Break the chocolate into pieces and place in a heatproof bowl. Then assemble a bain-marie – do this by pouring a little water into a saucepan and placing the bowl over the water (making sure the water does not touch the bottom of the bowl). Set the pan over a gentle heat and warm the water until the chocolate has melted. Take off the heat and leave to cool a little.
Meanwhile, place the butter and half the sugar into another large bowl. Using a tabletop mixer or electric hand whisk, beat until the mixture is really light and creamy, then beat in the cocoa powder.
Separate the eggs (the whites can be frozen for another time) and put the yolks in a third bowl. Tip in the remaining sugar, then beat together until pale and creamy. To check if it's ready, make a figure-of-eight shape in the mixture with the beater – it should hold its shape for a moment. In a fourth bowl, whip the cream until thickened with soft peaks.
Pour the melted chocolate into the butter mixture, and carefully stir through until it is well combined. Gently fold in the egg mixture. When this is amalgamated, stir in the whipped cream. Now line a 6.5 x 22cm tin with 3 layers of cling film, leaving a 10cm overhang.
Spoon the mixture into a large piping bag with a large nozzle attached (see Gordon's steps, far right). Pipe a layer over the bottom of the tin, then cover this with a layer of After Eights (cut some in half to ensure they fit). Pipe over another layer of chocolate cream, followed by a layer of After Eights. Continue until you have 4 layers of chocolate mints and the tin is full, finishing with a chocolate cream layer. Fold over the cling film, then chill overnight or up to 2 days.
Just before serving, place the marquise in the freezer for 10 mins to make it easier to slice. Place the tin, bottomside up, on a serving plate, slide off the tin, then peel away the cling film. If you have a blowtorch, quickly run the flame over the surface of the marquise to give it a glossy sheen. Alternatively, dip a palette knife in boiling water and smooth the surface that way. Use a serrated knife dipped in boiling water to cut the marquise into slices.
No piping bag?
If you don't have a piping bag, snip off a small corner of a plastic food bag. Spoon the filling into this and use it to pipe, instead. Or, you can spoon the chocolate mixture over the After Eights, making sure to smooth over any air pockets.
Buy the tin
You can buy 6.5 x 22cm tins from specialist baking shops, or online at divertimenti.co.uk. You could also use a regular loaf tin – but as this is a bit wider, only make three layers of After Eights.
Freeze for a month
The marquise will keep in the freezer for up to one month – just defrost in the fridge for an hour before serving. Try freezing slices individually – this will make plating up much quicker.

check this spectacular red fruits chocolate cake at marmite et ponpon... really worth a try
check this amazing... easy to do, no bake oreo choco-pops at marmite et ponpon.
I made this in an ordinary loaf tin so only had 3 layers of after eights. Between the after eights in the middle layer I placed a line of fresh raspberries and served it with a raspberry couli. I cut it into individual slices before freezing using a hot knife but I cut from the side rather than from above the cake which I think is the secret to achieving a clean finish. My guests loved it. It's a very adult dessert, fairly expensive to make and one wasted on the children!!
This is very very good and very very rich! The smallest slice is enough and you are talking about someone who is no stranger to over eating! Just in case you are interested, I needed a wine to go with this for a posh dinner party - not easy - dark choc and mint. I went for a Chilean Cabernet Sauvignon where supposedly the tanins in the wine cancelled out the taninns in the chocolate. They were right - the wine went fantastically!! (To my surprise). You could just taste the fruit in the wine - all were impressed.
Unfortunately in step 2 I combined all the sugar and butter by accident rather than half the sugar. It still came out well and looked great but the texture was a little grainy. Very rich so only need a small portion. I will try again and follow instructions properly next time! Still impressed everyone so not a complete disaster!
Questions (3)
I didn't have caster sugar so I used golden caster sugar. The mixture tasted fine and looked exactly as pictured. I haven't taken it out and it's been in the fridge for maybe 30 minuets. I also didn't have cling film and used baking paper instead. Is there anything that could go wrong? Should I still serve it? I've made it as a tester for an actual dinner party in December so I'm not too fussed if it doesn't turn out.

Prosecutors recommending Thompson get nine year sentence
In court documents released Monday, federal prosecutors outlined the reasons why they want former Spokane Police Officer Karl Thompson to spend at least nine years in prison for using excessive force and violating Otto Zehm's civil rights.
Thompson's attorneys want no jail time at all, but what the court documents show is that prosecutors plan to use more than just the facts of the crime to put Thompson behind bars.
Prosecutors say Thompson used a dangerous weapon, obstructed justice and abused his position of power that night in March of 2005, when Thompson met Zehm at a Zip Trip convenience store on North Division.
Prosecutors want Judge Fred Van Sickle to consider the broader implications of this case on our community.
The erosion of public trust, specifically saying that the election of Mayor David Condon proves the city wanted significant change in police oversight.
They cite the fact Thompson was, at the time, a candidate for the open police chief position and they want the judge to consider what this has cost the city financially, including a $2 Million settlement with the Zehm family and the $500,000 the city spent for Thompson's defense.
Prosecutors also say this case, and Zehm's treatment, have had a devastating effect on the mentally ill in our community, making them fearful of our police department.
Whether or not those factors are considered is up to Judge Van Sickle at Thompson's sentencing on November 15.

We were sorry that we could not in the apartment of our choice. Wimdu has finally solved everything fine. The other apartment was great. Calle del mar 44. Brand new with all the trimmings! We had five wonderful days!

Gloednieuw met alles erop en eraan! We hebben 5 heerlijke dagen gehad!
Reviews for this host's other properties

Todo bien! un apartamento muy lindo!
Alles bestens, schönes Appartement!
Everything perfect, lovely place!
A really nice property but ultimately disappointing. A completely refurbished fisherman cottage. Two of us stayed there for 9 nights and was the most expensive we have ever spent and didn't think overall it offered great value for money. Was originally superbly refurbished but doesn't seem to have been maintained since then.
The photos do reflect the property and there is plenty of space, especially for two and should be sufficient for 4 but there are limitations. One sofa for three in a line but needs more. Lots of towels so no issue there. Plus a bathroom and a separate toilets. The kitchen has plenty of crockery, cutlery etc so no issues here. Also the air con worked well but we only used it at night.
Biggest issues are complete lack of any basic condiments and things to cook with except for some salt and sugar, if would are staying for the amount of time we did then helpful to have these. Also a lack of cleansing materials. The advert said Internet access which was essential. They provided us with a 4G wireless router, which didn't work well. I was getting better data rates through my iphone which is only 3G, even have data rate tests to prove it!
The biggest issue was that the address on the advert was number 26, it transpired that it was 266. May not sound much but had we know we would not have booked it. It is a further 15/20 mins walk from where we expected it to be and in a completely different location.
Word of warming: if you have any sort mobility issues, infirm or have young children do not book it. Access into the property is via a very narrow set of steps which are steep and potentially dangerous. No child gates and getting up and down with cases was really tricky.
Fine and comfortable lodging. A spacious apartment in a neat apartment building. The location is excellent. Between the old town and beach. The metro is 10 minutes walk away, but if you like walking both destinations are also well on foot. The supermarket is around the corner. On Friday and Saturday night there are between the apartment buildings, many tapas bars where you can eat. It's pretty busy then.
Prima en comfortabele verblijfplaats. Ruim bemeten appartement in een net appartementencomplex. De ligging is uitstekend. Tussen oude stad en strand in. De metro ligt op 10 minuten afstand lopen, maar als je van wandelen houdt zijn beide bestemmingen ook goed te voet bereikbaar. De supermarkt ligt om de hoek. Op vrijdag- en zaterdag avond zijn er tussen de appartementsgebouwen veel barretjes waar je tapas kunt eten. Het is er dan gezellig druk.
very nice place, good location, nice rooftop terrace too
one minor point: a bad smell in the appartment: best to sleep with the windows open (and earplugs!)
Ideal area for young and party. Nice and comfortable, clean and well equipped. Not suitable for children: many stairs, street noise. Missing size sofa bed linens. Host arrived half an hour late without parking area, but very nice and attentive.
Ideal la zona para jóvenes y fiesta. Bonito y cómodo, limpio y muy bien equipado. No ideal para niños: muchas escaleras, ruido en la calle. Faltan sábanas tamaño sofá-cama. Anfitrión llegó media hora tarde en zona sin parking, pero muy agradable y atenta.
We really enjoyed our stay at this apartment. The apartment was nice and very clean, and we especially enjoyed the terrace on the top floor. The view was just amazing! The hosts were nice as well and we'd definitely recommend the apartment to others!
It is a beautiful, well maintained apartment in the old town of Valencia. We had beautiful days there. Marga
Het is een prachtig, goed onderhouden appartement in de oude binnenstad van Valencia. We hebben mooie dagen daar gehad.

Admired for their courage and physical prowess, the Sikhs form a distinct and admired community in India. Sikhs are easily distinguished from other Indians by their turbans, which cover their long hair and beards, both of which they are forbidden to cut. Sikh gurus are both religious and military leaders and are commonly portrayed as princely soldiers, as in this equestrian portrait.

Seven-Goal Rally Sends Princeton Past Hoyas
from press release
Cassie Pyle goes to goal Sunday. Pyle scored three goals and dished an assist for Princeton, which erased a four-goal, second-half deficit to defeat Georgetown 12-11.
© Jim O'Connor
PRINCETON, N.J. -- A seven-goal run in the
second half propelled the No. 12-ranked Princeton women's lacrosse
team to a 12-11 win over No. 13 Georgetown on Sunday, March 27 at
Princeton Stadium.
The Tigers quickly took a 3-0 lead with goals from junior Cassie Pyle, senior Lizzy Drumm and sophomore Jaci Gassaway. Georgetown would tally two goals in three minutes to cut its deficit to one with 11:46 to play in the first.
Sophomore Charlotte Davis scored in transition to make it 4-2 Tigers at 7:49. The Hoyas would get two more to tie the game with less than five to play. Senior Kaitlyn Mauritz would score her second of the season to give her team the 5-4 lead at halftime.
Georgetown came out of the locker room to score five unanswered goals in 5:14 to take a 9-5 lead at 23:42.
Princeton responded with seven straight goals to regain the lead, 12-9.
Pyle and Gassaway teamed up to assist on each other's goals within two minutes of each other to start the Tigers' comeback. Senior Maisie Devine and Drumm converted on back-to-back free-position attempts to tying the game at 9-9 with 16:23 to play.
Charlotte Davis would give Princeton back the lead, 10-9, at 11:52 with another transition goal. Six minutes would tick off the clock before Pyle would push Princeton's lead to two at 5:55 and Previ would seal the win for Princeton at 3:38 after a turnover led to a good clear for the Tigers.
With 20 seconds remaining, Princeton was playing keep away but an errant pass would give Georgetown possession. The Hoyas would have a clearing attempt before Kathleen Dwyer would score with 7.2 seconds on the clock. Dina Jackson won the next draw control and after a Princeton foul, Jordy Kirr was awarded a free-position attempt. She would score on that eight-meter shot with 1.0 second on the clock to end the game 12-11.
Georgetown had a 28-22 advantage in shots on goal and had 13 ground balls to Princeton's 12. The Hoyas also won the draw control battle, taking 14 of 23. The Tigers converted on 75 percent of their shots on goal, getting 12 goals on 16 shots on frame. Princeton was also 3 for 4 from the fan, while Georgetown converted on three of its six chances.
Pyle would lead the Tigers with four points with a hat trick and an assist. Gassaway had three points on two goals and a helper. Charlotte Davis and Drumm had two goals apiece and Devine had a goal and an assist each. Senior Erin Tochihara had 10 saves and led the team in ground balls with three.
Dwyer had a three-goal game for Georgetown while Jackson finished with three points on two goals and an assist. Jacqueline Giles notched two goals. Barb Black would make just four stops in goal for the Hoyas.
Princeton will be on the road for its next three games, first stopping off at Cornell on Saturday, April 2 for a noon game with the Big Red.

Contests & Sweepstakes Tips, Advice, and Questions
Score +69
Thread DetailsLast Edited by BostonGirl March 8, 2015 at 08:18 AM
The Basic Advice/Tips for the new-to-sweeping folks.
Enter for the items you want/need. If you have no interest in trips, avoid the sweeps where the only prize is a trip. If you know you can't afford the tax on a new vehicle, avoid entering for those.
Set up folders in your bookmark/favorites. Create a separate one for each month, and file any sweeps you are interested in into the folder corresponding with when it ends. Then, if you have a day where you're pressed for time, enter at least the ones ending that day.
Play the instant win games.
Follow the rules! If a sweep is restricted to only females, a certain age group, certain states, etc, make sure you fit the criteria! If you don't, move on to another sweep that you do qualify for. Do not create a bunch of email addresses so you can enter something more than once, or so you can play an Instant win game more. The Sponsors can tell, and will DQ you. You're better off playing by the rules than cheating and getting disqualified and having NO entries.
Don't immediately dismiss essay required sweeps (or recipes, photos, etc)....well, unless you know you don't want to write something. A lot of people pass on them, so you might have a better shot at winning something.
Don't expect this to be lucrative enough to become a job. Yes, a lot of us win, and often, but not nearly enough to quit a job!
Expect things to go slow at first. It takes a while for the wins to roll in. But once they do...look out!
Expect to occasionally hit a dry spell. It happens to ALL of us.
DEFINITELY USE YOUR REAL INFO! If you use a fake phone number, and a sponsor is calling to notify people of wins, you'll never know what you missed out on. I, and many others, have been doing this for a long time, and we have no problems with sales calls. Also, use your real name. If your name is Robert or Catherine, using Bob or Cathy is ok, as they are known acceptable shorter versions of that name. if your name is Matilda, and you go by Fluffy, don't use Fluffy. Looking at your ID to get an affy notarized, they may reject it because the names don't match. The sponsor may also say "Fluffy won, not Matilda". So stick with using your real name, or something close to it.
Most of all, HAVE FUN! And don't be afraid to ask questions. We were all new to this at one time. Any one of us would be happy to answer questions.

All About Sweepstakes Taxes
Also consider talking to your tax preparer and/or researching further into your tax responsibility.
I have found this page helpful in understanding some of sweep's law - a sweeps law co.'s site:
The Lustigman Firm; Attorneys at Law
The Lustigman Firm provides experienced legal counsel that helps protect the business interests
of its advertising and promotional clients around the United States and Canada
What does " age of majority in your state or province " mean?
(sometimes abbreviated as AoM+ )
it's the legal age of that state or province...
The Age of majority is the threshold of adulthood as it is conceptualized in law. It is the chronological moment when children legally assume majority control over their persons and their actions and decisions, thereby terminating the legal control and legal responsibilities of their parents over and for them.
there's a list by country and by US State there....
For most purposes, the age of majority in the U.S. is 18,
except for 2 states with the age of 19 (Nebraska,Alabama)
and one state with the age of 21 (Mississippi)
and two (American Samoa and Puerto Rico) that retain 14 as the age of majority.
Occasionally PA is listed under the 19+ or 21+
Regarding missing prizes
If you were expecting a prize you've never received you can complain 1st to the sweepstakes administrator, then to the sweepstakes sponsor and finally to USPS Postal Inspectors

Occasionally a....less than ethical sweep will get posted.
You might end up finding unauthorized charges on your phone bill. Unauthorized charges on the phone bill are what's called "Cramming".

You (and your parents) need to decide if the company is legitimate and if the prize is worth risking giving your SSN to.

I started into the sweepstakes/instant win game thing a few weeks ago. I probably do about 200-300 contests a day in my spare time around work and the kids. I know it will be several months or even more before I see a big one (if I even see one at all.)
My main question is about IWG's. When do most of you play them? I have heard that you should play at like 2-3 AM if you want any chance of winning, but that is just not something I can do everyday. Is it possible to win at other times of the day and if so what times are second best?
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help. I know this must be an annoying question and I apologize.
i havent won anything majorly huge. biggest win was probably 500 bucks and second biggest was a portable dvd player but i have won a lot of stuff between 50 and 150. sometimes i like the cheaper prizes then the more expensive ones lol.
I just needed to reply to the email with my contact info to claim my prize. Here's how they put it in the winner's notification email/the first one:
"We'll need you to reply and confirm your receipt of this e-mail and also provide us with your full name, mailing address, phone number, and size (XS, S, M, L) so we can send you your prize. We would also like to ask you to please send us a photo of yourself wearing your new Collection B jacket – we would love to show how great it looks on you on the Collection B website! Please send photos to firstname.lastname@example.com.
In addition, attached is an Affidavit that we will need you to sign and mail back. We must receive the original copy of the Affidavit before we send you your prize and please note, it must include your social security number and it must be notarized. "
I think that was pretty poorly put. But i'm happy i'll be getting it.
Twitter Tips:
- Read the rules
- Look for the ORIGINAL tweet on the sponsors page to make sure you're tweeting the right thing. (I don't recommend just copying someone else's tweet because they might be Tweeting a contest that already ended. It happens a lot. Better to keep track yourself.)
- Hitting "ReTweet" on someone's tweet (who's not the sponsor) does NOT show up in the sponsors mention feed, unless they're using a program like TweetDeck, etc. (if that's how they're choosing winners). you're 'forwarding' that persons tweet per se to all your followers. (Referring to the NEW style ReTweet)
- Use lists to keep company twitters/regular ppl organized.
- Use your favorites list to keep track of contests.
- You can tell when sponsors pick winners randomly or based on creativity. They'll usually tell you so pay attention
- DON'T spam a contest (post them numerous times, consecutively).. you'll risk getting blocked, filtered, or suspended.
I'd also recommend not copying every single post someone makes or hitting ReTweet on all their Tweets. You may get blocked

CondeNast used to have a sweepstakes accounting team in Chicago, who are the recipients of the affidavit and will send out tax the tax info to the IRS. not sure if they still
have these folks on board....
the IRS requires that the sponsor of the sweepstakes report any win over $600 becuase the win is considered income and therefore taxable. I was concerned about the paper work as well. my affidavit had to be notarized so i could prove that i was indeed the winner.
I had to call 3 or 4 times to get my prize... hope you have better luck than i did

(NBC News) Getting children to eat their vegetables has always been a battle, but dietitians insist that this battle is well worth the trouble.
Starting a healthy diet from an early age has been proven to provide life-long benefits for growing children, and experts say that it is possible to get your kids to enjoy dinnertime.
A good way to balance what a kid likes with what a parent wants them to like is simply to compromise, say many experts.
"Kids love to dip things, so even if it's eating a raw vegetable dipped in something, it's a good way to get them to eat it, and that's absolutely okay," said Wendy Palmer, a Registered Dietitian for Children's Healthcare of Atlanta.
Also, Palmer recommends trying to blend healthier foods into some of their favorites, ultimately creating a better diet for your child.

We continue testing 20" and 21" monitors. If you missed the first part of our test session, where we discussed monitors from Acer, NEC and BenQ, please feel free to check out our article called Closer Look at 20" and 21" LCD Monitor Features. Part II.
And now welcome our today's testing participants!
Samsung SyncMaster 203B
We are again descending from the sky to the earth as after one of the most expensive 21" monitors I'm now going to talk about recently released entry-level 20" models on TN+Film matrixes. The SyncMaster 203B is an immediate market opponent to the Acer AL2017 (see it tested at the beginning of this review). Both have the reduced resolution of 1400x1050 pixels and differ but very little in price (what's curious, the Samsung is cheaper at $400-410 while the Acer costs $20 more). Samsung presents the reduced resolution as an advantage, saying that the larger pixel size makes text more readable.
The viewing angles in the official specification are measured by a contrast drop to 5:1.
The 203B looks like a very typical monitor from Samsung. This design has already become a standard for that manufacturer. It doesn't try to impress you with its exterior, but it looks neat and appropriate on a home desk as well as in office.
The pole of the monitor's stand is rather large because not only the tilt but also the height of the screen can be adjusted, the latter within a range of 10 to 18 centimeters from the desk surface. The portrait screen orientation is also available, which is quite a surprise for a product from that price category. The screen can also be turned around its vertical axis – the rotation circle is in the base of the stand.
The stand can be fixed with a wire pin. To be able to adjust the height, you need to take the pin out. To block it, you lower the screen into the bottommost position and put the pin back again. This is less convenient than a lock button because the pin is likely to get lost (but you can make your own lock out of an ordinary paperclip.
The monitor has analog and digital (DVI-D) inputs, and an integrated power adapter.
I hold the design of the control buttons on Samsung's new monitors as an example for many other manufacturers (particularly, for BenQ). There's nothing superfluous here, no senseless decorations and no designer's play at the expense of ergonomics. It's all simple and elegant and very convenient: a row of round cute buttons on the front panel with easily readable and clear labels. A blue LED is built into the Power button. I guess no user is going to have any difficulties setting this monitor up.

Bearing witness to rainforest destruction in Indonesia. Rainforests and carbon-rich peatlands in Indonesia are being destroyed at such a rate that Indonesia is now the world's third largest emitter of greenhouse gases, after the US and China. The habitats of endangered species like the orang-utan and Sumatran tiger are disappearing. The homes and livelihoods of indigenous communities are being destroyed. Greenpeace is campaigning to end the destruction of Indonesia's rainforests and carbon-rich peatlands.

SB 1778 would direct a percentage of severance taxes on oil and gas production to facilitate transportation infrastructure projects in the shale regions, including comprehensive construction, maintenance and improvement of county and state roads impacted by oil and gas development.
"The Eagle Ford Shale is a tremendous economic asset to South Texas, but increased truck traffic has strained our rural roadways, threatening public safety and commerce," said Senator Zaffirini, whose district includes the majority of rigs and production and the top-producing counties. "My bill would ensure that a portion of tax revenue generated by oil and gas production would stay in the region and address a critical need."
The Texas Department of Transportation has estimated that it could cost $1 billion to repair the roads impacted by energy production in the Eagle Ford Shale and other areas of the state.
South Texas leaders testified in support of the legislation. They included McMullen County Judge James Teal, La Salle County Judge Joel Rodriguez, DeWitt County Judge Daryl Fowler, Zavala County Judge Joe Luna, Webb County Judge Danny Valdez and Webb County Commissioner Jaime Canales.
Other supporters of the legislation include Karnes County Judge Barbara Shaw, Live Oak County Judge Jim Huff, Texas Oil & Gas Association, Texas Independent Producers & Royalty Owners Association, American Natural Gas Alliance and Texas Alliance of Energy Producers.

It makes me laugh that when a player has a chance to move on from his team for more money they spout off 'It's a business, nothing personal'. When the team has a chance to move on from the player, however, it's personal.

Draft Day relies on a "ticking clock" built around the NFL draft — counting down to the fateful decision that one embattled general manager (Kevin Costner) makes with his first-round pick.
The thriller turns into a reasonably interesting peek — to NFL fans, anyway — behind the curtains at the wheeling, dealing and overthinking that goes on as teams, managers and coaches try to avoid looking as if they don't know what they're doing.
They are nagged into making hasty or ill-advised decisions by agents and the players they represent, and by showboating owners who like to "make a splash," get their faces on ESPN and impress the hometown folks with their football acumen.
The GMs have their own slang and swagger, making the movie a natural for Costner — considered for decades the go-to film actor for jock roles.
But, for the casual fan and the casual moviegoer, it can be a bit of a melodramatic bore. The ticking-clock thriller doesn't really get going until the teams are truly "on the clock."
Costner is Sonny Weaver Jr., general manager of the hapless Cleveland Browns. They have an antsy owner (Frank Langella) and a new, preening coach (Denis Leary), who likes to flash his Super Bowl ring under everybody's nose.
Will Sonny pick a cocky, pushy defensive back (Chadwick Boseman of 42) or trade up to land the Heisman Trophy winner (Josh Pence)?
What's fascinating in the wheeling-and-dealing early scenes is the way gossip gets started, the way the veteran managers play one another and read one another. Rumors about the Heisman winner bubble up to the surface.
Sports talk radio covers this sort of "How much does he want to play?" stuff from a speculative viewpoint. Draft Day sets out to show how the stock of a Johnny Manziel or Jadeveon Clowney rises and falls in the hours leading up to their big payday.
"You only get drafted once," Sonny tells his prospects. Better enjoy it.
Sonny gathers intelligence from his staff and steels himself to make a decision he knows the owner won't like. Then more gossip comes in, and he is on the fence, which gets the coach all worked up. Everybody is playing the angles against everybody else.
What doesn't work is the added melodrama in all this. Sonny's dad used to be the Browns' coach. His dad just died. His mom (Ellen Burstyn) won't get off his back. And his not-that-secret office romance (Jennifer Garner) just gave him some news.
Draft Day is an NFL- and ESPN-sanctioned dramedy designed to cash in on and maybe goose interest in the draft, which television and the league have turned into a spring spectacle. It doesn't have a lot of rough edges to it, nothing unflattering to the league or the cable company in its back pocket.
Costner and Garner are good, and Langella is properly menacing. But Leary has lost his fastball and seems to be holding something back in his quarrel scenes with Costner. Costner has to carry the film, which he does. But he has a hard time making this tale of accountants and agents and athletes with off-field issues exciting.
Filling the screen with character players ranging from Chi McBride (a rival owner) to assorted NFL Network and ESPN (past and present) stars, and shifting from city to city, stadium to stadium as the phone calls zip back and forth doesn't really ratchet up suspense or entertainment value.
But for the fans, it's a competent eye-opener, a movie that makes you understand Jets quarterback Geno Smith's fury at falling out of the first round and the sort of whispering campaigns that this closed culture of front-office folks mount to let them win in May, even if they don't win in the fall.

text: Sorry you had such a rough start. I have a fairly good idea what you are going through. My first nine weeks of breastfeeding were very painful (was in tears every feed), and I had mastitis twice during that time. After that I still got blocked ducts every now and then. The one thing I found helped was to keep feeding. That and a hot water bottle. As somebody said before, there are no 100% guarantees for this (or anything else in this world). Just go for it, and good luck to you!

3 firms bid to build Vikings stadium
Three construction firms are bidding to build the new Minnesota Vikings stadium, including one Minnesota company.
Mortenson Construction of Minneapolis, Hunt Construction of Arizona and Skanska of New York are angling to build the $975 million stadium in downtown Minneapolis. Bidding ended Monday.
The Minnesota Sports Facilities Authority will interview the three companies later this week. Chairwoman Michele Kelm-Helgen says the authority will weigh price, experience building sports venues and local participation.
Each of the three companies has built NFL stadiums. Mortenson was the general contractor for Target Field, TCF Bank Stadium, Target Center and the Xcel Energy Center.
The authority and the Vikings plan to pick and announce their construction firm in the first week of February. They hope to have the stadium ready for the 2016 NFL season.

April 14, 2011 —
While development in the Catskills is often controversial, a new report from the Open Space Institute (OSI) says there is room for substantial development in the region without causing negative impacts to the environment.
The report, called "Private Lands, Public Benefits," was discussed at a meeting of the Sullivan County Legislature on April 7. Alan Scott, president of the Sullivan County Partnership for Economic Development, said of the report, "What it specifically does is to identify 500,000 acres in the Catskills which could be developed without any negative impact on farmlands and other open space resources."
He said the report is a "great marketing tool" that can be used to try to attract development to the region and specifically Sullivan County.
The report covers Sullivan, Delaware, Ulster and Greene counties, and says that Sullivan has the greatest opportunity for "preferred growth." The study shows that, "A full 83% of Sullivan County's open space resources are in private ownership. The county also contains the greatest percentage (30%) of preferred growth area in the region, much of it concentrated in the center of the county, alongside existing infrastructure, like schools, roads, water and sewer services and emergency facilities."
A press release about the study quoted Sullivan County planning commissioner Luiz Aragon, who said, "OSI's study will serve as a blueprint as we consider how to direct sustainable growth in Sullivan County."
But the study also shows that the county and the region face substantial obstacles in maintaining sustainable development. For instance, the number of people in Sullivan County younger than 60 years of age is expected to decrease by eight percent between 2005 and 2035. The study says, "Population predictions indicate that the region will experience a steep loss of the workforce-aged population (–13%), putting a premium on job creation and retention."
On the other side of the population ledger, the number of people older than 60 in the county is expected to increase by 44%. The study says, "Developers currently anticipate that need for 'empty-nester' and affordable housing for the elderly will drive growth on the fringes of existing urban centers in Ulster and Sullivan counties."
The other significant driver of development in the future will likely continue to be the second home market. The study says, "Planners should consider that significant growth may occur as second home development, which tends to have a larger footprint and to be located near streams, lakes and views." But if managed carefully, this development can be "accommodated within preferred growth areas."

During Monday's meeting, County Judge David Bowman said the Keetch-Byram drought index was at 496 and the 14-day forecast doesn't predict it to diminish by July 4. A drought index of 500 or higher is considered high risk.
In other action Monday, commissioners unanimously approved a reduced speed limit of 35 mph on West Air Base Road.
The court also unanimously approved a rural transit grant application for federal and state funding through the Texas Department of Transportation and a lease agreement with the Golden Crescent Workforce development board.
Commissioners also unanimously approved a request for proposals for auditing firms for the 2013 fiscal year.

From Last to First! Meet John Ely
From Last to First. The Dodgers' win coupled with the San Diego loss took over first place in the National League West for the first time in 2010! . After losing to Colorado on May 8, the Dodgers were in last place, 6.0 games behind the Padres, and have gone 22-7 since!
Kuroda-san pitched his best game against Carpenter but Kuo got the win and Jonathan Broxton the save. Final score: Dodgers 1, Cardinals 0.
Last Saturday my friends and I went to see Ely at an assigned signing at the At&T store in Culver City. We found Ely to be personable and adorable. Here are some pictures:
All about Ely
Ely Signed my scorebook on a scoresheet where he pitched! He looked at it and said "This is Cool!" He was impressed with Lorena who asked him who his favorite pitchers were growing up. I took a picture of Lore and Ely with her camera. Then after my pic with Ely, we were asked if we wanted one with both of us in the picture.
Thank you Ely! Thank you At&T and thank you KABC for the tickets! We sat in the Reserved aisle 7 on Sunday, courtesy of KABC.
Tonight's game: Clayton Kershaw against Wainwright. This time I will be able to watch the whole game. Yesterday I was working with the Red Cross collecting pledges for the upcoming Annual Blood Drive for Saturday June 19.
This is an annual competition between the Angels and the Dodgers Booster Club. If you donate at this annual Blood drive, you get a voucher for your choice of team tickets, a commemorative t-shirt, a voucher for fish tacos from Wahoo, and a voucher for the Laugh Factory in Pasadena!
DONATE BLOOD! and GO DODGERS!

That's fantastic. Worst to first aint too bad either. I still feel as though Ely should be on Nickelodeon or something….So young looking.
I was going too say from Worst to First haha. Did you see my pics from the 70's night? Elymania Mike!
Congrats on first place, Emma! And Ely is adorable – totally movie star good looks.
Thanks Jane! Still in first place! Ely pitches on Saturday against the Angels. I can't wait but first I need to go to Anaheim for a mandatory session as I am volunteering for the Fan-Fesst.
He is a cutie :O) Great photos! And congrats on sweeping the Crards…nice.
He sure is cute Jenn! The view from the top is BEA-U-TI-FUL!
i'm glad you got to meet him! He seems like a nice enough person🙂
i can't wait until the dodgers and angels face off against each other this weekend! I can't go to any games but i'll be sure to watch from the tele🙂
I can't decide if he looks like a Busey or not. Just messin' with ya. He's a Chi-town kid. Gotta love that!
All the hype around the draft and yet a good rookie drafted by another team ends up in LA pitching pretty good.. bet ChiSox want him back now… great pics as always Emma….
Phillies Outside
Oh Mimi! too bad you can't come! You could use my tix for Sunday as I will be getting to the stadium at 10: AM to work with the Blood drive that is coming up June 19.
Ely sure is a Chi-Town kid. He will start one of the games in Boston!
What happened to that scout from Chi-Town that let him get away?
