There a loads of large abandoned cabins of wood and tin dotted around the bottom of the trail. The logging company let employees buy plots many years before the Park was set up in 1934. Once it became a Park the properties were purchased by the Govt but owners could then take out a life-time lease, the last of which expired in 1982. So there is this ghost town of cabins - it must have been wonderful for the owners and their kids in the summers of yore.
The climb was easy at first along an old logging dirt track followed by a trek along a small path up the mountain...actually it wasn't very interesting as there was no scenery to speak of. We met a retired guy and his middle aged son (who lives in Atlanta) and had a long chat - the retiree had spent many years in Germany.
MJ had been struggling with our PC satchel containing water and sandwiches (too much as it happens) and we got to eat our lunch about 3pm only 0.3miles from our car there having been nowhere to sit for a picnic along the trail. Typical!
We headed back into Gatlinburg but $10 parking and the fact we were knackered meant that our only stop was in a BW carpark to pick up an internet signal to book a hotel at our next stop in Asheville.
The cabin gave us the chance for a snooze followed by skinny-dipping in the hot tub (see- it's a good job it's in a remote location, not even any horses to scare). Another excellent home-made burger and more crap US TV in the evening which Dubya trying to tell us that life is now back to normal in Iraq thanks to his surge idea.

Detroit Film Theatre
Friday, February 22, 2013 – Sunday, February 24, 2013
Detroit Film Theatre
(Germany/2012—directed by Christian Petzold)
Set during the Cold War era of 1980, this tense and vibrantly intelligent new thriller from Germany's prolific Christian Petzold is the story of a physician (Nina Hoss of Jerichow) who is exiled from East Berlin to a small rural town as punishment for applying for an exit visa from the German Democratic Republic. Plotting in secret to flee to Denmark with her boyfriend, Barbara does her best to manage a professional – though icy – persona in the presence of her colleagues, while revealing the true depths of her deep and compassionate true self only to her patients. Totally absorbing and richly satisfying, Barbara is that rare work of suspense that pins us to the edge of our seats while at the same time revealing the human side of telling – and withholding – the truth. Best Director Prize, 2012 Berlin Film Festival. In German with English subtitles. (105 min.)
"A brilliantly incisive study of what becomes of human nature when totalitarian states weave suspicion into the fabric of everyday life." –Dimitri Eipides, Toronto Film Festival
"Astute and suspenseful." –A.O. Scott, The New York Times
"Barbara is one terrific film, as smart, thoughtful and emotionally involving as just about anything that's out there." -Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times

Recensioner för denna bostad
Very Nice stay at Samira's Place. We stayed fort two Days and everything went well, was nicely clean and could be used without Limitation. Very recommended.
The apartment is small but well kept and clean. Despite the hot weather, it is still cozy inside. The details are really nice and it is well located especially to reach two main train stations: Gare de Lyon and Gare Austerlitz. There is also a self-service laundry shop a few blocks away. Please take note that there is no lift (the apartment is located on floor number 3.) in the building. Samira was really nice responding to our questions where to go and find things in Paris. We would like to stay again if we´ll have another opportunity in visiting Paris.
We had a wonderful stay in Paris.
The apartment is perfect and very cozy.
Samira is sweet and very helpful.
We will gladly come back.
Flemming & Lene, Tobias (10) and William (7 )
Samira kept us well informed of any changes and supplied plenty of information to guide us around Paris. Samira was at the apartment to meet us on our arrival , a very nice ,friendly young lady. The apartment is situated in a secure and quiet building and is a 5 minute walk to all amenities shops,metro ,bus etc. We were able to tour Paris on foot from the apartment.
The apartment is small especially the kitchen but suited our purposes. Our daughter slept on the pull out bed and said it was very comfortable as was our bed in the separate bed-room even though the mattress is placed directly on the floor. The apartment was clean and comfortable with plenty of hot water for showering.
Due to the 3 flights of stairs to climb to reach the apartment and the fact that the main bed is low to the ground I would not recommend the apartment for people with mobility issues.
There were 3 of us staying at the apartment myself my wife and our teenage daughter and we found it just about right for us ,anymore and it would be a bit of a tight fit.
For visitors like us who just want somewhere to sleep and have a snack after a day's visiting the Latin quarter and other sights in Paris Samira's apartment would be a great choice .
The apartment is small but quaint and was great to stay in and added to tour experience of visiting Paris.
It was a pretty and self-contained one-bedroom apartment with a separate living room in a nice neighborhood. We enjoyed our stay very much.
Highly recommend!
Our stay was very nice and comfortable. The flat is small but there was everything there to make us feel at home. The location is perfect, there are supermarkets all around and in some 25 minutes walking you get to Notre Dame. Otherwise the metro station is just round the corner. We look forward to coming back to Paris.
This place is small though very cosy. In every corner you find books and this highly contributes to a warm and inspiring atmosphere. The place is very clean and Samira does her best to accomodate you as good as possible. Two metro stations are in the immediate neighborhoud, an excellent Italian restaurant as neighbour and short distance to quartier Mouffetier which is an extremely nice quarter.

I wish I were in a league where trades like that go through.
I offered Luck, Spiller and Torrey Smith for Thomas and Cameron and got it denied.
I then sent my K for McCoy, surprisingly, he said maybe LOL
seriously though, I need to join that league next year.


text: I agree with most of your points. I think if I rolled the sleeves up more, like they do in the fit pics it would solve that problem. And yea it could be taken in a tad as well. Its the right size, it just doesnt fit my body perfectly without tailoring really.

Desu named dean of the Watson School at Binghamton University
Seshu Desu, distinguished professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, will become the next dean of the Thomas J. Watson School of Engineering and Applied Science at Binghamton University.
Desu holds a BS in mathematics, physics and chemistry, and an MS in inorganic chemistry from Andhra University in Waltair, India; an M. Tech in materials science from Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Kanpur, India; and a PhD in materials science and engineering, with a minor in electrical engineering, from the University of Illinois, Urbana.
He headed his department at the University of Massachusetts from January 1999 to August 2006. Under his leadership, the department incorporated several educational innovations, increased its research expenditures from $3.5 million to $8.5 million, won the most-coveted National Science Foundation-funded Engineering Research Center (ERC) and secured two endowed professorships.
He has served as a professor, jointly appointed to the Department of Materials Science and Engineering and the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, at Virginia Tech., where he also directed the Center for Advanced Ceramic Materials and he has seven years of industrial experience as group leader at GE and a member of the technical staff at Bell Laboratories.
"I'm pleased that the Watson School will continue to grow and prosper under the leadership of someone with Dr. Desu's experience," said Binghamton University President Lois B. DeFleur. "His energy and enthusiasm, coupled with his desire to excel, will serve us well."
Desu will assume his new responsibilities this summer, filling the position vacated by Charles R. Westgate, who is retiring after six years as dean.

Gordon Goodwin's Big Phat Band
Goodwin won a Grammy Award for his instrumental arrangement of the track "Incredits" on the soundtrack of the 2004 film The Incredibles; the same year, he served as an orchestrator on the film National Treasure. The third album by the Big Phat Band, The Phat Pack, was released on June 13, 2006. Guests included Dianne Reeves and David Sanborn, and the album reached the Billboard jazz chart, selling more than 15,000 copies in its first two years of release, a substantial amount for a big-band jazz record. Later in the year, Goodwin combined his two major musical activities when the Big Phat Band performed the musical score for the animated holiday film Bah, Humduck! A Looney Tunes Christmas, also released on a soundtrack album. In 2007, Goodwin wrote the music for Dogs, the Musical and conducted the score for the film Snakes on a Plane. He also served as orchestrator and conductor on the 2008 film Get Smart. The fourth Big Phat Band album, Act Your Age, appeared on September 1, 2008, featuring guest stars including Chick Corea, Dave Grusin, Patti Austin, Nathan East, and Lee Ritenour (who produced the disc). ~ William Ruhlmann, Rovi

Slavic Soul Party!
All five of the band's members have jazz backgrounds; that is true of trombonist Curtis Hasselbring, cornetist Rossen Zahariev, and clarinetist Chris Speed as well as drummer Matt Moran and accordion player Ted Reichman. In fact, three of Slavic Soul Party!'s members -- Moran, Speed, and Reichman -- are also members of John Hollenback's Claudia Quartet. Speed, who is comfortable with both inside and outside improvisation, has worked as sideman for pianist Myra Melford and trumpeter Dave Douglas -- he has also done some recording as a leader. Reichman, meanwhile, has also worked in some of the more experimental jazz settings; his employers have ranged from Douglas to Uri Caine. A flexible jazzman, Moran has played with big-band veteran Lionel Hampton but has embraced more experimental jazz with pianist Paul Bley, bassist William Parker, arranger/band leader George Russell, and third stream icon Gunther Schuller. And while Hasselbring has been employed as a sideman by drummer Bobby Previte and trumpeter Tom Harrell, Zahariev has played with organist John Medeski (of Medeski, Martin & Wood fame), pianist Steve Kuhn, and singer Abbey Lincoln. Most of the band's members were born in the United States, but Zahariev is the exception -- he is a native of Bulgaria, where Balkan music has existed for centuries. After playing most of their gigs in Lower Manhattan, the members of Slavic Soul Party! decided to visit the part of the world that spawned Balkan music. In October 2000, the quintet toured Macedonia and taped some of their performances; that tour resulted in the live album In Makedonija, which Knitting Factory Records released in 2002. ~ Alex Henderson

RE: Choose Your Own Adventure Gamebooks
Posted on 23rd Dec 2009 at 09:50 by Joe Martin with 17 comments
For those not in the know, CYOA books are essentially multiple-choice driven singleplayer RPGs. You create a character according to the rules established in the start of the book, turn to the first passage, read it and then decide what you would do next. Each option available to you would point you to another passage in the book, creating a rudimentary branching adventure.
In the early '90s I remember them being all the rage and there were some long-lasting brands to come out of the short-lived fad, the most popular of which was the Fighting Fantasy series which included the likes of The Legend of Zagor and The Warlock of Firetop Mountain. My personal favourites however were the long-running Lone Wolf books by Joe Dever, - which had a single adventure running across multiple books - and the Fabled Lands series.

Facebook: Citi Outlines Five 'Levers' to $70 Share Price
Citigroup's Mark May today reiterates a Buy rating on shares of Facebook (FB), and a $57 price target, confronting concerns that arose Wednesday evening as a result of remarks made by management, and outlining what he argues is the stock's "path to $70" a share.
You'll recall that Wednesday, after the company's better-than-expected Q3 results, Facebook management held a conference call with analysts. That called included remarks about some slowing of engagement on the part of teenage users of Facebook, and also the company's disclosure it will hold off on increasing the "load" of advertisements in Facebook users' "newsfeed." That prompted a reversal in the shares after hours, which completely erased a 16% gain. But the next day, some bullish analysts came to the defense of the stock, and it rose modestly.
May outlines five things that he thinks are "levers" that help the company increase its revenue from the current level to several times that much, much the way Google (GOOG) increased its revenue from a similar level of $5 billion in 2005 to around $50 billion today.
May's estimate for the Facebook at the moment, excluding these levers, is $7.59 billion in revenue this year, and 79 cents per share in "core EPS," followed by $9.74 billion in 2014 and $1.02 per share. That compares to consensus for $7.6 billion and 81 cents, and $10.27 billion and $1.10, respectively.
May maps out the contribution of each of the potential levers in a diagram:
The primary lever he imagines is a higher prices, referred to as "eCPM," a derivative of ad-industry "cost per thousand" pricing jargon. He argues Facebook ad prices are "below industry averages," and just a small price increase would produce more than a billion in extra annual revenue. For instance, raising average price to $2.55 from $2.33 could produce almost a billion in extra revenue next year, he argues.
Here's May's table for a hypothetical contribution from price increase (click for larger image):
He then models as lever number two the deployment of advertisements on the Instagram photo-sharing service that Facebook bought:
For our U.S. model, we assume that users, on average, visit Instagram 20-30 times per month and view 15-20 posts per visit. We assume only a modest 2% fill rate in CY14 to account for a slow roll out as Instagram tests and optimizes advertising in the U.S. Our 2% fill rate roughly assumes that, by the end of CY14, Instagram's fill rate in the U.S. will reach approximately 50% of Facebook's U.S. fill rate today (we estimate Facebook's U.S. fill rate is in the mid-to-high single digits today). We also assume that 81% of ads in the U.S. will be filled with a standard ad unit while the 19% balance will be filled with video ads.
Number three is video ads, of which he writes,
Like on Instagram, we expect Facebook to introduce video ads into its desktop and mobile News Feed. This is particularly important as video CPMs often are 2-5x higher than standard display ads. In this analysis we estimate that the introduction of video ads on Facebook could result in $510mm, $744mm, and $1bn in revenue upside to CY14, CY15 and CY16 estimates, respectively.
Number four is eventually doing what Facebook has held off on doing for the moment, namely putting more ads in the newsfeed:
Today, just slightly more than one in 20 stories viewed on a Facebook user's newsfeed is an ad (i.e., a ~5% fill-rate or ad load). This rate is slightly higher in the U.S. and a few other developed markets and lower elsewhere. We believe it can go up a bit from here because 1) the company is not seeing pushback from the current ad load, 2) international ad load should reach parity with the U.S., and 3) other media channels tend to have 10-20% ad load. In our analysis, we assume only a 0.5% uplift to 6.0%, and this minor change would drive $617mm, $874mm and $1.1bn in revenue upside in CY14, CY15 and CY16, respectively.
And the fifth potential lever is an ad network that brokers ads across the Web, the way Google has done with AdSense:
Like Google with its AdSense and AdX businesses, we believe Facebook likewise has an opportunity to develop a highly competitive third-party ad network where it leverages its data and advertiser base to serve ads on third-party websites and mobile apps. Unlike the other potential upside drivers we discuss in this report, an ad network is not something Facebook management has explicitly discussed and it has a different margin structure and likely different ascribed multiple. That said, we've taken those and other factors into account and believe that a Facebook ad network could add an incremental $109mm, $263mm, and $417mm in revenue upside to current estimates.
Facebook stock today is down 45 cents, or 0.9%, at $49.75.

All of the grapes from the vineyards owned by the Latour family are vinified and aged in the attractive cuverie of Château Corton Grancey in Aloxe-Corton. The winery was the first purpose-built cuverie in France and remains the oldest still-functioning. A unique railway system with elevators allows the entire wine-making process to be achieved by the use of gravity. This eliminates the threat of oxidation from unnecessary pumping of the must. Since 1985, Louis Latour has been selling the wines of its own vineyards under the name Domaine Louis Latour.
Louis Latour has been a leader in the environmentally responsible winemaking for over 15 years. Louis Latour has had ISO 14001 accreditation for Environmental Management Systems since 2003 and has been a member of the European association FARRE since 1998- a group of like-minded companies who seek to develop and promote sustainable methods of agriculture.


text: I picked up this true but un-validated story on the web and had to pass it along ... A woman ran over an innerspring mattress on the highway & decided not to worry about it & kept on driving. It caught on the undercarriage of her Ford. The jumble finally whipped around enough to tear a hole in the fuel tank. She had it towed to her Ford dealership & complained that the vehicle had a 'sort of a noise' when she was driving at high speeds. Below are the photos of what they found at her Ford Dealership… - - - Updated - - - ... it actually remind me of when I saw someone run over a mattress about 2 years ago. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HU-4C5CA0S0

Local lad David "Eavesdrop" Wood's debut album is unlikely to give you pins and needles as its title suggests. It's lively, cruises along on a higher plane, and can also plumb the beautiful dark depths of drum 'n' bass, like on Golden Dawn, which ebbs in and out of heaviness with some dramatic jungle rumblings. And then there's This Jungle System, a snappy, break-neck slammer with piercing, angular beats, and watch out for Splash Out because its flailing fits are liable to lop your head off. The style of music that Eavesdrop (perhaps best known for his remix of Gotye and Kimbra's Somebody That I Used to Know from 2011) makes can be loosely described as liquid drum 'n' bass. But the magical thing about it is how it runs off, and seeps in all sorts of directions to create some of the most creative and uplifting local electronic music in a long time.
Pins & Needles takes a highly musical approach too, with the violin on Violin Blossom making it an exotic and enchanting beauty, and Eavesdrop's drive to write songs rather than simply fast beating music is clear.
And though perhaps not so obviously crossover chart material, he has a knack for writing catchy, inviting tunes (like first single Clear Water) while staying true to his beloved drum 'n' bass - which is a rare feat.
Stars: 4/5
Verdict: Creative drum 'n' bass for your head and feet

Once you DO get over the burn, its a delicious world of single malts, charred barred bourbons, and aged reserves that personally I have just began to enjoy
I was into it for awhile. I had a couple nice bottles that lasted me awhile. Laphroige 20, Glenlivet 15s and 20, Lagavulin 16. I bought Gold Label once....wasnt a fan, ended up being a waste of money on my part haha

Anna has a lovely, bright and charming home.
She is a considerate and kind person and she think of everything to make your stay as pleasant as possible (I mean, she even has a smart tv!). The house has everything you could need.
Much better than a hotel!
In 10 minuts you are in the parliament and in 5 you have a metrostation, so is very well connected!
We stayed for three days and we were so sad to leave because we really love it.
We are already planning our next trip to Budapest and definitely we will stay there!
If you go to Budapest we highly recommend Anna's house!
Thank you so much, Anna!
Anna tiene una casita preciosa en un barrio muy bien situado.
Es tan detallista que piensa en todo para que estés cómodo.
Nos dio mucha pena marcharnos, ya que estuvimos realmente cómodos en su casa. ¡Mucho mejor que en un hotel, y más barato!
Nosotros ya estamos planeando nuestro siguiente viaje a Budapest y sin lugar a dudas será en casa de Anna.
At fist Anna was very kind to receive us really late (around 23:00hs). She gave us in advantage information about the transport included timetable, this was great. The apartment is super well located, beautiful place to stay, the bed is comfortable, had everything that you can need to stay a few days. Thanks Anna!
We had a really nice time at Anna her apartment. It's exactly like the pictures!
We arrived late on friday, past 12 o'clock. Anna was waiting outside the apartment, which was really nice! she did a nice tour of the house and everything was ready for a great stay. it situated in a nice neighbourhood close to the river and margretsziget, there is a busstop close by and the Metro is on a 5min walk. Tram line 2 is even closer and it takes you straight into the heart of Budapest!
We enjoyed the stay very much and we only have one thing that we missed, but Anna proberly fixed it by now ;) (it was a shower curtain).
On our last day we could just leave the keys and have a late checkout (because there weren't new guest coming). We enjoyed a full day and left in the afternoon.
Anna we loved our stay at your apartment and how you handle things! So we would recommend you and your apartment!
Het appartement kwam helemaal overeen met de indruk die we via de website hadden gekregen; sfeervol, van alle gemakken voorzien, netjes, comfortabel. Winkels, horeca en openbaar vervoer op loopafstand.
Anna is zeer attent en behulpzaam geweest.
Mede hierdoor hebben we onbezorgd en ontspannen kunnen genieten van ons verblijf in Boedapest.
Wir haben den Aufenthalt sehr genossen ,die Wohnung war sehr schön und geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Wir haben uns wohlgefühlt. Danke für die schöne Zeit, Anna.
Bonjour (Yó napót !)
Première expérience via Wimdu et sincèrement, de vous à moi : extraordinaire !!!
Anna est une hôte formidable, très gentille, disponible, bref en un mot : remarquable ! L'appartement est pratique, avec un chouette petit balcon, bien décoré, avec des commerces juste à côté et surtout, situé dans un quartier résidentiel qui reste authentique (loin des touristes). La station de métro (ligne 3), le marché immense (fréquentation par des hongrois principalement), et l'île Marguerite à côté font de ce coin un lieu de vacances reposant.

we were discussing the vortex viper 2-7x 32 for the ar-15 set up the other day and it comes highly recommended by most shooters as a very high quality optic for it price.
the bad new was the scope was dropped by vortex a year or so ago and the supply of them dried up --@ $170 they sold out pretty quickly.
yesterday i may have got lucky SWFA had a new open box "B" viper BDC in their sample list for $159-- so i grabbed that puppy--LOL! if what i have been hearing about the vipers is true this was a hell of a deal--
we will see how it stacks up against the diamondback -- i suspect it shall do very well--


text: I know that last year, while other federations promptly started training their judges so they could use the new system that would be used at international competitions at nationals, the US chose not to, I'm not quite sure why. I always thought this was a big mistake on the part of the USFSA because when they have their two top skaters not doing the Grand Prix, they have no other way to test out their programs under CoP and work out the kinks with this system, and find out places where they could improve their levels and other little things to get those ever-valuable extra points. I haven't read anywhere yet that the US is or is not using the new system at nationals this year and was just wondering if anybody knew, and also wondered if you guys agreed that this affected particularly Michelle, and maybe even Sasha evn though she had had CoP experience at the previous GPs, since there were several rule changes between the two years. Also, I wondered why the US chose not to, when it was set in stone that it was going to be used in Worlds?

Here's my Surly Troll ready for the past weekend's jaunt in Wharton State Forest, NJ. The low was predicted to be 44 and a 0% chance of rain, so I was able to bring just a sleeping bag and a down jacket and a poncho, dispensing with all extra clothes except a hat, gloves and a pair of boxers for off the bike.
So the gear list - rear rack holds my North Face Cat's Meow 20 degree sleeping bag. This thing has served me well, despite its size and weight and that the 20 degrees is certainly a survival rating rather than comfort, as I'm a pretty cold sleeper...
Frame pack (Greg Wheelwright of Boulder made it) holds a water bladder plus food. The small side pocket has my tools and maps. This was the first overnighter with the pack and it handled very nicely!
The handlebar roll is a Revelate Sling/Pocket, containing my pot and stove (Backcountry.com titanium pot, MSR Pocket Rocket stove), down jacket, hammock (Grand Trunk UL Skeeter Beeter), poncho-tarp, and spare clothing. The pocket had room for mad Clif bars, a tree identification booklet, the contents of my pockets, a headlamp, and my camera once the Clif bars were partially eaten.
Then I had to carry my sleeping pad rolled up in a backpack since it's bulky and awkward. NBD, but I do want to invest in an underquilt both for convenience of packing and for comfort - I spent a lot of the night awake with the pad slipping out from under me, which tends to happen in hammocks.
For a longer trip, this particular setup would be rather strained. There's certainly a bit more room in the handlebar roll, but the frame bag was getting close to maxed out (though my packing-tetris skills do need some refining for sure) and in such a trip, I'd have to stash a lot more things in the backpack than I'd like to.
So the next things on my shopping list - top tube bags to hold more food, and fork-mount and downtube-mount bottle cages to beef up the water capacity. Then once I've got a more compact sleeping bag/top quilt, I'll add a saddlebag to replace the rear rack, which will add a bunch of space.
Still, for a mild fall overnighter, this setup worked admirably. The Troll rides nice too, even loaded over very sandy terrain...

15. New Orleans Saints (4)
2012 Run Block Rankings: 5, 17
2012 Pass Block Rankings: 12, 7
LT: Charles Brown*
LG: Ben Grubbs
C: Brian De La Puente
RG: Jahri Evans
RT: Zach Strief
Super Sub: OT Terron Armstead
Overview: The Saints believe in building their line from the inside out, stacking the interior with plus guard and center play and willing to field replacement-level talents at tackle. Grubbs, four-time All-Pro Evans, and UDFA steal De La Puente are the linchpins of New Orleans' trench unit. Strief is a former seventh-round pick out of Northwestern. Brown was a 2010 second-rounder but has been incredibly fragile in the NFL, battling back, hip, hamstring, and knee injuries over his first three seasons. He'll be pushed by raw but athletically freakish third-round rookie Armstead. While New Orleans' lack of left tackle clarity lowers its 2013 projection, this will likely be a quality O-Line. Drew Brees' lightning-quick decision making and delivery mask exterior protection flaws.
We keep Nicks and we are top 5!

Traumatic event.
The rapist, instead of being the boggy man, is a member of our community too. He is a product of our "outstanding" school district. Where did we fail this young man? Is too much emphasis placed on academic performance and entrance to an Ivy League school?
Did the school district prepare him for the world he just entered as an adult? He and his family needs our prayers as well.

You are right. It is our fault for providing him access to our good and competitive schools. If only we would eliminate AP courses and adjust to a lowest common denominator, this kid would not have attacked this girl.
Brilliant, Ann.

Yeah, I'm praying for the rapist. Praying he gets the maximum allowable punishment for what he has done so he can never again terrorize another woman. I have no sympathy for this monster and it is hard for me to believe anyone would.

Ann, I agree with you.
I was horrified when I discovered that the guy who supposedly did this was not what we expected, but a 20 year old (no more than a kid himself) and a Paly grad. It is dreadful to think that someone so recently in our schools is able to behave like this in such a short time after being one of our own.
Something, somewhere, failed for him. I know that he was not a lost cause from the start, as no one starts out this way, something has to start it off. What we continually call the achievement gap in our schools is failing some of our kids. For those who are not the stereotypical PA student, we have to make sure that they still get the grounding they need to turn into decent members of our society and not feel the failures that perhaps turn them into what this poor ex-student appears to have done.
I have no idea of his family background, but I do feel for them in all this. So many families work so hard to get their kids into PA schools thinking that it will be best for them. It is possible that they are suffering in a way that we can't imagine.
It goes without saying that my prayers and concern for the victim and her family are offered undoubtedly.

Parent and Ann,
This perp was an adult. No excuses, even Palo Alto excuses. If found guilty, he will go to the pen, not CYA.
Maybe he has bad genes. Maybe he has a bad background. Doesn't matter. He either did it or he did not. If he did it, it is 100% on him, not on our school system.
What a shame that the excuses are starting, similar to those who made excuses for the Columbine perps. There are no excuses.
Very sad that we are being targeted with this misplaced guilt. Shame on you.

What is interesting in this story is that no one is claiming he did notdo it.
In the SJMN interview with his parents even they talk about him as guilty.
The PAPD obviously feel they have compelling evidence--- is it
DNA--- OJ got out of that. I do not think I have ever seen a case where the verdict is unanimous from all sides so early.
I guess Jackson and Sharpton wont be coming to town after all awe shucks

I too feel somehow sorry for the perpetrator (and his family), even though the bulk of my sympathy goes to his poor victim. I read how he grew up moving from homeless shelters to apartments, with his family. A precarious lifestyle, apparently couple with learning disabilities.
However, I take issue with the suggestion that our school system failed him. I believe that it is naive to believe that ANY school system can be successful with 100% of its student population. There will always be individuals that even the best help and the most plentiful resources won't be enough to turn into independent, self-reliant, productive members of society. So, starting to blame PAUSD regarding the fate of Burpee is premature in my opinion.

I would ask all of you to put yourselves into his family's position right now. He has always been a good boy, loves his family, loved living in Palo Alto. How can you call him a monster, when he was never in any trouble before? He needs help, YES. Does he need everyone to desert him at a time like this? NO.
As a close family friend, I can tell everyone that this has come as much of a shock to us (his family and friends) as the incident did to the community.
We are all praying for the victim and her family. It was a horrendous thing that happened to them, and I'm sure he is beside himself with remorse over what has been done.
Again, imagine if it were YOUR son........ Never had any problems with him, he was a jock, popular in school, happy go lucky.... then you find out he allegedly did something like this. How would you feel? Would you want others tearing him apart like you all are doing to the suspect?
I would imagine not.
a resident of Barron Park
on Nov 4, 2007 at 6:27 am
A Concerned Friend,
Apparently he has not always "been a good boy", since if you read another thread here there were allegations he raped a Paly student some time ago. Given the recidivism of rapists in general, one wonders if there are other victims out there as well.
I don't care how bad someone's upbringing is, many people go thru the same thing without becoming violent predators.
If he's found guilty, and I assume there is DNA evidence all over the place, throw away the key if for no other reason than to protect future victms.

To a concerned friend,
I agree with you that we should all be respectful of the family. How many of you hold yourself responsible for your siblings or your parents actions? This is a horrendous crime and there is no way anyone wants to see this happen again. We should all try to learn from this. If a young person can fall into this behavior then we should try and find out why this happened. Those of you who are so righteous and so degrading in your comments should get away from your computers for awhile and spend some of your energy working with youth to find out how you can help to make things better for the world at large. If you do not have it in your heart to help others then at least go out and take a walk; you need some fresh air.

To A Concerned Friend,
I agree we as a community should not be pointing fingers at the alleged perpetrator's family, any more than at the schools. However, IF this particular young man is found legally guilty, IF he did it, then I'm sorry, it really doesn't matter at all if he's been in trouble before. Anyone who would attack, kidnap, sexually assault and try to kill a young woman IS a monster. Period. I'm going to wait for the courts to convict someone of this crime before I comment on them in particular, but in general, WHOEVER did this does not deserve defending. This is about choices, a choice to brutalize someone, not about what family or schools or whomever has done.
If the suspect's family is having a rough time, I'm not relishing it. I'm not attacking them. But I am spending my time feeling compassion and grief with the victim, who did nothing wrong.
I'm at a loss as to why people keep defending or excusing this attack (he's never been in trouble before, he's a happy kid, he loved Palo Alto, the schools must have failed him, etc)....not because I am convicting a particular person, but NONE of these excuses are acceptable no matter who did it.
Whomever did this CHOOSE to do it. Whomever did it, I hope he gets what he deserves, and excuses are not made on his behalf.
a resident of Another Palo Alto neighborhood
on Nov 4, 2007 at 11:02 am
I agree that the perpetrator of the crime has no excuses and should be punished.
I am more concerned that there may be others like him in our schools and we are not doing enough to prevent them from becoming monsters.
If this had happened eighteen months ago while he was still at school, there would be outcries about what our schools were not doing for him.
Instead, this guy presumably left our schools and then turned out to be someone for whom there is no distinction from right or wrong.
I hope that if there is someone in one of our high schools with the potential to doing the same, that they can be found and helped now so that there will not be another similar incident in eighteen months or whenever.
Prevention is always better than punishment. If someone knows someone who is in danger of turning out like this, make sure they get recognized and then get the help they need, before it gets to the stage where there are two (or more) people's lives destroyed forever.

I don't think too much academic pressure is the problem. I think academic neglect was perhaps part of the problem in his case. The young man did not pass the Armed Forces Aptitude test, so he could not fulfill his dream of being a soldier. According to some accounts, that let to a downward spiral.
Now, how can a Paly grad NOT pass a test like the Armed Forces Aptitude test? I've heard that it's a pretty easy test designed to enable the great majority of those who take test to pass (and most of the people who take the test are recent high school grads. It's certainly nothing like the SAT!
Hello, Paly administrators and teachers. Did you let someone slip pass who should not have graduated without basic skills?
I do not like the outpouring of sympathy for the vicious attacker. Sure, we can analyze to no end what went wrong in his life, but the fact remains that he committed a very serious crime against an innocent victim who will probably be scarred for life.
Also, please remember that there are lots of people who are dyslexic, who did not learn very much in school for whatever reason, who came from terrible background, etc. but managed to become decent human beings, so we have to acknowledge that there is a lot about human motivation that we do not understand.
What we have here is a vicious attack by someone on an innocent person. The attacker should be punished to the fullest extent and not be excused just because he went to Paly.

The great ruse of the modern psychology establisment is that they have answers for abnormal human behaviors. Time magazine once ran a cover story about that fallacy. As a society, we spend an enormous amount of our treasure on counselors and analysts, in our schools, legal system and personal lives. The standard answer we get from this snake oil establishment is that the perp is a victim of circumstances.
The healthiest thing we can do is to demand that we no longer sign contracts with counselor consortiums. As indivuals, we just need to grow up and accept our own responsibilities, without blaming others.

I am not saying that the incident should go unpunished. I feel heavily in my heart for the girl and her family. She did not ask for this, nor deserve it. They are in my prayers every day.
What I am saying is that it appears that something happened with this boy, something that caused him to act out so horrendously when it was not in his nature to do so before. And to Joe, from above.... Was he convicted or even arrested for this alleged rape on another Paly classmate? If not, then you have no right to even bring that up here. I've known the boy for a long time, and never have I known him to be cruel to anyone.
Again, I ask. If this were YOUR son, would you be looking at the situation any differently? This has been an eye opener for me, in that I realize how quickly I judged others in this situation, until it hit too close to my heart.
I suggest everyone do the same.
a resident of Barron Park
on Nov 4, 2007 at 6:09 pm
A Concerned Friend,
Apparently no one believe the original young woman and she was hounded out of Paly. We all know how difficult it is for a rape victim to be treated fairly.
Given that he has apparently committed the current crime, what would you say the odds are that the original victim just happened to make up her charges out of thin air before the current crime occurred? I'd say it's 100% likely he committed the previous crime, and perhaps others as well.
Throw away the key.
a resident of Palo Alto High School
on Nov 4, 2007 at 6:21 pm
A Concerned Friend:
I don't think we can say that we understand someone's "nature." It is very, very hard to understand people and to say definitively that "it was not in his nature to do so before" and therefore, we should not be too harsh in judging him
We have to judge a person by his actions and Burpee's actions were heinous. His parents are not responsible, Paly administrators/teachers are not responsible, his neighbors are not responsible, the Palo Alto community is not responsible. Burpee is responsible for his own actions. His actions were monstrous and therefore, calling him a "monster" is justified.
Also, I am very tired of hearing about excuses or reasons as to why he may have committed this monstrous act. We just don't know. Even psychologists/psychiatrists often don't know why people do what they do.
I would not keep on saying that "something caused him to do this." He has free will--he caused himself to do this, although he, like us, may never know what the exact causal factors were.
Whatever "caused" his actions does not excuse his actions in any way.
Please let us shift our attention away from the perpetrator and let us think about the victim more. She has just gone through an inexplicably vicious attack that could have killed her--an incomprehensible near death experience. She needs all the support that we can give. How do you think she and her parents feel when they hear ad infinitum about what a "good boy" her attacker was?

I agree with you, 100%. I am not saying that he should get more sympathy than the victim. I certainly don't want him in a situation to harm someone again, if he indeed was the perpetrator. However, I feel sorry for him as for his family. And I think that there are too many, way too many self-righteous people in this community.

It seems to me that there was a healthy venting of anger over the weekend about this matter.I have no doubt cooler heads will prevail moving forward.
This horrible assault traumatized the whole community,
we were all victims of that.
Victims have a right to express their anger paloaloonline provides a valuable and unique forum for the expression of that anger.
The staff do a good job of editing personal attacks and slander.
In terms of the family, they decided to provide interviews and the content of those interviews was, in fact, very sympathetic towards them, some people believe too sympathetic.
The identity of siblings was known instantly through the school grapevine no doubt and to anyone with google etc. in a second
We can now allow the courts and due process to proceed and see what we can learn and what we can do to deter such vicious crimes in this community moving forward.

I wholeheartedly disagree with Ann. I would press for the maximum punishment under the law. We cannot allow ourselves to believe that the community failed this individual. The opportunities that a present in this area are far greater than the vast majority of this country. If this individual grew up with these advantages and still perpetrated this crime, he is truly someone who cannot be helped. We should put people like this away without remorse. Perhaps, it is fortunate that he was apprehended at such a young age before more crimes could be committed. My sympathy goes out to only the victim, her family and this community.
a resident of Barron Park
on Nov 8, 2007 at 2:08 am
I agree with Eleanora...this was a deliberate and vicious act against a perceived vulnerable/helpless target....not just reckless/careless, not just picking a fight with someone your own size...this was sociopathic brutal cowardice.
If he did this, he should be put behind bars and the key thrown away. Give him therapy, if he needs it --but behind bars. He has shown he can hide a very dark side very very very well...I can think of nothing more scary than a charming sociopath....remember Ted Bundy -- apparently Ted had been accepted into Stanford. Good schooling can only do so much...
What the perpetrator needs is ---if we are truly sympathetic to him...is to prevent him from further viciously victimizing others which --assuming he still has the capacity to feel delayed empathy --he will regret and later hate himself for doing ...thus his movements must be forever restricted and tracked BEHIND BARS.
We shouldn't enjoy his "punishment", but we should not be naive regarding the menace he presents to the public and to himself.

I guess those calls for castration make sense now.

Wonderful: "Green jobs" czar Van Jones is a Truther
posted at 1:36 pm on September 3, 2009 by Allahpundit
In which Gateway Pundit does the Googling that Obama refuses to do. Although honestly, at this point I think Jones's hiring is best explained not as a breakdown in vetting but as a goof by Obama to see just how much crap the media will let him get away with. "Hey Rahm — bet you 20 bucks I can get a Truther communist appointed to an environmental oversight position."
Birthers at the town halls … and Truthers in the White House. Which has gotten more press coverage?
NEW YORK CITY, NY (Oct. 26, 2004) – An alliance of 100 prominent Americans and 40 family members of those killed on 9/11 today announced the release of the 911 Truth Statement, a call for immediate inquiry into evidence that suggests high-level government officials may have deliberately allowed the September 11th attacks to occur. The Statement supports an August 31st Zogby poll that found nearly 50% of New Yorkers believe the government had foreknowledge and "consciously failed to act," with 66% wanting a new 9/11 investigation.
Follow the link and you'll find Jones's signature the 46th at the bottom. And no, there's no chance that he was mistakenly added to the list. I've been trying to come up with a joke all morning about what sort of leftist lunatic might be next on O's hiring list, but I simply can't top "Truther communist." Congratulations, Barry: You're now parody-proof.
When the GOP eventually takes back Congress, one of its first acts should be a statute or even a constitutional amendment, if necessary to avoid separation-of-powers concerns, requiring "czars" to sit through the same Senate confirmation process that cabinet appointees are made to endure. Obama's exploited that loophole at least twice now, once to install Jones and the other to make this nut our new King of Science or whatever, and the most ethical Congress evah won't rouse itself to inquire. If the president can't be trusted not to appoint Truther filthbags then he'll simply have to be checked and balanced, right, Bush-hating Democrats? Exit question: Will Jones be gone before today's airing of "Glenn Beck"? If so, what does it say about Obama that evidently communists are fit to be czars but Truther communists are a bridge too far?

|Kenmore Laundry Center washer portion makes loud squeal sound

|My problem has just begun a few days ago on my Kenmore Laundry Center (Washer/Dryer Combo), during spin cycles it begins to squeal very loud after the cycle is near an end, sort of like a bearing that changes under stress and heat then starts squealing when the friction is too much. I don't know which bearing would be the culprit if at all. I can't find a schematic anywhere. I removed the front panel and checked if it was the belt but no way I just changed it a year ago, the sound comes from the tub assembly, belt is in very good shape. Machine squeals while the belt is moving and continues even after the belt stops moving. Any help would be appreciated. By the way when the bearing is replaced or whenever the tub seal is removed should I buy a new one or could I still use the old one?? Thanks.

|tub seal and bearing is a common failure for these- reach up(without machine running) and rub your finger on the area where the shaft enters the tub,if you can extract a black colored gookus on your finger,it's a sign tne tub seal has leaked. the water then infiltrates the bearing and causes binding during spin- these 2 peices must always be replaced together. both the tub seal and the tub bearing.

|Do you mean the large cylindrical bearing that is screwed into the tub at the bottom of the tub?? Is there only the one bearing in this setup? Thanks.

|Yes, that is the one he means. There are three real comman problem areas with these machines.
1) The main tub seal going out and take the bearing out.
2) The lower one-way clutch/bearing that lets the transmission only turn in one direction going out letting transmission turn freely in both directions, (complete transmission has to be replace or completely strip transmission down to replace lower transmission case).
3) The transmission itself locking up internally during agitate, (again, meaning replacing the transmission).
These machines, as far as I'm concerned are basic JUNK!!!!!

Fantasyland Update from the Contemporary Resort
Thursday, February 09, 2012 | Posted by Orlando Theme Park News | Edit Post
Good afternoon! Today we want to share with you a few photos of the work being done in the new Fantasyland area, taken from the top of the Contemporary Resort (which provides some very nice views of the park and of the surrounding areas!). Before starting, we would like to let you know that these photos were taken a few days ago, and this means that you may not see some of the newest thematic element that were installed in the area in the past two or three days (like the beautiful roofs of Price Eric's Castle):
First of all, we wanted to take a panoramic photo of the current look of the Bus Station located in front of the Magic Kingdom, since an important expansion project should start soon:
Now let's move to the Magic Kingdom itself:
The new Fantasyland area:
Beast's Castle:
Maurice's Cottage:
Belle's Village:
The Little Mermaid area:
The building just received some fantastic new themed elements. You can see a picture by clicking here (courtesy of our friends over at DisneyProjects.com).
Storybook Circus:
And now, here you are some more bonus pictures of the surroundings:
From the Bay Lake Tower you can even see an entirely different resort...
And that is all for now. See you later for even more updates.

CanadaCare sends baby to US for treatment
posted at 11:00 am on June 28, 2009 by Ed Morrissey
My friend Michael Stickings links to a story of bureaucratic outrages involving an acutely ill premature baby, but only focuses on one particular outrage while excusing the other. Because Canada does not have the capacity to deal with the demand for neo-natal intensive care for premature births, the single-payer system sent the critically ill child to the United States for treatment. Unfortunately, the parents do not have passports which are now required for crossing the border, and the US refuses to allow them into the country without them:
A critically-ill premature-born baby from Hamilton is all alone in a Buffalo, N.Y., hospital after she was turned away for treatment at local facility and transferred across the border without her parents, who don't have passports.
Ava Stinson was born Thursday at St. Joseph's Hospital, 14 weeks premature.
A provincewide search for an open neonatal intensive care unit bed came up empty, leaving no choice but to send the two pound, four ounce baby to Buffalo.
Her parents Natalie Paquette and Richard Stinson couldn't follow their child because as of June 1, a passport is required to cross the border into the United States.
They're having to approve medical procedures over the phone and are terrified something will happen to their baby before they get there.
Stinson has a criminal record, which makes matters worse for entry to the US. Obviously, though, this is not a planned diversion but a real medical crisis. Surely the US and Canada can agree to temporary measures that will allow the parents to cross the border, even if under embassy supervision and security, to join their child. As Michael notes, keeping them away from their child at this critical juncture is needlessly cruel.
But let's not place the onus on the US for the need to separate the parents in the first place. Michael attempts to dismiss the underlying problem:
I won't get into the relative merits of the American and Canadian health-care systems here. Suffice it to say that there obviously need to be more neo-natal intensive care unit beds up here. Thankfully — and this doesn't mean that the American system is better (after all, at least the couple and their baby are guaranteed care up here, thanks to our public system, even if it's not perfect) — there was an opening south of the border.
Well, it's impossible to look at this situation without seeing the relative merits of the American and Canadian systems. First, the child would have gotten care in the US, too, regardless of insurance status. People get emergency care regardless in this country. There is a difference between health insurance and access to care that some people elide for purposes of political argument. No one gets turned away from emergency care for lack of ability to pay.
But why wasn't there a NICU bed for the child in the entire nation of Canada? The government of Canada won't pay for more. They don't exist to expand supply to meet demand; their single-payer system exists to ration care as a cost-saving mechanism. In a free-market system, supply expands to meet demand, which is why Canada could subcontract out to a US hospital for capacity. Michael writes that paragraph as if it was mere luck that an NICU bed happened to be open in the US, but that's a function of the system, and not luck. These parents are separated from their child at the moment through the fault of Canada's government and not the US.
It's a good lesson for both Americans and Canadians as the administration and Congress attempt to push a systemic overhaul of the US health-care system that will cost trillions and push us towards the same kind of single-payer system that Canada has. When we handle our health-care system like Canada, where will Canadians send the next NICU case they can't handle? And where will America send ours?

Hi, Charlie.
I have a 19 with the RTF2 texture and fish gill slide serrations. Along with that, I also have 3rd gen 34 that has the regular 3rd-gen texture. These are my first and only handguns are were both purchased within the past 5 or so months, for what that's worth.
I ordered the 19 with the RTF2 after handling a 17 with the RTF2 and shooting a regular 3rd-gen 19. I really liked how grippy the RTF2 finish is and wanted that on a 19. When I actually picked up my 19 at the LGS, my wife went along and absolutely did not like grip texture. The woman who processed the purchase/background paperwork said that from what she'd seen, men tended to like the RTF2 while women universally detested it. For what that's worth.
To me, the RTF2 finish makes the gun stay put in my hands, whether shooting one- or two-handed. I don't find it uncomfortable even after shooting a few hundred rounds in a range visit. I have had several friends (all non Glock shooters) try both the 19 and the 34 and all of them have remarked on how solid the 19 feels in their hands compared to the 34.
I shot the 34 an IDPA introductory class in May. The range portion of the class was outdoors and it rained pretty heavily during portions of the shooting segment. The 34 itself performed well but I sure wish that it had the RTF2 texturing. The 34's texture is "acceptable" but it's not like the more aggressive purchase of the RTF2's texturing. Put another way, if the 34 had been available with RTF2, I would have bought that instead.
There are some drawbacks to the RTF2. I have a CHL and I do find that the RTF2 will grab onto shirts when moving from a seated to a standing position. I don't think it's that big deal and I've learned to simply give my shirt a slight straightening tug when I get out of a chair or car. I have read articles saying that some LEO's have reported that the RTF2 has worn holes in duty shirts.
Overall, it looks like Glock feels that the RTF2 was a bit too aggressive as the Gen4 guns have a less-aggressive polymid shape and density on their grips. But I do honestly prefer the RTF2 myself. And as an aside, not all of the RTF2 guns have the curved/fish-gill slide serrations - some do have the regular straight serrations.
I hope this info helps.

Life moves a little slower in Saluda, a town of about 600 people just 30 minutes south of Asheville. Sure, it boasts the steepest railroad line east of the Rockies, site of a few runaway railcars in the 1800s. And the bustling downtown, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, features a number of noteworthy art galleries, shops, and restaurants that draw visitors from around the country. But nestled amid the Blue Ridge Mountains, and humming with verdant orchards thanks to its mild year-round climate, Saluda exudes a country vibe that visitors can't help but embrace.

SB County Sups Decide Facilities Maintenance Initiative
Tuesday Board meeting will determine if proposal goes on June ballot.
SANTA BARBARA COUNTY, Calif. - Santa Barbara County Supervisors will decide the fate of a controversial initiative aimed at mandatory maintenance funding of county roads, parks, lands and buildings.
Supervisors can decide to tackle the problem themselves or let voters have a say in the June Primary election.
"It is an attempt to make my colleagues do their maintenance", says Santa Barbara County Fourth District Supervisor Peter Adam who is proposing the County Facilities Maintenance Initiative.
Adam says the measure aims to mandate the Board of Supervisors to secure annual funding of about $20 million to repair and maintain county roads, parks, buildings and lands.
"There is no tax in this measure", Supervisor Adam says, "this is simply telling the Board of Supervisors to do their maintenance with money we already give you."
"You can't let our assets decline any further". Adam adds, "you have to maintain the assets at or above their current condition."
Adam says the County has, for years, deferred spending money on maintenance creating an estimated $300 million dollar backlog and counting.
Included in that massive maintenance backlog are the buildings at the north County Betteravia Government Center.
Adam says most of the buildings in the Betteravia Government Center campus are more than 20 years old and have various maintenance needs including air ventilation improvements and roofing repairs.
Adam says his initiative does not declare where the money for annual maintenance will come from in the county budget but he supports selling county assets to fund the initiative.
County Supervisors will decide Tuesday at their regularly scheduled meeting in Santa Barbara whether to adopt the maintenance initiative as proposed or put it on the ballot in June at a cost of between $50,000-$130,000.

On May 21st 2014 the High Museum in Atlanta will open the doors to an amazing world of automotive design with their Dream Cars exhibit. But before that can happen each car has to be placed perfectly within the exhibit hall. On this day three cars arrived: the 1953 General Motors Firebird XP-21, the 1959 Cadillac Cyclone XP-74 and the 1951 General Motors Le Sabre XP-8. These three cars are on loan from the General Motors Heritage Center where they are kept in pristine condition. While the jet turbine powered Firebird was pushed into place, both the Cyclone and the Le Sabre gracefully motored from the transport truck to the freight elevator under their own power.
In all 17 concept cars and multiple works of automotive concept art will be on display from May 21 through September 7 of 2014. AutoTrader Classics will be bringing you a sneak peak of the full exhibit in a few short weeks so be sure to check back!

The Lawrence Taylor case is progressing, and as expected, each passing day upchucks new sordid details into the gossip-o-sphere.
To recount, the former New York Giants sackmaster was arrested last week for allegedly having sex with a teenage prostitute in a Montebello, New York, hotel room. The latest involves LT's defense, which reportedly is going to be an old standby — the timeless "I didn't statutorily rape that 16-year-old prostitute, I merely jacked off while she sat in the room and watched."
Two separate accounts of the incident have leaked out. One involved a friend of the reported victim, a stripper who apparently roomed with the girl. According to the New York Post, the friend told investigators that the purported victim came home and was bragging that she'd made "easy money" with Taylor because she "didn't even have to fuck him."
In a completely unsurprising development, a conflicting story came out in the Post's rival, the New York Daily News. In that one, the victim not only rebuffed the idea that she didn't have sex with Taylor, she released ugly new details. Taylor's condom, she said, "got stuck inside," adding that "he had to put his fingers inside me to get it out."
Police found a condom in Taylor's hotel room, but his lawyers are apparently going to argue that he didn't use it. That's a pretty gutsy defense, given that the linebacker's DNA would almost certainly be on any condom he used for any amount of time.
The whole story is really depressing. That he's resorting to conceding to a "masturbatory act" as his defense seems desperate and points to the fact that there is too much evidence for him to deny that he encountered the girl.
Taylor's back in court June 10, so more details to come.
Smoke one for the Gipper
New Notre Dame football coach Brian Kelly got an early taste of adversity this past week with his first player arrest, featuring backup tight end Mike Ragone.
Ragone was stopped for driving 83 in a 70-mph zone on a toll road not far from South Bend. According to police, when pulled over, he tried to hand a couple of baggies of a "leafy substance" to his girlfriend, so that she could stick them in her purse. Both were arrested for marijuana possession and both could get up to a year in jail.
Why do these guys always have their baggies of weed out when they get pulled over? Since when did getting high in the complete and utter safety of a dorm room become too unexciting?
Zero points for smoking weed, but five — no, let's make it six — points for being just flat-out stupid.
Friday night switch
Weird story out of Odessa, Texas: the famed Permian High School Panthers, best known for being the inspiration for Friday Night Lights, were the victims of a bizarre hoax. Guerdwich Montimere, a 22-year-old basketball player who in 2007 took a Fort Lauderdale, Florida, high-school team to the state semifinals, enrolled at Permian and posed as Jerry Joseph, a 16-year-old Haitian immigrant. "Joseph" then led Permian to 16 wins.
Permian has been stripped of all 16 wins and Montimere was arrested last Tuesday for failing to identify himself to a police officer, a misdemeanor. Montimere was outed when AAU coaches from Florida spotted him at a tournament in Arkansas.

Pirate is busy with moving to his new shop, consolidating builds, etc. No problem here to worry about!

Derived from the word cocooning, this word more accurately describes the act of retreating from the world and insulating yourself for a period of time due to feelings of being overwhelmed, crazy or unstable. It is most effectively used to reassure your friends that although your behavior might seem troubling or anti-social, you are still sane enough to have a sense of humor about it and will not be rocking in the fetal position.
"I've had a really crazy week so I think I'm just going to be coocooning this weekend."
"Don't call me this weekend, I'm coocooning."
