Yesterday afternoon I was invited to an early IMAX screening of The Hunger Games, which is TRULY one of the most talked about, most anticipated films of the year. As a HUGE fan of the books, I have been anxiously awaiting my chance to see this big screen film version in the hopes that the movie will be able to do justice the brilliant novel written by Suzanne Collins. While some changes to the original story had to be made for the film version, I am EXCEEDINGLY pleased to tell you all right now that the film version of The Hunger Games is an absolutely stunning live adaptation of the original book. I will do my best to keep my comments spoiler-free but you can read my full movie review below.
Without question, the reason that The Hunger Games is a worldwide phenomenon is because author Suzanne Collins created a vivid, poignant, intense story that is aimed at "young readers" but resonates with both young and older readers. I was so taken with Collins's Hunger Games novels that I could see the action as it took place in my mind's eye. The trick with a film version of the book is how well the director and actors can approximate all of the wonderful images the reader was able to conjure up in their imagination. I am very confident in telling you now that this film version of The Hunger Games just gets it SO right. The cast is absolutely stunning in this film. The 3 young lead actors — Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson and Liam Hemsworth (to an extent) — truly became the characters. But I have to say, Elizabeth Banks's performance as Effie Trinket was often the scene stealer. Donald Sutherland's President Snow, Wes Bentley's Seneca Crane and Lenny Kravitz's Cinna were all very strong characters … of course, they could not be fleshed out properly in a 2 1/2 hour movie but they are an excellent approximation of their rich book incarnations. As always, there have to be changes in film versions of books but I promise, none of the changes at all affect the overall enjoyment of the story. I was very impressed with the direction of the film. For the first half, action takes place prior to the actual Hunger Games … the stark desolation of District 12 is so … palpable, you can almost hear a pin drop in some of the scenes with long silences (only Effie's excited and spirited voice can break the awkward silence). I noticed that there is not a lot of (if any) background music used in the first half, pre-Hunger Games portion of the film. The lack of music really added to feeling of solace and emptiness that is conveyed by a desperate setting like District 12. For me, the movie felt like 2 halves … pre-Games and during-Games. I can't even tell you which part I liked most. Yes, the action and suspense of the action that takes place during the Games is gripping … but the emotional pounding we get before the Games is just … wow … also intense. I'm not going to lie, I felt pangs of heartbreak in my chest in various parts of the film … and I may have teared up a few times (I'm not even sure who made me cry more, Prim or Rue). That's a good film, y'all … one that can make you FEEL something physically. I generally am not impressed with film adaptations of books but I was HUGELY impressed with this one. The spirit of the book is alive and very well in this film. Yes, we get a condensed version of all of the action that takes place in the book but the 2 1/2 hours of screentime is used very, very well. There is NO HINT of what's to come at all in the forthcoming sequel films … which is good for those of you who have not read the books, I think. I am really anxious to see this film again. David and I will be going on Friday night. He has never read the books so I'm curious to see how he responds to the film not knowing anything about the overall plot of the story.
Trust me on this, Hunger Games fans, this movie will satisfy you. I felt it … I felt the power of the books as I watched this film. I suspect The Hunger Games will make a lot of fans very, very happy.0

Woohoo Gold & Silver for the Canadian Sisters in Ladies' Moguls <3
Yeah Rhi, the sad thing is the American Couple is very talented. They shouldn't need corrupt judging. The American/Canadian dance team are both wonderful skaters.
LoL this Team Event can get confusing. I'm surprised they can swap skaters. We still have the Men, Ladies and Ice Dance Free Skate, but I think Russia is safe for Gold and Canada is has Silver pretty much wrapped up. It's going to be a battle for Bronze between the US, Italy & Japan.

Gardz for wallpaper glue/paste
Hello everyone,
We removed stubborn wallpaper (2 layers) from the hallway walls, but some of the glue was stuck on and would not come off no matter what method we tried (dif solution, vinegar, hot water, etc.). I contacted Zinsser about their Gardz product and they advised 2 layers of Gardz, skimcoat, then prime/paint.
I just wanted to know if anyone has any experience with this product..Should we apply another layer of Gardz over the skimcoat of drywall compound, or should we just prime and then paint right over the drywall compound? I contacted Zinsser about this, but still waiting on their response. We are using a water-based primer and paint if that matters (AFM Safecoat).
yes, Gardz is the primer.

Group delivers Christmas presents to kids in need
GREENVILLE - Pitt County Sheriff's Office and Greenville Fire and Rescue teamed up to deliver Christmas presents to children in need.
Sheriff Neil Elks said it's part of a program they do every year with Pitt County Schools, The Department of Social Services and The Salvation Army. Families sign up to be a part of the program and they are selected based on their need.
"It's very exciting for us. We always often times see bad things in our community. This is a chance for us to participate in a good thing. We love serving back in our community. We love being able to give back," Sheriff Elks said.
Janoy Aroche, 8, got a brand new bike.
"I'm happy because Santa brought us some presents and I'm very happy because my friend is here," he said.
Greenville Fire and Rescue acting Battalion Chief Milton Carney said it's always heartwarming to see the children get their presents.
"It's great. It gives me the impression that is his first bicycle and it's something that he'll never forget and cherish for the rest of his life," Carney said.
Janoy's mom, Josefina, couldn't contain her excitement.
"I very happy for Christmas for my presents for my little boys," she said.
The group also brought games for 10-year-old Ricardo Gonzalez and 6-year-old Selena Garcia.
"The most I'm looking forward to have joy from every body and a happy family...And I hope you have a very Merry Christmas," Gonzalez said.
So far this holiday season, the group has given Christmas to more than 900 families. Most of the toys were donated. Some people also gave cash and someone would go out and purchase the gifts.

Last night we were treated to two full hours of Abby Lee Miller and Lifetime's Dance Moms. Not only were social issues tackled, Melissa found a very blinged out wedding dress and Abby went on a date with a former stripper. Good times, y'all!
The girls are back in the studio, and Kelly is wearing her finest bondage attire. Abby isn't thrilled with all of the second place finishes, but she's much calmer than normal. She says that everyone needs to be knocked down a few pegs…even Maddie. Abby isn't going to yell this week, she just feels that clearly the girls don't want to be winners. It is what it is. Passive aggressive Abby is almost worse than screaming Abby! MacKenzie is at the bottom of the pyramid for allowing eleven looming points to come between her and the dancer who placed in front of her. Nia is next, with Abby content on blaming the fact that Nia was sick…and therefore sloppy. An also sloppy Paige finishes out the bottom. Maddie is on the second tier for bobbling, and the poor girl fights back the tears. Kendall is one above Maddie thanks to Jill's cut throat tactics. Holly is quick to say that she'd rather have her daughter low on the pyramid than utilize Jill's dirty tricks. Brooke is on the top, and while Kelly is thrilled, Abby reminds her that she has a target on her back. A timid Chloe raises her hand to ask about her placement. Abby explains that Chloe is still suspended, and she hopes that Chloe will realize that her mother is her biggest enemy when it comes to dance. Good times!
The group dance is called "Don't Ask, Just Tell" and is based on the policy of gays in the military. That's some pretty heavy subject matter, right? Brooke, Kendall, and Maddie get solos. Abby dismisses the girls and calls the moms onto the dance floor. She decides to yell at them for wanting a sweet dance teacher instead of someone who creates winners. The mothers then give their daughters a pep talk in the hallway. Abby enlists the girls into a boot camp. She wants blood, sweat, and tears…literally!
In the viewing room, Melissa admits that she's been looking for honeymoon destinations. Christi notices that her friend is wearing a wedding band. Melissa dodges questions as to whether she's already married, and the women joke about times in the past that they've tried to help Melissa plan her wedding. Why bother…they aren't invited! The moms are confused as to why Abby chose this theme for the group dance. Christi thinks this is Abby's way of showing support for the gay community. Holly vocalizes that she doesn't find it fair that Jill was praised for her sneaky ways. The other moms tend to agree with Holly, and Jill makes loads of excuses for her behavior. She's no longer going to hide the fact she'll do whatever to get her daughter to the top.

We got our puppy Ruger from a Humane Society on Dec. 21. My boyfriend and I don't know if he is pure bred or not though. He is extremely smart and definitely has some of the same characteristics but we wanted to get other opinions. The Huamne Society didn't have any other breed listed but they have no way of knowing. From what they said he was an owner give-up. His birthday was Oct. 5, 2013.

Very cute! He looks pretty purebred to me. You'll definitely be able to tell as he gets older, but theres no way to be 100% sure.

How To Succeed With CRM: The Critical Success Factors, Part 3
Posted by William Band on September 17, 2013
To succeed in the age of the customer, IT leaders that that support "front-office" business processes cannot afford failed technology initiatives. In recent blog posts, I have been sharing the results of a recent Forrester survey of practioners to define and quantify the best practices for CRM success.
Working in partnership with CustomerThink, Forrester collected opinions from over 600 individuals who had been involved in a CRM technology project as a business professional in sales, marketing, customer service, or IT.
A few weeks ago, I reported that our data show that CRM technology deployments require a balanced and multifaceted approach that addresses four critical fundamentals: process, people, strategy, and technology.
More than two-fifths (42%) stated that their problems with CRM were the result of "people" issues such as slow user adoption, inadequate attention paid to change management and training, and difficulties in aligning the organizational culture with new ways of working. These can become key roadblocks to the effective use of CRM technology solutions to achieve better business outcomes.
More the specifically, the top people challenges to implementing a CRM solution include cultural resistance to adopting new ways of working (45%), difficulties in achieving user adoption (44%), insufficient planning and attention given to change management (42%), and inadequate leadership (38%).
What does this mean for you?
- Use continuous improvement to soften culture shock. Successful CRM requires that an organization learn and accept new business processes and supporting technologies, which is never easy. As a manager of IT quality at a public sector company put it, "Our greatest difficulty was changing the culture of our users." Use quick wins to gain support for the new CRM system and continuous improvement to keep interest high.
- Overcome adoption issues by letting users influence functionality. New CRM processes and technologies that do not have a clear benefit for users and that are not properly socialized will not be adopted. A CRM architect at a media, entertainment, and leisure firm told us that "end user adoption is always difficult, especially with our sales team." Enterprises should ensure that users have opportunities to influence application functionality and enhancements.
- Plan carefully to facilitate changes in management and employee behaviors. The tone for a customer-centric culture, and the need to adopt new processes and tools to serve customers more effectively, is set by the top executives of an organization. Employees look at the behaviors of the senior leadership team to determine which activities are valued and which aren't. As the CRM manager of a business services company told us, "Our greatest problem was lack of buy-in from management."
Traditionally, IT organizations have existed to support internal operations but in today's world, the technology leaders must play a key role when it comes to delivering solutions that support better external customer experiences. With business partners in need of help, it's up to technology leaders to help identify and deliver solutions that will give their companies a competitive edge.
We will explore these topics on October 17 and 18 at the Forrester Forum for Application Development & Delivery Professionals. The Forum will showcase the top technologies, skills and practices you will need to take a leadership role in the development of world-class customer experiences at your company.
CRM success factors and requirements
Comment from Dick Wooden (not verified) on Mon, 09/23/2013 - 09:14
Thank you William for sharing the survey results which point out the critical importance of 'change' when implementing a successful CRM strategy. Executive leadership, user involvement to influence functionality, review and changing of business processes and culture play critical roles in executing a successful CRM system to accomplish a CRM business strategy.
To help educate our CRM clients, I refer them to our 18 requirements for business success with CRM: http://www.successwithcrm.com/18-requirements-for-business-success-with-...

We have shown you snow works before on the site, but these in particular, by Sonja Hinrichsen, are impressive in that the artist uses snowshoes to create these elabroate patterns in the snow. One of the most impressive things about this? There is a ton of patterns and connecting shapes here, meaning Hinrichsen is taken hours upons hours to create and then document the work.March 16, 2012

Me and my brother asked our mother alot of time about our grandparents. Our mother told us some details about her parents, but not much. IT is difficult topic for her, because her parents died during WWII. Our family last name is Potichelli. Everybody believes that is roots are coming from Italy. When i grow up, definitely will find out everything about our surname. Maybe i will find out about some family treasure in Italy.

American experts identified the remains of two American servicemen who went missing in action during World War 2 (1939-1945) during a preliminary examination in Ho Chi Minh City on June 17.
If the findings prove accurate, this will be the first time the remains of US soldiers who went missing in action during WWII have been recovered in Vietnam.

You can buy Sealing Wax on Ebay and yes if the Barrels are Food Grade they are safe ... The place that sells them has both food safe and non food safe types... The Food Safe one have only had Food and Water in them in the past... The Non Food safe had farm chemicals in them and are a bit cheaper... They are fine for storing Canned Goods and Sealed items or Supplies ... But you always should rinse them a couple of times before use... The same place also have Large 400 Gal Plastic Tanks for a 100 bucks that are in a steel cage... Great for Water Storage... I have one on the Porch...<quoted text>. Is the plastic barrels safe what was stored in them, also what kind of wax do u sill the barrels with, where do u purchase wax. I think u so much because I worry about my children, who can I get to clean out my grandmothers well , which is on the old home place. I also need well buckets etc. what advice on garden seeds and how to store for many years. Would water be safe to drink in Corbin barrels and how much do the cost. People need to wake up for their kids sake if they do not care about themselves. Covers and warm clothing is a need for sure

Call around there are Several Well Drillers around the area but you might find it cheaper to drill a well than to Fix an old one because if it's not been used it will have to have a new valve at the bottom and you could have a lot of rust in the pipes... Do a Net Search for Well Drillers and just give one a call and explain what you have and what you want...
As for Seeds... Only By "Heritage" Seeds... Never, Never buy "Hybrid" seeds.... Hybrid Seeds are genetically made to only grow one crop.. The seeds from hybrids plants you grow will not germinate... But you can save the seeds from any crops of heritage seeds and plant them next grow... Most seeds have to be replenished about every 1 1/2 to 2 years for them to be viable... But seeds even many years old will have a few that will germinate... I have planted seeds that were 5 years old that had about a 10% germination rate...
Now just to make mention.. I Suggest a supply of Marijuana seeds ... I know they are illegal and it has nothing to do with the getting high part... But the plant in a survival situation can produce oil, fiber, and medicines that could make the difference of life and death in a survival situation... It has been a Prime survival crop for humans for 10,000 years... You can braid Ropes, snare lines, Tubes from the hollow stalks, and unless you heat it above 220deg you can eat it as a food supply and it will not get you high... Marijuana only becomes an intoxicant once it's heated above the boiling point...

Quickly and effectively is the best way to kill people. The morons claim that guns kill people, so why not blame bicycles and cars? No one is taking responsibility so you have to blame something. Alcohol kills more people in a month than all the assault weapons combined for 50 years. I'm talking about civilians in this country, not military or foreign countrys.
#87 Jan 31, 2013
That's a good point you made about alcohol. when people started killing other people because they were driving drunk they made it illegal to drive while intoxicated. It is still illegal to buy and sell alcohol in Barbourville. The people evidently think its to dangerous. Like I said, it's not about how people kill themselves it's about how easy it is to kill others with a gun.. No one went into a school and killed 20 children with a bike. No one went into a movie theater and killed a lot of people with a car. When someone wants to massacre a lot of people they use guns most of the time...

a bus driver was killed and a child taken, what could have happened if that bus driver had a gun to maybe protect him and the child, what if someone at that school u mentioned had a gun, maybe less children would have died. We do not want the guns for mass killings and pleasure, but to protect ourself. Those pleasure killers will get their guns somewhere no mater what the law is..

OK, have you heard the latest? The government knows the ban just won't fly without a war with citizens, so they are planning a Liability Tax on all registered gun owners. They will tax guns out of range like they did cigarettes. Check it out.

Last night, the Thermals and Screaming Females played a midweek pick-me-up show to a packed Bowery Ballroom. The two bands joined garage rock forces along with Philly-based trio Hopalong, for a ceaseless barrage of shredding, pounding and general musical debauchery.
The Thermals were touring in support of their April release, Desperate Ground. You can catch the Thermals' Hutch Harris getting intimate with the crowd and Screamales' Marissa Paternoster getting intimate with the stage floor, below.

Who was the officer who did the killing? Is he (at least) on administrative leave pending investigation?
Most importantly, what do this incident and others involving BART police tell us about the adequacy of BART police training?

Hey, you. Yeah, the unkempt, sweaty dude with the pickled pig knuckle in your grip. We know you originally ripped out this newspaper page to wipe the grease from your chin, because you certainly dont read us, but the name Reverend Bob Levy flipped an electrical impulse and you fist-pumped, spraying swine sediment all over the front of your threadbare Killers of Comedy T-shirt. And, yes, you also managed to string together the letters that form Yucko the Clown. Congratulations, genius.
The Reverend, presently working Howard Sterns roll call, innocently mispronounces and misspells words, generating mirth aplenty over the Sirius satellite net, while his standup routine, complete with trademark black-leather jacket, encompasses insightful gems sprinkled throughout with, Go fuck yourself!

Food for the 'Fest
For Oktoberfest Fun, You Need Something to Go with the Beer
When most people think Oktoberfest, they think beer. Big frosty mugs and genuine German beer…dark and flavorful. None of that watery 'light' stuff for this affair, right?
But, of course, there's a lot more to the 'Fest than that. There's food! After all, you can't drink all that brew on an empty stomach. Yet, again, when you think of Oktoberfest, you probably think of sausages…bratwurst, kielbasa, knockwurst and the like.
Indeed, if you're having guests over for an Oktoberfest bash, you may want to include something that comes in links, but we suggest you paint your party with a broader brush.
Roast chicken is one of the most popular meats served at the Munich celebration, home of the first Oktoberfest in 1810, and those big, soft and salty pretzels partner beautifully with a frosty cold brew. You may wish to include those items in your spread.
We have several schmackhaft (tasty) recipes we'd like you to consider for your Oktoberfestivities.
Our Octoberfest Submarine is one hearty, awesome sandwich—an ideal mate for a stout Deutschland brew.
You won't go wrong with this Classic German Potato Salad recipe. It's one of our all-time favorites.
Or how about saucy Applewood Smokehouse Sandwiches with Cider BBQ Sauce? That'll keep the beer flowing.
We haven't forgotten dessert, either. This Black Forest Trifle stands tall for an impressive appearance. It offers an indulgently sweet flavor that will have your guests saying 'Ach der lieber!' and asking for seconds.
Now all that's left is to get out your best beer steins and maybe some little German flags. Put on your lederhosen and yodeler hat, and crank up the polka music. Cue the bubble machine. Ah-one and ah-two…

Pictures, Captions, Practices: Time for an Update
Update: This post was composed and saved on Wednesday the 3rd, but edited and posted on Thursday the 4th. So I edited the copy to say "yesterday." But the software records the post on the day it's saved, not posted. Hence the apparent confusion about what day it is.
Yesterday's New York Times featured a quartet of portraits of Mario Cuomo (viewable here), each designed to suggest an art historical vision of the former governor of New York: images "in the manner of" Warhol, Picasso, Mondrian, and R. Crumb. Thomas Fuchs produced the set, which run above the fold on page one. A rare event indeed: illustration on the most high profile broadsheet space in the nation!
Alas, I will confess that from my perspective the conceit is a tiresome one. I thought the same thing when I saw the final credit sequence to [the otherwise fabulous] Wall-E, which used art history as a time-marking device of visualization. Arguably an even more annoying statement, because it mimics the progressive, even teleological conception of the Western art historical narrative that's built into most surveys. Sigh.
But here's the thing: my beef is with the copy conventions displayed by the Times in the caption for the piece. Thomas Fuchs is an accomplished illustrator with quite a broad range, including but not limited to celebrity portraits. Stylish, smart, acute.
But the caption reads as follows:
"Mario M. Cuomo shows no interest in posing, but one illustrator visualized him as if depicted by, clockwise from top left, Warhol, Picasso, Mondrian, and R. Crumb." Italics mine.
The all-cap agate credit line at the lower right of the image set, and above the caption reads: ILLUSTRATIONS BY THOMAS FUCHS
Now imagine that the creator in question was a novelist (say Toni Morrison) composer (say Philip Glass) actor (you get the idea) or poet. Would the caption writer blow by the credit for Toni Morrison by saying, below a representation of her work, "one novelist"? Of course not! The agate line only makes it more irritating, because it's like a service entrance for the illustrator.
Why not write, ""Mario M. Cuomo shows no interest in posing, but illustrator Thomas Fuchs visualized him as if depicted by..." etc. Because the illustrator is an anonymous cultural worker, as opposed to the critically-engaged individualized hero, l'artiste.
I'll write more about what these practices reveal about cultural taxonomies and values some other time. But I did not want to let it pass without comment.
Was anybody else bothered by this?

Great pick up DB. There is a funny conversation about "one illustrator" over at drawger.com about this. How can so many educated people have no idea what to do with an entire field of creatives? Its so funny in a way, the blatant awkwardness of how the language.
As to the nature of the drawing, I've never seen anything like this on the front page of the NYT... After spending three years working there, I know the managing editors would never put anything 'editorial' and not 'journalistic' above the fold. Truly, I have no idea how this happened.

We talked a little about the illustration at lunch in the studio a couple days back...probably because it was so prominently featured. I didn't catch the caption, but yes, and odd choice indeed.
Of the bunch, the Mondrian was the least successful, I thought.

I think the Mondrian was the internal punch-line, like, "see how lame the concept the art director wanted me to execute turned out to be "

(Photo by Jonathan Daniel/Getty Images)
Lord Stanley's Cup has been making the rounds over the last few weeks with the Stanley Cup champion Chicago Blackhawks. Monday night it was head coach Joel Quenneville's turn with the most awesome trophy in sports, and he seemed to have a pretty good time with it. Quenneville toted the Cup around Chicago for the day before ending the day with a boat party on Lake Michigan. Coach Q gave some old friends the chance to meet the cup as well. In attendance at the boat party were former Hartford Whalers players Ron Francis and Kevin Dineen. Quenneville played seven season in Hartford, but the team never won the Stanley Cup as the Whalers. The franchise celebrated its first Cup win in 2006 as the Carolina Hurricanes. Check out Coach Q and his former teammates celebrating in front of the Chicago skyline in the photo below.

Dear Alicia,
This is in response to your request for favorite recipes for the holidays. This is a recipe from Judy Walker of the Times-Picayune printed several years ago. It has become a favorite of our family. According to Judy, Coconut Joys were a winning recipe in a Chicago Tribune recipe contest. They are fast and easy but, oh so good.
I have enjoyed reading your column in the Birmingham News. Unfortunately, it appears they have discontinued printing your column since going to three day a week delivery. Thankfully, I can read you online.

No contest plea entered for man who hit and killed CSU student
OROVILLE, Calif. - A young man accused of hitting and killing a Chico State nursing student while driving under the influence entered a no contest plea Wednesday.
20-year-old Riley Hoover entered a no contest plea to a count of DUI causing injury with an enhancement of causing great bodily injury and a count of felony hit and run. The plea was entered in exchange for the prosecution agreeing to dismiss counts of transporting marijuana for sale, manufacturing concentrated cannabis and money laundering.
The defense offered the deal to the prosecution last week to drop the drug charges in exchange for Hoover admitting to leaving the scene. The Chesterman family was informed of that offer last Friday.
"Dave suspected it was some kind of plea offer that the defense was putting out there," said Sandra Chesterman, Kristina's mother.
At first they were hesitant but as the district attorney's office explained Hoover will recieve the max punishment of seven years in state prison.
"There needs to be stronger sentences," said David Chesterman, Kristina's father. "It's really shameful that we let people off so easy when it's an avoidable crime."
The silver lining the Chesterman's said is now they do not have to hear or see the gruesome details about their daughter's death during a trial, and they can focus on how she has saved dozens of people's live by being an organ donor.
"I have hundreds and hundreds of messages that I haven't been able to respond to," said Sandra.
"You know we have to spend the rest of our lives without her and the rest of her family has to deal with that. You know he can go to prison and then go on with his life," said David.
Hoover will be required to serve at least 85 percent of the seven-year sentence.
Hoover was accused of hitting and killing Kristina Chesterman while he had a .33 blood alcohol level behind the wheel of an SUV in September of 2013.
The Chestermans will have their day in court on September 5 when Hoover will be sentenced.

Louisville Slugger TPX Omaha Flare Series: OFL1125
Average Customer Review
Excellent value for money--top quality leather all around. Very user friendly pattern, deep pocket and tight web. The glove has a very small had stall which should suit a smaller big field player or advanced little leaguer. Consider this glove for a 10+ year old. If the "flair" design is not to your taste, it could esily be worked into a conventional shape.
The laces are a little bit dry but should improve with regular oiling. Like many quality gloves, it will take some time to get game ready.

Absolutely. The Louisville OFL1125 would be a great glove for you to use.
Will this be good for an 11 year old?

Dredging material from the Calcasieu Ship Channel will be given to Axiall for wetlands restoration. (Special to the American Press)
Last Modified: Thursday, July 10, 2014 2:28 PM
By Frank DiCesare / American Press
Representatives from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers met with residents in south Lake Charles on Wednesday to discuss their plans to dredge 20 miles of the Calcasieu River, a two-phase project slated to begin this fall.
Tracy Falk, operations manager of the Corps' Calcasieu River and Pass Operations Division, said the first phase of the river's dredging will likely begin this fall at mile five and move north to mile 15. The estimated six-month project will be followed by phase two in which miles 15 through 25 will be dredged in 2015.
Falk, who presented the Corps' plans at the Lake Charles Coastal Conservation Association's State of the Lake meeting at Prien Lake Park, said opening bids for phase one of the river's dredging will go out this month.
"If the bid is opened this month, we would award it in August and then dredging would start as soon as September or October, depending on the contract and schedules," she said.
Falk said she could not estimate how much it would cost to dredge miles five through 15. She said the Corps' average annual dredging budget is between $15 million and $16 million.
The Corps hopes to award the contract for miles 15 through 25 by early next summer, Falk added.
"But once it's awarded, it could be another two to three months before the dredging actually starts because they have to get in and do some work on the disposal areas first," she said. "That could be another six-month dredging project."
Dredging along miles 15 though 25 may include the Devil's Elbow, the entrance along the river that leads to the turnaround basin across from Trunkline LNG. Falk said the Devil's Elbow is an area the Corps adds to all of its dredging contracts as an option.
"Once we get the bids and we know how much funding we have and we also talk to the channel users and determine their needs for us to dredge it, if we have the funding we will dredge it."
Posted By: Ruxton Istre On: 7/11/2014
Title: Where will the spoils be dropped?
If the spoils from the dredging are to accumulate on the East side, the west side of the ship channel will be made into a man-made flood plain. Again! That's one reason why the residents of Moss Lake were inundated with flood waters from Hurricane Ike. Maybe the ACoE could mandate the spoils be put on the western side of the ship channel to protect those people too.
Posted By: Gerald Cuvillier On: 7/11/2014
Title: Mr.
The next storm will push the storm surge all the way to Lake Charles. This will also inundate everything from Cameron, Hackberry, Big lake and Sweet Lake. I am sure glad I do not live down there anymore.

The Schoolmaster and Other Stories HTML version
The Marshal's Widow
ON the first of February every year, St. Trifon's day, there is an extraordinary commotion
on the estate of Madame Zavzyatov, the widow of Trifon Lvovitch, the late marshal of
the district. On that day, the nameday of the deceased marshal, the widow Lyubov
Petrovna has a requiem service celebrated in his memory, and after the requiem a
thanksgiving to the Lord. The whole district assembles for the service. There you will see
Hrumov the present marshal, Marfutkin, the president of the Zemstvo, Potrashkov, the
permanent member of the Rural Board, the two justices of the peace of the district, the
police captain, Krinolinov, two police-superintendents, the district doctor, Dvornyagin,
smelling of iodoform, all the landowners, great and small, and so on. There are about
fifty people assembled in all.
Precisely at twelve o'clock, the visitors, with long faces, make their way from all the
rooms to the big hall. There are carpets on the floor and their steps are noiseless, but the
solemnity of the occasion makes them instinctively walk on tip-toe, holding out their
hands to balance themselves. In the hall everything is already prepared. Father Yevmeny,
a little old man in a high faded cap, puts on his black vestments. Konkordiev, the deacon,
already in his vestments, and as red as a crab, is noiselessly turning over the leaves of his
missal and putting slips of paper in it. At the door leading to the vestibule, Luka, the
sacristan, puffing out his cheeks and making round eyes, blows up the censer. The hall is
gradually filled with bluish transparent smoke and the smell of incense.
Gelikonsky, the elementary schoolmaster, a young man with big pimples on his
frightened face, wearing a new greatcoat like a sack, carries round wax candles on a
silver-plated tray. The hostess, Lyubov Petrovna, stands in the front by a little table with
a dish of funeral rice on it, and holds her handkerchief in readiness to her face. There is a
profound stillness, broken from time to time by sighs. Everybody has a long, solemn face.
. . .
The requiem service begins. The blue smoke curls up from the censer and plays in the
slanting sunbeams, the lighted candles faintly splutter. The singing, at first harsh and
deafening, soon becomes quiet and musical as the choir gradually adapt themselves to the
acoustic conditions of the rooms. . . . The tunes are all mournful and sad. . . . The guests
are gradually brought to a melancholy mood and grow pensive. Thoughts of the brevity
of human life, of mutability, of worldly vanity stray through their brains. . . . They recall
the deceased Zavzyatov, a thick-set, red-cheeked man who used to drink off a bottle of
champagne at one gulp and smash looking-glasses with his forehead. And when they sing
"With Thy Saints, O Lord," and the sobs of their hostess are audible, the guests shift
uneasily from one foot to the other. The more emotional begin to feel a tickling in their
throat and about their eyelids. Marfutkin, the president of the Zemstvo, to stifle the
unpleasant feeling, bends down to the police captain's ear and whispers:

With a dominating second half, Lee's Summit West paid back St. Teresa's Academy in the Class 5, District 16 final, 61-42, for last year's district championship game loss on its own floor.
"It was great because we've been talking about that the whole time," said junior guard Taylor Jackson. "Since the beginning of the season we already said we were going to win it."
The Stars edged out the Titans 59-57 last year. This year, they get to move on and play North Kansas City at 3 p.m. today (March 12) in a Class 5 sectional game at the Independence Events Center.
"They lost to this same team last year," said West coach Jeff Hardin, "so they got a chance at redemption. They came back, they won it, and this is a big step for them. We're hoping for big things from them."
Ogechi Ofodu may have only scored five points, but they were five crucial points that got the Titans back in the game in the third quarter. With West trailing 26-20, Ofodu started a 17-3 run that would decide the game with five straight points coming off the bench.
"Ogechi Ofodu coming in and getting a big seal, getting fouled, getting three out of four free throws, getting a basket on a pass from Calloway, and getting an offensive rebound," Hardin said, "that turned the game around right there."
Three minutes into the third, Ofodu went one-for-two from the free-throw line, but Di'Jionae Calloway came up with the rebound and found Ofodu for a layup. Then she made two more from the line to pull the Titans within 26-25.
On an inbounds play, Madi Belanger found Austin Jackson for three-pointer that gave the Titans a 28-26 lead with 2:39 left in the third.
St. Teresa's Ryan Wilkins tried to kill the momentum and answered with a three for the Stars, but that was their only bucket in a span of six minutes.
And when Jackson canned another three from the left side to put them up 37-29 early in the fourth quarter, the Titans exploded.
"It was just the intensity that came up," Jackson said. "Our shot from Austin Richardson, that just lit it up right there. That just lit it up. And our offensive rebound from that free throw we had, that just lit up the team."
Richardson finished the night with 15 points, just behind Calloway's 16 for the team high. Jackson added 12 points.
In the last 3:30, the Titans scored 16 of their 20 points from the charity stripe to seal the game. The Titans finished 28 of 40 from the stripe.
Those 20 points in that short time span was more than the Titans scored the entire first half as they came out a little cold. Until Casey Cunningham hit a three-pointer in the last minute of the first quarter, the Titans were stuck at just three points and trailed 12-6 at the first break.
At the 5:23 mark in the second, the Titans found themselves down 16-7. Converting from the free-throw line helped narrow the gap to 19-16 by halftime.
"They calmed down," Hardin said. "They got their feet underneath them. They came out — their eyes were big. The game was a little big for them there at the beginning. They got their feet underneath them, and what really helped their offense was stopping them on defense."

Author Biography
As a Jordanian woman journalist writing for the Jordan Times, Rana Husseini has focused on social issues with a special emphasis on violence against women, as well as the brutal crimes that are committed against Jordanian women in the name of family honor. Her coverage of and dedication to ending this unjustified practice against women helped raise national awareness on a topic that is traditionally considered taboo. The government has responded by introducing legal and judicial changes that suggest tougher punishments for perpetrators of such crimes.
Murder in the Name of Honour (2009), Husseini's book on so-called honor crimes, has a special emphasis on Jordan. Available in English, Arabic, and Dutch, the book aims at providing people with a credible source of information based on real-life experience and tackles a sensitive issue which is often susceptible to misconception.
Husseini has earned nine local and international awards, including a medal from HM King Abdullah II in 2007 for reporting on such crimes. She has been interviewed by various local, Arab, and international media, such as CNN, ABC, BBC, the New York Times, VOA, Al Jazeera, Al Arabia, MBC, and the Chicago Tribune. Based on these experiences she has been invited to lecture at several local and international conferences regarding the issue, as well as women's rights in the region.
In addition to her extensive experience in the journalism field, Husseini has conducted several consultancies and advocates for women's rights in the Middle East and Jordan with local NGOs, UN agencies, and international organizations. She has served as special advisor to UN Women (previously UNIFEM), Equality Now, and Freedom House on women's issues and press freedoms in Jordan.
Husseini also worked as a consultant and trainer for the Jordan Media Institute and the International Research and Exchanges Board (IREX) by conducting training workshops for local reporters, journalism students on reporting on gender, human rights and violence against women.

This oil is my everything! When I first received it I didn't use it for fear that an oil would break me out. I found it a few weeks ago in my samples bin and looked up the ingredients to make sure there were no harmful chemicals. I started using it right away and I have been getting so many compliments on my skin. I had a really bad breakout and it left some scars and my friends could see my skin clearing up. My skin has a beautiful glow and I no longer use foundation, just BB Cream. The smell also relaxes me. It's just the best!5

Shoe Fun
I love to go shopping. I mean shopping is probably one of my favorite hobbies out of everything I do. The problem is, I have such a dirty mind that I spend my whole trip to the mall giggling and buying things with a phallic shape. I think that's why I like shoe shopping so much. The stiletto heels on shoes are getting so tall… and long, these days. After a trip to the mall last week, a new pink mini dress, and a very awesome pair of heels, I was utterly spent. That is until I started fiddling with my heel. Then I decided to try something dirty, and I slid my high heel under my mini dress. It was a little hard to slide the tall heel in, but I've officially made my shopping addiction worse. See the rest of my footwear fun at Danielle Ftv.
