libby was the medical expert for mock trials at Vermont Law School.
The people of the town of Worcester were very lucky to have Janet and Libby living in their town. They freely gave of their time and expertise to medically needy neighbors. One neighbor was smashed between two cars and had no insurance. They doctored him to health. Another needed a shot every week. Another needed to be looked in on so she could stay out of the nursing home. And so it goes on.
Janet and Libby owned rental properties in Barre. They took care of their tenants, as well as collecting the rent. Better landladies could not be found.
Libby recognized that her cognitive faculties were declining. She tried to make accommodations so she could continue to be independent. She was devastated when her car keys were taken away. She thought she could no longer help people. She was angry and there was not a thing she could do to reverse her decline. No matter how hard she worked, she could not achieve the goal of independence again.
People helped Libby stay in her home. The wonderful Sandy Mann took Libby shopping for food when she was still able and willing to be in public. She lived with Libbys anger as the disease progressed at not being able to remember what she wanted to buy, how to use money, how to sign her name.
The personal care assistants from Central Vermont Home Health and Hospice were wonderful. They read, cooked, sang, talked and cared for Libby so she knew she was important. She was not always easy to care for as she fought the losing battle to maintain her independence. Mark, Keri, Ashley, Crystal, Erica (2), June, Mary Francis, Dawn and many others were vital to the task of allowing Libby to stay in her home.
Bonnie Pollard and Kathy Menninger were longtime friends who stepped up to work with Libby as she declined, to allow her to live at home.
Libby is survived by her brother, Howard, of Arizona, and his children, Mary, Roseanna and James, and her sister, Nancy, of Maryland, her husband, Nelson Berigtold, and their children, Amy and Margaret. She is also survived by her family in the United Kingdom, Robert and Brenda Anthony and their adult children, David, James, Richard, Rachel and their families. She was predeceased by a nephew, Andrew Turner.
She is also survived by people she considered family over the years, Selman Wright; John and Sarah Loder and their children, Janet Elizabeth, Katie and Joseph; Holly Perdue and Cheri Goldstein, who coordinated her care and were her choice to make those decisions.
Libby was a woman of substance and courage. She was a role model and a pioneer for women who came after her. We all stand on her shoulders today. She will be missed terribly, but we rejoice that she is no longer living in pain and confusion. Her spirit is now with the spirit of Janet. May they soar together forever. Libby and Janets ashes will be commingled and buried at a later time alongside their beloved cats. A memorial service will be held at the Unitarian Church in Barre at 2 p.m. on Friday, March 22, with a reception to follow.
Donations may be made to the Janet Anthony Fund that is used to provide medical care to animals that might otherwise not get the help they need, ORAH 36, Three Mile Bridge Road, Middlesex, VT 05602. Libby also would be honored if we each gave a book to a child or donated to your local childrens library.

I'm so impressed with how custom these seat covers look. They look like the original seat, only better. They have improved the look of my car's interior and were fairly easy to install. I just wish they made some for my back seat as well, but it's okay because the gray/black that I ordered, perfectly matches the grey tone already in my car. This is a quality product that I would recommend to anyone! Mack R - Palm Springs, CA

MILFORD, PA — Belle Reve resident Sarah Dunn is living life to the fullest. She turned 103 years old on April 2, and the Belle Reve community and staff members were there to help celebrate.
Dunn's parents were born in Italy and she is a first-generation American. They were very family-oriented and religious. She was one of eight children, and only has one brother still living, who resides in Texas. She was married and she and her husband enjoyed traveling around the world. They lived in New York City and she worked as an executive secretary for an electric appliance company in Manhattan, but had to hide that she was married because married women at that time were not supposed to work. Dunn was an avid golfer during her retirement and she was the first woman in New Jersey to hit a hole in one.
She has been a resident at Belle Reve since 2008.For more information, call 570/409-9191, or visit www.bellerevesl.com [2].

MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- Six Democratic candidates running in recall elections targeting incumbent Republican state senators have collectively raised nearly $1.6 million for those races.
The fundraising totals were reported Tuesday to the state.
All six Democrats face fake Democratic candidates in a July 12 primary. Those candidates are not actively campaigning and are raising very little money.
In the District 10 race, incumbent Sen. Sheila Harsdorf of River Falls reported raising nearly $328,000 through the end of June. Her Democratic challenger, Ellsworth public school teacher Shelly Moore, raised $237,000. Fake Democratic candidate Isaac Weix raised just $1,200.
Reports from the other candidates were not yet posted on the Government Accountability Board website late Tuesday afternoon. Totals for the Democrats were released by the Democratic Party.

Hard drive crash = no talking trash
Hey all, just wanted to let you know that my computer crashed (hard drive failed).
So I'm working on either trying to reload windows (easier fix), or getting a new hard drive.
So please be patient as I work franticly to restore my operating system.
I might finish tonight, I might finish in a few days. I'll use the wife's computer to check in.
Back atcha when I can get it up? :) …D

D — a great way to get over your "computer stress" – when my husband's graphics card died on his 'puter, he & our oldest son took the card, a bow & arrows and an air rifle, went out in the back yard and shot it to pieces. My husband felt much better. Good luck!
Gross… I'm sorry. Last time my computer failed it was just overheated, so a can of compressed air did the trick, but if it's your drive you might be, uh, screwed.
Good luck!

Hey D,
Argh! That stinks on ice! Hope you can get back up and blogging soon.
I like what Julia and her family did to their graphics card. I'm always threatening to take uncooperative instruments at work out to the parking lot to have a "chat" with my car.
Hey D,
Good luck getting your computer up and running. We can always take it out to a field and introduce it to a few baseball bats like they did in "Office Space".
-Mark (Paul's Dad)
Dude…I feel your pain.
Good luck.
Shooting things does relieve stress…believe me:)
I also like the bats idea…baseball related haha.
Picturing the "Office Space" bats scene made me laugh and forget my calling card.
JULIA, KYLIE, R-LUV, HAPPY, BP, MARK, You all crack me up. It took me twice but I got an operating system loaded back on my computer. I have two other POS computers (not working), I'm willing to drive over them, then take the bats to 'em. Or how about dropping them from a very high place? Here's my pickle, I could probably scrape up for a new computer, but then I wouldn't be making the MBU trip in Feb. So as you can tell, I'll just keep doing my best to keep this computer working. I'm not missing my trip for nothing…Thanks all, I'll have something up later…D

Hi ladies,
I'm new here. I have a 3 month old daughter and a 17 month old son who both are nursing. Sunday morning I woke up from my sleep with my right breast hard and throbbing. I had slept on my stomach and thought maybe it was just a plugged duct. Since it was the weekend, I couldn't get in touch with my doctor. I spent the day resting and continually nursing and pumping to keep my breast drained.
My mother is an RN and told me I probably had mastitis. She had some Omnicef antibiotics (similiar to the antibiotics used to treat mastitis), so after checking with the pharmacist at the local drugstore I took one. The next morning when I went to change my breast pads I noticed that the right one smelled of yeast really strong.
I was able to get in touch with my doctor yesterday and they diagnosed me with mastitis over the phone and called in an antibiotic (different from what I took on my own).
So my question is what was that yeast smell? I mentioned it to the nurse at my doctor's office and she really didn't give me an answer. I know that taking antibiotics increases the chances of getting thrush. Should I start taking acidophilous (or will that counteract the effectiveness of the antibiotic?)?
Sorry this is so long! Thank you for reading this if you got this far!

A large community – Youth hostels in Germany
The youth hostel –an idea "Made in Germany". The most extensive network of youth hostels in the world: the German Youth Hostel Association (DJH) comprises around 500 attractive properties, many of which are found in absolute dream locations. Hostels can be found in palaces, castles and in buildings protected as national monuments, even in mills, towers or on a ship. Our hostels occupy well-exposed locations in large cities, on major rivers, on the coast and in the mountains. Each youth hostel offers something special: the high ropes course, a canoe tour, survival training or even a relaxing massage. But most importantly, youth hostel guests will experience a real sense of community. Our hostels are open to everyone. They are meeting hubs for people young and old from all over the world - for travelling individuals, families, groups, school classes, kindergarten groups, sports clubs or groups of all kind. The members of the DJH are part of an international network and experience the unique community atmosphere in 4,000 youth hostels spread across 90 countries around the world. The principle of openness and tolerance applies; the love of one's fellow man and respect are a given. Different temperaments and cultures encounter each other here on a daily basis, share experiences and have fun together. And all that at unbeatable prices. Youth hostels in Germany have a high standard of good, modern accommodation, friendly facilities, and competent service. They are also safe and clean with wash-rooms and toilets that offer the greatest possible privacy. The bedrooms and dormitories are gender-specific. Almost all youth hostels also have comfortable single rooms as well as double rooms and family rooms. Breakfast and bed linen are always included in the price.
This is where people come together
Whether you're looking for adventure or a family holiday, going on a school trip or visiting the big city, whether you enjoy nature rambles or a relaxing spa- discover the colourful world of youth hostels. Find friends from all over the world who share your interests and are open-minded, easy-going, and eager to experience life. Our special-profile youth hostel offers are separated by travel interests into the categories Environment & Nature, Culture & Society and Health & Sports.
Youth hostels – The perfect place for groups
Are you planning a conference or a seminar? Are you still looking for the most suitable travel destination for your sports or music group? Youth hostels are ideal for inspiring group meetings. Here we have the best conditions to allow you to concentrate on what matters, get off the beaten path and to develop new things. This uncomplicated community releases your creativity and lets you genuinely enjoy what you are doing. We take performance pressure out of the equation - the only thing on the agenda is a zest for life. This also applies to sports: many youth hostels offer an extensive range of sports activities that have been developed in conjunction with communities and sports associations. Training can be enjoyed in a relaxed atmosphere. Choirs and music groups that want to be creative enjoy using youth hostels for their rehearsal weekends. For more information visit "Groups" at www.jugendherberge.de/en
Excellent quality
All of the youth hostels offer their guests the highest quality. The majority of hostels work on the basis of implemented quality management systems; many also have a certified profile.
Mobile with a disability
Germany's youth hostels are an experience for everyone - without exception. Anyone with mobility limitations will find attractive holiday opportunities with us. All newer youth hostels are generally wheel-chair accessible. For older hostels: it is best to make enquiries in advance about the facilities and equipment in the youth hostel of your choice. For group stays, we recommend that you come and view the hostel in advance. With an advanced search at www.jugendherberge.de/en/youth-hostels (see Interior and Wheelchair) you can find offers "suitable for people who are wheel-chair bound".
A strong community
In order to be able to take advantage of the complete range of services of the youth hostels in Germany, we recommend becoming a member of a youth hostel association in your own country. It's worth it: members enjoy many advantages and benefits when travelling worldwide. As a foreign guest you can also spend the night with us for a minimal fee even without an international membership card. You will receive a "welcome stamp" for each overnight stay and when you have collected six "welcome stamps", you will automatically receive a membership card and can become part of our strong community.
Queries, booking and reservations
A reservation guarantees you accommodation in the youth hostel. And here's how it works:

Fax +49 5231 7401-449
Something you can rely on!
For 100 years now, Youth Hostels have represented values that enrich life. For all those who go through life openminded. Who want to experience togetherness, and are eager to get to know the world and other people. Brave – or even adventurous at times. Because confident young people don't need a corset, they have a backbone of their own. The only time they will twist and bend is for sports, or with laughter. Which is something worth envying. Something precious.

I knew she was coming into my office before she even knocked. Maybe a part of my brain heard the soft footsteps, or maybe it was the smell, or the way some guys can always tell when a woman's nearby. Or maybe I've just got a sixth sense for bad news, thanks to all my experience. Regardless, even though I was prepared for an entrance, I certainly wasn't prepared for her entrance. She wore a short blue dress that was tight in all the right places, and she wore it well. The dress wasn't too shy to let out a pretty nice view of a long set of legs, but still concealed just enough to let a man's imagination go for a spin. She had blond hair, the kind that's so bright it gives off a little bit of excess light to the surrounding areas. Seeing that shine around her head, you might mistake it for a halo. If you didn't catch her eyes, that is. The eyes tell you there's more to this broad than your first glance will cobble together. That's her giveaway. You can pretty your hair up and put on some fine lipstick and sneak into your best Sunday dress, but if your eyes say "Trouble," there's not a powder, dye or skirt in the world that'll cover it up. She batted her eyes on instinct, and I was reminded of every stupid decision I'd ever made. "Excuse me," she said, her voice somewhere between a sigh and a whisper. "Are you really a detective? A Facebook detective?" "That's what it says on my door," I said, lighting a cigarette.
Daniel O'Brien is a double black belt Facebook Detective.
"My name is Regan Woodsturn. I need help," she said. Admitting, it's the first step. "Admitting, it's the first step," I said, because it seemed foolish to waste a line like that on inner monologue. "It's a case I need you to handle. Actually, I've got three cases I'd like you to take a look at, if you don't mind." Between her legs that seemed to travel for days and a set of eyes I'd break a rule or two for, so far there's nothing this broad's shown me that I'd found disagreeable, so I decided to hear her out. She unloaded a story about three people that were making the forecast a little bit cloudy over on Planet Woodsturn. Three unrelated issues, all happening to her, simultaneously, all bad enough that she needed a private dick to ride in, ask some questions, get some answers. I'd say she must have had it pretty rough, if I wasn't positive that those eyes could bat their way out of any corner she backed herself into. She wanted me to hit the streets of Facebook and gather some information on these associates of hers that were making her antsy. Facebook, like me, works alone and plays pretty loose with the rules when it comes to privacy. A few people might have a problem with that, and maybe they're right. Or maybe they're hiding something. Anyway, it's my beat. Facebook. But something about these cases stunk. "Please help me, detective. I would be ever so grateful." "Oh I'm sure it would just warm your heart, but, if you don't mind, I'll pass. There are plenty of dicks in this town. But I'm sure I don't need to tell you that. " That one actually probably should've been just an inner monologue thing. "I'm afraid I don't understand," she said. "Listen lady," I said as I stood up from my desk. "I like the way you smell, it's sort of like cinnamon mixed with a memory. And I like your hair, and I've found that the only thing hard about your eyes is taking mine off them. I've very much enjoyed your long, sweet Popsicle sticks and sincerely appreciate their visit. They're welcome here any time." I crossed the room so I was standing right in front of her. Too close for two strangers, but a muscle other than my brain was calling the shots and I wasn't in a position to argue. "But if you think for a second that a pretty face and a couple of easy teasing 'atta boy's' is enough to get me to take a case that's more slippery than yesterday's fish and twice as rotten, then you've got another thing coming, sweetness." I reached behind her and grabbed the door, pulling it open. "So thanks, Mrs. Woodsturn, but no thanks, all the same." As I held the door open, taking in a few last-minute inhales of her perfume and idly wondering if "Popsicle sticks" was actually an established slang term for "legs," she pulled out a checkbook that she kept in a small clutch on her left wrist. "Ten thousand dollars, plus expenses," she said. "Is it starting to smell a little better now, detective?" A stronger-willed man would've tossed her out, told her that there isn't enough money in the free world worth taking three cases that smelled like a setup from a mile out. But I bet a stronger-willed man wouldn't need ten grand quite as much as I did. Without a word, I let her slip the check into my breast pocket. It felt hot. "Atta boy," she said. Those damn eyes. Case 1: The No Good Nephew Woodsturn's younger sister was a wild one. She'd only been married once, though not for lack of trying, so the story goes. She lied, she stole, she fought; anything for an adrenaline fix. She'd bounced around from man to man and drug to drug for the better part of her life until one bounce landed her in her room with solid bars and a low ceiling. As a result, Woodsturn had been caring for her locked up sister's son, Eddie, for the last few years. Eddie's been getting home late… lately, and Woodsturn was worried he was starting to go the way of his momma. Stealing, vandalism. The signs were all there, but Woodsturn wanted to know for sure, so she turned to me. And Facebook. A preliminary look at his Facebook wall didn't seem to turn up anything concrete. "Doing Drugs" wasn't listed as one of his interests and there were no pictures of him actually stealing anything, but I had a few tricks up my sleeve. I befriended Eddie, simply enough, and then used all of my cunning and created a Facebook group that, if Woodsturn's suspicions were true, might catch his eye.
The sting operation was set up. All that was left to do was monitor Eddie's page and play the Waiting Game.
Bingo. Verdict: It would be ideal if I could come back to Woodsturn with something slightly more specific, but a result is a result. This kid is guilty. Of crimes. Case 2: The Cheating Husband Good Old Mr. Woodsturn was coming home late, and some nights, not coming home at all. He had the calling card alibi of all cheaters ("It was a late night at the office"), and I felt like I could smell gin on him just by looking at his profile picture.
I noticed that he commented on women's pictures a lot. Idle flirts, sure, but never anything too incriminating. Never anything incriminating enough, anyway. Nothing that would let me put a bow on this case. He also seemed to have a nasty habit of friending any woman with an Internet connection, a habit he was taking no steps to break. He was smart enough to conveniently leave out his relationship status, but not smart enough to not use the standby "I'm at the office" excuse despite clearly being a freelance construction worker. Left to my own devices, I'd have called this one on hunches alone, but I had a client to answer to. I created a fake account as a dizzy, cute-looking broad and started poking around.
The Woodman poked back almost immediately, like there was a future in it. We exchanged a few more sexual-tension-laden pokes before Woodman decided to take it to the next level.
We agreed to meet at a motel off the 405 Freeway, the kind of place with a lot of motel clerks who know how to keep a secret. The Woodman approached me, a hard hat still on his head and a tool belt around his waist, or whatever you'd call the area hidden directly below his protruding gut sack. I humorlessly identified myself as Girlface and lit a cigarette. He squinted his eyes and rubbed his goatee before speaking to me. "Huh. You're a lot more… of a dude, then I'd assumed based on your picture. But we're both here, right? Hell, I'm game if you are. It'll take my mind off how totally not married I am." He grinned and carefully blinked both of his eyes, the way an uncoordinated child tries to mimic winking. "Do you want to rent a room or just… just right here in the motel lobby? Not married." Verdict: Two for two, so far. You wouldn't think a man like Raymond Woodsturn would cheat on a woman like Regan, but you need to remember that men are caveman warriors. They're instinct-driven, and being tied down goes against nature. Some men see a wedding band like a line of thin tripwire, trapping him in one spot, holding them back from their biological imperative to roam, unfettered, spreading seed. All he needs to do is hop over that little wire once in a while and he's got his sweet, sweet freedom. Also, he's fucking retarded. When I told Regan, she took it like a trooper. A single tear rolled down her cheek. Several times, and from both eyes. Case 3: Old Man Illegal-Immigrant-Smuggler Regan had reason to believe that her father-in-law was smuggling illegal immigrants into the country, a suspicion that I (in retrospect, foolishly), never questioned. Things like "Why would he do that?" or "Based on what evidence?" or "What use would a retired shoe salesman have for immigrants?" are queries that your average detective might ask, but I'm a Facebook detective. The only questions I generally ask are things like "What's on your mind?" and some others, I imagine, so it never really occurred to me. Tracking down Admiral Chandler Woodsturn. This is the case that gave me a funny feeling. In my business, sometimes a funny feeling is all you have to go by, and turning your back on one of those feelings is almost always a shortcut down a shady alley in a town called Danger. The case still stunk like last Tuesday's gym socks, but I needed the money (to, in part, buy laundry detergent to wash those socks), so I lit up a cigarette and started huffing it down my usual avenue. I hit the beat and in just a few seconds, stopped dead in my tracks, letting the cigarette drop right out of my mouth. Before the ash even hit the carpet, I was already out the door and booking it downtown to see Regan. *** "Here's your check back, Regan, I don't want it. You don't stick around in this business for as long as I have without learning how to spot the difference between a garter snake and a killer python. I'm here to return your check, minus some expenses, and tell you that I won't be able to complete your case. Also, I'm sorry I kicked your door down when I came in, I really wanted to talk to you." "You didn't even try to knock." "Maybe I did, maybe I didn't. The punchline is, you can go ahead and file this case under 'Up for Grabs' again, because I'm wiping my name off it." "But why, detective? You solved those other two cases so quickly." "A case like this, Mrs. Woodsturn, is the kind of case that keeps detectives like me up at night. It's why you're likely to find more dicks in a dive bar then in a church, looking for salvation in a bottle. The case is unsolvable. I didn't see it at first. I saw three cases: a kid nephew, a young husband and an old retiree. One of these things didn't belong, but I just didn't see it, maybe the shadow cast by that check of yours was keeping me too in the dark, I don't know. All I know is, I'm not touching this case, it is entirely unsolvable." "How do you know?" "How old is your father-in-law, Mrs. Woodsturn?" "Eighty… five or so?" I stubbed out my cigarette and leaned in, just a few inches away from Woodsturn's face. "And how many 85-year-olds do you know that use Facebook?" She was starting to get it now. "You mean…?" "That's right, sweetness."
"He's not there," I said, though that explanation was probably unnecessary. "Might he be on MySpace?" "Jesus, I don't know. That's none of my business. My business is on Facebook, and if there's no account, there's no work." She tried protesting a bit more, mostly out of blind denial, not reason. I saw some tears creeping in to make their second cameo of the evening. "But… what if we convince him to get an account? I mean, can't- Would that… help? If we… if… if-" I took her in my arms. "Forget it, Regan. It's Real Life."

Dear Miriam,
I just got used to the idea that I was old enough to have most of my friends married, and now they're starting to get divorced! At one wedding a couple of years ago, my friends and I took a great picture that I have framed on my wall. The now-divorced bride is coming to visit, and I'm trying to decide if I should take the photo down before she shows up. She's actually not even in it, but it's obviously from her wedding. I also have pictures taken at other now-defunct weddings on Facebook and on my phone, not to mention all the wedding favors from these failed unions. It's not like I can really be upset, since they're not my relationships that have fallen apart, but I still feel like I'm stuck cleaning up some of the mess!
Divorce Detritus
Dear Detritus,
Oh, to be a grown-up, right? Even if a couple lives happily ever after, you might still decide you don't need to keep the packet of sunflower seeds (what I gave away at my wedding) or the electric blue kippah that actually hurts to look at. It would be in poor taste to throw away the favor at the wedding. But once you leave the venue, it's yours to do with as you please. That includes keeping it past the marriage's expiration date, too. It's a shame because people spend a lot of time coordinating every aspect of their weddings, and no one does all that planning thinking that years down the road, their friends will have to figure out if they should try to erase that part of history.
If you enjoy the picture of your friends on your wall, keep it there, whether or not your divorced friend is visiting. If you resent having used all your vacation days that year between bachelorette party, shower and actual wedding, or every time you look at the picture, you think, "We look great, but I can't believe I spent so much on a wedding gift," then it might be time to take it down. These mementos are loaded, and you might be happier not looking at them all the time.
Should you decide to keep the picture up, don't mention it to your friend or feel the need to offer an apology. It's part of your memories and your decor, not hers. If she mentions the picture, be ready to say something totally innocuous like, "Oh, I really love this picture of us." I suppose it's possible that she would ask you to take it down. If she did, you would do best to oblige, at least while she's in your home. Also, if the couple had been in the picture, I would have suggested taking it down, but more for the weirdness factor than for her feelings — as in, why would you want a picture of a divorced couple on your wall?
Regarding Facebook, I feel like something really bad would have to have happened to bother going back and deleting pictures. But again, if your friend requests that, then you definitely should. As for your phone, unless you're showing these pictures off all the time, which, again, would be weird, no one else will know they're there. Still, maybe you want to free up some space and clear the air for yourself, too. Whatever you decide, the most important end result is to be a supportive friend, whatever form that takes.
Be well,

I'm really enjoying the war films of Humphrey Jennings; the way he combines music with a documentary (Listening to Britain) and poetry with a documentary (Words for Battle) is masterful. And although he clearly is influenced by montage, Jennings is singularly British as well.
I'm also enjoying how King Vidor weaves sound and scene in Our Daily Bread and his work generally (The Crowd).
And I remain a serious devotee of Bunuel and his editing throughout his very long career.
I'm interested in exploring new avenues in what role sound plays in a documentary and how to weave that into the editing process. Any reading suggestions you might have along these lines would also be warmly welcomed.
Thanks for all the help!

If you're enjoying the Jennings, a must-read is Dai Vaughan's "Portrait of an Invisible Man: The Working Life of Stewart MacAllister, Film Editor". Remember that "Listen to Britain" credits Jennings and MacAllister as co-directors.
It's the single most inspiring book on editing documentary I know, written by the most experienced documentary editor in the UK. It's out of print, but you can still find copies via websites like http://www.abebooks.com

Thanks John, I'm enjoying the heck out of Jennings. That fellow is masterful in so many ways and way, way ahead of his time.
That's an awesome tip about McAllister. Thanks!

Hello all . . . I'm working on a project in which I would like to use entries from an old diary I've uncovered. However, I'm having the hardest time reading a large portion of what the person wrote. Does anyone out there know of a good hand-writing expert who may help me "translate" the entries? Any help/suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Struggling against 5000 years of Confucian tradition and a communist government that views any type of organizing with suspicion, China's gay community is finding novel ways to fit into the fabric of modern society without hiding who they really are.
CASA (HOUSE) by Luis Alaejos and Raúl DÃez Alaejos
In what was once the tallest building in all of South America, 1500 neighbors of all social classes co- exist. This is a portrait of Montevideo's Palacio Salvo and its occupants: artists of little and great renown, recent arrivals attracted by the building's bohemian atmosphere, those who want to leave, but can't, and those who are the ghosts of a building's faded past.
Please come join us and pass the word on. Filmmakers and non-filmmakers alike are welcome to attend and participate.

I need an Assistant Editor to come to Cleveland for several days, a week, or however much time necessary, to come up with organization system for a long form doc containing 200 – 300 hours of footage and numerous characters. Footage needs to be logged and searchable, interviews need to be transcribed and we need to be able to train interns to do much of the rudimentary work. Editing HDV material in Final Cut.
Fee negotiable plus travel/living expenses and accommodations. Could eventually be an ongoing position depending on funding. Prefer someone within a 1000-mile vicinity of Cleveland (i.e. New York).
Please email resume to:
You can read about my other work here:
Synopsis of current documentary available upon request.
Tue 19 Feb 2008
Hi Laura, do you want the AE to transcribe the interviews? I'm sure that will take much more time...
Tue 19 Feb 2008
No. The idea would be to come up with the best system so we can train interns to do the actual grunt work. For example, should they be given clones of QT files? How will they log the time code? etc.
Thu 21 Feb 2008
But if anyone has a better idea on how to start organizing a project for an editor before you can afford to pay one, please let me know!
Thu 21 Feb 2008
Your best solution is to get all 200 hours onto hard drives. Then make clones of sections of the materials that can be loaded into an edit system so people have control over the material. Let them make subclips with notes about the material. The transcript project should be done by a professional who can insert time code into the documents. That said, I wouldn't bother with transcripts of all the material. Too expensive. Just transcribe the 20% that may make it into the film.
Thu 21 Feb 2008
Robert – thanks for responding. I'm going to post my question and response to yours in the editing section.
Fri 22 Feb 2008
what would be the best options in terms of camera to shoot a shoestring budget documentary which requires a lot of outdoor shootings following a subject discreetly in different local public places and some indoors for interviews- (pretty much guerilla/ news style)?
here are the options:
-Panasonic DVX 100b
-Panasonic AG-HVX200(P2 cards + camera =outside our budget range-unless somone knows a great place to buy it cheap)
- Sony HDR-FX1 (someone told me good but not so great)
-Sony HVR-A1U
-Sony HVR-Z1U
now i have been told, since the film style will be pretty much hidden camera style (almost) , to use may be a high end HD consumer camera so i can hide it even in pocket.
does anyone know anything about the quality of these cameras below:
-Panasonic HDC-HS9 (HD & 24p)
Canon HV20 HDV (HD & 24p)
Panasonic AG-HSC1
Sony HDR-CX7
any suggestions or help?
thank you

Just saw this info on the IDFA Summer School. Posting it here, so enthusiasts can see it too:
Fri 22 Feb 2008
it's nice that IDFA wants to do this, but c'mon, that's friggin expensive. first and second time directors who are currently in the midst of producing their films do NOT have the money to jaunt off to amsterdam for a bit of mentorship. to go from the u.s., you'd have to spend about $2500-$3000 for tuition, airfare, and accomodations. no IDFA Summer School for me.

Are you getting fermented foods daily? Many cultures eat a little bit in every meal. These are packed full of good bacteria and probiotics. Some examples are apple cider vinegar with the mother, pickles, sour kraut, yogurt with live cultures, kimchi, kefir, kombucha tea, etc. These are particularly important if you have been on anti-biotics which deplete your immune system of good and bad bacteria. Your digestive system will thank you. In addition, the vitamins in this type of food are multiplied many times over. I start the day with 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar with the mother made by Braggs in a glass of water with lemon. Making your own fermented vegetables is not hard. The only equipment needed are a mason jar, distilled water and 1 to 3 tablespoons of pink himilayan sea salt if using a large mason jar. Let me know if you would like more information on how to do this!
Here is a recipe for one of the best snacks to eat before or after a workout to re-fuel the muscles. It is a better choice than a protein bar because there are no preservatives in it. Make sure to refrigerate since the peanut butter is natural.
One cup of natural peanut butter with the oil drained
One cup of oatmeal
One cup of honey
One and a quarter cup of vanilla whey protein powder
Mix all the ingredients and make into 20 balls.

Are you in search of ways to keep you life toxin free? If so, I have the most amazing smelling face wash I have ever found. It is so easy and cheap to make that I will never have to buy it again. In addition, since the skin is a major organ that makes up 80% of our body, in doesn't need toxins going into it that may not have been approved by the FDA.
Recipe: 1/2 cup of organic cold pressed coconut oil melted in warm water
1 tablespoon baking soda
5 drops of your lavender essential oil.
5 drops of frankincense essential oil
5 drops of lemon
It is smooth and smells amazing. It yields 2 1/2 small glass mason jars.
Are you in search of ways to keep you life toxin free? If so, I have the most amazing smelling and working deodorant I have ever found. It is so easy and cheap to make that I will never have to buy it again. The advantage to deodorants is your body releases the sweat it was designed to do instead of staying in your body and possibly leading to disease. In addition, since the skin is a major organ that makes up 80% of our body, in doesn't need toxins going into it that may not have been approved by the FDA.
Recipe: 1/2 cup of organic cold pressed coconut oil melted in warm water
1/2 cup baking soda
20 drops of your favorite essential oil. I used 10 drop of lemon and 10 drops of lavender.
It is smooth and smells amazing. It yielded 2 deodorant containers and 1/3 glass jar. It also smells great and works! I worked out hard for 90 minutes today to test it and I like it better than the other toxin free versions I have tried.
2 large organic beets cooked and puréed,
4 oz of good dark chocolate (I use organic 70%),
1/4 cup organic cold pressed coconut oil
1/4 cup raw honey
1/3 cup of raw cacao not cocoa powder (it is richer and full of antioxidants because not processed)
3 tablespoons or coconut or almond flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 teas. sea salt
Optional: 1/2 cup semi sweet chocolate chips ( I use Enjoy life which is dairy and gluten free)
1/2 teaspoon of vanilla.
Melt chocolate bar and coconut oil over low heat
Preheat oven to 350 and spray 8 x 8 pan
Add puréed beets to cooled chocolate mixture
Add cacao powder, flour, baking soda a salt to 2 whisked eggs and vanilla in separate bowl. Add chocolate beet mixture and lastly chocolate chips.

As we age, we lose muscle. We lose 15% a decade after 50 and 20% a decade after 60. Body builders have always known the importance of casein for creating lean muscle mass. Why use casein verses whey? What is it? It is what mostly makes up milk. Milk is 80% casein and 20% whey.
The reason whey is used by so many for a pre work out drink is because it is rapidly absorbed by the muscles in 10 minutes so when you work out, your body is done digesting. It is also so good right after a workout because it will rapidly refuel the muscles which are made of protein.
Casein is better for a protein to use right before bed because it is a slowly digesting protein that will refuel our muscles all night long. If you prefer, just eat Greek yogurt or cottage cheese or yes even warm milk to do the same thing.
This is so delicious and full of antioxidents. I love eating chocolate that is good for my body!
1/2 cup organic cold pressed coconut oil
1/2 cup of organic cocao not cocoa because it is unprocessed cocoa and full of good for your body antioxidents.
2 tablespoons of raw honey (I use local)
After you mix ingredients roll out with a rolling pin and refrigerate for 10 minutes for it to harden.
What do you love to do that is active? When you were a kid, what were your favorite activities?Answering these questions can help put some passion in your workouts. I used to love bike riding as a kid. As an adult, I pursued it again. I signed up for a race for a great cause, (MS) got fitted properly for a good racing bike and got all the gear to go with it. I trained with others and had a great time accomplising my goal. At the gym, I really liked heavy weight training. I got a trainer and learned how to properly lift and gradually got stronger. I still like to pursue new personal records by competing against myself. I am passionate about it because I love the sense of empowerment it gives me. I would love to set up a training program designed especially for you to achieve any goal you want to pursue. Dream, train, achieve!
Let's face it we all lose motivation to stay active once in a while. Part of the reason is that we are creatures of habit and tend to do the same things over and over. For example, when going to the gym, people tend to do the same machines or use the same peice of cardio equipment and naturally, they will get bored with that. A good thing to do, especially in the good weather, is to take your cardio outside. Go on a walk and breathe the fresh air or dust off that bike and take it for a ride. Another great thing to do is invest in a personal trainer who will take the time to design a program just for you. Then after you know your program, mix up the order once in a while. Working out doesn't have to be routine or boring! Let me know if I can help you in any way.
Here is a healthy snack and great for a pre-workout or post workout fuel.
Mix all together and roll into 24 balls

'Break-open' ticket potential revenue debatedBy PETER HIRSCHFELD
Vermont Press Bureau | February 06,2013Albert J. Marro / Staff Photo
Some Vermont economists say the administration has over estimated the money to be raised by rip open tickets by as much as $10 million.MONTPELIER — Gov. Peter Shumlin wants to raise $17 million next year by imposing a 10 percent tax on the "break-open" tickets sold at bars and service clubs across the state. But legislators say the governor's revenue estimates reflect the same kind of wishful thinking as the people playing the game of chance.
Fiscal analysts for the Legislature say the proposed tax on this unregulated lottery would raise only $6.5 million — about a third of the administration's estimate. And lawmakers say the lower projections — released by the Joint Fiscal Office this week — jeopardize the weatherization programs and renewable energy subsidies for which Shumlin had earmarked the money.
"My experience with the Joint Fiscal Office is that they do a very good job estimating revenues," House Speaker Shap Smith said Tuesday. "I would hope that the administration will now be willing to put forward other ways to fund those programs, or to decide which programs they think are a priority for funding."
Administration Secretary Jeb Spaulding said that won't be necessary, because it's the Joint Fiscal Office that has it wrong.
The administration is telling lawmakers that more than 173 million tickets are sold annually in Vermont, an estimate Spaulding said is based both on reported sales and on interviews with ticket manufacturers. Two additional analyses conducted by the Department of Taxes, Spaulding said, pegged annual revenues from the tax at anywhere from $13.5 million to $22.5 million.
The game is for the most part unregulated in Vermont, and while proceeds from the lottery are supposed to benefit nonprofits or charities, there's little oversight to ensure the money isn't diverted elsewhere.
"I think our estimate is realistic," Spaulding said. "And I can't possibly see how it could raise less than $13.5 million."
The joint fiscal estimates doesn't put much stock in the administration's annual estimate for ticket sales. According to the Legislature's analysts, that would mean that all 626,000 Vermonters are spending an average of $124.30 every year on break-open tickets — nearly three times the per-capita rate in New Hampshire, 11 times the rate in New York and 35 times the rate in Massachusetts.
The Joint Fiscal analysis also accounts for what economists call "elasticity" — the downward trend on demand that tends to accompany any new tax. According to the JFO, Vermont would see a 25 percent dip in ticket sales as a result of the proposed assessment.
The Legislature and administration have a process for reconciling differing revenue projections, wherein representatives from both branches come together to develop "consensus" estimates. But when the Joint Fiscal Office approached the administration to work toward that consensus, the administration declined.
Asked why the administration turned down offers to work toward a consensus number, Spaulding said, "I don't have a good answer for that."
"And maybe we should talk with them more," Spaulding said.
Key lawmakers say the Joint Fiscal numbers are the only ones holding weight in the House and Senate.
"At end of day, it means we're going to take the estimate from our Joint Fiscal staff as our assumption," said Rep. Janet Ancel, a Calais Democrat and chairwoman of the House Committee on Ways and Means. "That means in the governor's budget, which proposes increases in spending of $17 million for these programs, there isn't actually enough money to spend that amount. And we can't spend money we believe isn't there."
Shumlin has earmarked the money for three programs: $6 million for low-income heating assistance, $6 million for low-income weatherization programs, and $5 million for renewable-energy subsidies.
"If the Legislature decides that it believes it's appropriate to fund these proposals, then we would need to find the most equitable and intelligent way to raise the money, because we cannot at present count on anything more than what our own analysts are telling us to expect," said Sen. Tim Ashe, a Chittenden County Democrat/Progressive and chairman of the Senate Committee on Finance.
Ancel said she's concerned chiefly about an inability to reach common ground on a revenue projection, something without which, she said, will make it difficult to have a rationale debate about the merits of the proposal.
"We have always been able to come up with a consensus estimate between the tax department and Joint Fiscal Office working together," Ancel said. "It concerns me we aren't able to do that this year."

Star tight end Vernon Davis and starting right guard Alex Boone are not participating in this week's voluntary activities because they are unhappy with their contracts, according to multiple reports. Both players are signed through 2015 and hoping to garner an extension.
Davis signed a five-year, $37 million contract in 2010 that made him the highest-paid tight end in the NFL at the time. Since then, the New England Patriots' Rob Gronkowski and the Dallas Cowboys' Jason Witten each received more lucrative deals on average, while Jimmy Graham likely would get a bigger deal should he sign with the New Orleans Saints long term.
Graham was franchised this spring at $7,503,000 but is filing a grievance to be considered a wide receiver, which would net him $12,132,000 million in 2014.
Davis registered 13 of the 49ers' 21 touchdown receptions last year, becoming the second tight end in league history to notch at least 13 receiving scores in multiple seasons. The 30-year-old is likely looking for more long-term security with two years remaining on his contract.
Boone's reported unhappiness stems from the deal the lineman signed in 2011 before becoming a starter. It paid him an average of $1,635,000 per season with a $2.59 million salary-cap hit in 2014. However, he started every game over the past two seasons, outperforming his deal.
However, it appears Boone would have significantly less leverage than Davis after San Francisco used two third-round picks addressing the interior of the offensive line. San Francisco took USC's Marcus Martin and Clemson's Brandon Thomas, although Thomas is likely to miss the season after sustaining an ACL tear during a pre-draft workout.
The 49ers also have Daniel Kilgore, who is also versed in all three interior positions and signed a three-year extension this offseason.
The contract includes a fifth-year option after the 2016 season.
The Chargers' first-round pick (No. 25 overall) had nine interceptions and 160 tackles in three seasons at Texas Christian. The 5-foot-10, 189-pound Verrett was a second-team All-American selection in 2013.
--- The Seattle Seahawks agreed to a new contract with wide receiver Doug Baldwin, according to reports Thursday.
NFL Network reported the deal is for three years and $13 million -- an average of $5.45 per year in new money, and can be worth up to $6.5 million per year with incentives. Baldwin was scheduled to make $2.2 million this season as a restricted free agent. The new deal allows Baldwin to hit unrestricted free agency after the 2016 season. according to ESPN.com.
The undrafted Baldwin, 25, came into the league in 2011 and led the team's receivers in catches (51), yards (788) and touchdowns (four). Last season, he ranked second in receptions (50) and yards (778) and tied for first with five touchdowns.
--- Seven weeks removed from ankle surgery, New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning practiced for the second day in a row.
Manning is taking snaps from center, dropping back, rolling out and throwing passes to his receivers, backs and tight ends. Hesaid it helps to be on the field with the Giants learning new offensive coordinator Ben McAdoo's offense.
"The last few weeks, I've been doing most things from a practice standpoint," Manning said. "We're still being smart about things and not trying to overdo it, but definitely, football activities, I feel like I can do them all full."
--- New Orleans Saints safety Jairus Byrd underwent back surgery that the team hopes will have him back at full speed in time for training camp, coach Sean Payton said Thursday.
Payton said the surgery for the Saints' prized free agency acquisition didn't have to be done but that all parties decided it would be best for Byrd long-term after a disc issue had been nagging him for the past month.Payton said Byrd will probably miss all of the organized team activities and minicamp over the next month.
The three-time Pro Bowler signed a six-year, $54 million contract that included $20.3 million in guaranteed money, plus another $6 million guaranteed for injury only. Byrd had 22 interceptions and 11 forced fumbles in five seasons with the Buffalo Bills.
--- The Carolina Panthers signed their second-round draft choice, defensive end Kony Ealy from Missouri, the team announced Thursday.
The 6-foot-5, 275-pound Ealy, the 60th overall pick, played in 38 games with 25 starts at Missouri, entering the NFL following his junior season. He produced 93 tackles, 27.5 tackles for loss, 14 sacks, 19 quarterback pressures, four forced fumbles, one fumble recovery, one interception and 13 passes defensed.
---The Buffalo Bills signed offensive lineman Cyrus Kouandjio to a rookie contract on Thursday.
Terms of the deal were not announced for the team's second-round pick (No. 44 overall) in the 2014 NFL Draft. Kouandjio, a native of Cameroom, was the last of the Bills' seven draft picks this year to sign.
