11 Traffic Deaths In 15 Days, de Blasio Vows to Take Action
Speaking outside a Queens school where an eight-year-old boy was recently struck down by a truck, Bill de Blasio says New York City will take immediate steps to stem traffic fatalities.
"The goal is literally to reduce fatalities on our roadways to zero. That is our singular focus," he said.
In recent days, the mayor has been urged to move forward on his "Vision Zero" traffic safety goal, especially since eleven people—seven of them pedestrians—have already been killed in traffic in the first 15 days of this year.
De Blasio said starting Thursday, New York City's speed cameras—finally assented to by Albany—will begin issuing tickets instead of warnings.
Because speed cameras require state approval, the city can only install 20 of them. But the mayor says he wants more.
"We're going to fight for the home rule right to install speed cameras and red light cameras wherever data shows they will make our street safer," he said. "Look, this is a right our city needs to have. We need to be able to protect our people...we should not have to constantly go to Albany."
De Blasio also said he's creating an interagency working group that will report back to him by February 15th. The group, which he said touches on every agency but especially the NYC Department of Transportation, the NYPD, the Taxi and Limousine Commission, and the city's health department, is charged with figuring out a plan to deter and enforce dangerous driving behaviors, improve at least 50 dangerous corridors, expand the number of 20 mph zones across the city, and pursue a "traffic safety legislative agenda."

In the immediate future, the NYPD will increase the number of personnel dedicated to serious traffic violation enforcement, adding 60 officers to a squad that currently stands at 210. A police officer will also be stationed on Northern Boulevard in Queens, the site of the crash that killed eight-year-old Noshat Nahian.

Police commissioner Bill Bratton said the department had also recently expanded both the number and type of collisions it investigates, and had had harsh words for a previous NYPD policy. In the past, he said, "many, many serious accident investigations, involving serious injuries, were not seriously investigated." Bratton added that the NYPD's goal would be to investigate all serious accidents.
Bratton said the NYPD would be cracking down on driving behaviors that lead to crashes, such as disobeying signs, improper turns, failure to yield to pedestrians, distracted driving, and speeding. At the precinct level, more officers will be trained on newer-technology laser speed measurement, and precincts will be required to submit pedestrian safety plans.
This is "an effort that the police department is committed to," Bratton said. "A life lost is a life lost, whether by murder or by traffic accident."
De Blasio campaigned on "Vision Zero," an approach to traffic fatalities that treats every death as preventable. He's been meeting with the families of traffic crash victims, many of whom were in attendance at the press conference. "They, to me, are moral arbiters in this fight," he said.
Advocates praised the announcement. Paul Steely White, the head of Transportation Alternatives, said de Blasio's commitment to this issue is "heartening," as is his willingness to work with victims' families. "No one speaks with such moral authority as New Yorkers who have lost loved ones, and that will make all the difference as we need to change the law in Albany and as we continue to keep this issue on the front burner," said White.
Audrey Anderson is the mother of a victim.
"My loss is with me everyday," said Anderson, who lost her 14-year-old son Andre Anderson in September 2005. She says he was riding his bike on Shorefront Parkway in Queens when he struck from behind by an SUV and killed. "There are days that I just cry like that, walking, on the subway, on the job, at home. I can't even attend family functions and not think about him. It's deep and it's personal and everyone processes it differently. When it hits me, I don't care where I am, I'm going to cry and if you want to look at me and think I'm crazy, that's fine. That's my grief, my pain, and I'm going to handle it whatever way suits my soul," said Anderson.

But after de Blasio's announcement, she still had a question. "What constitutes criminality in reckless driving and accident investigations?" said an exasperated Anderson. "We have no idea what that is. I tried to pursue that angle when Andre died and I ended up with a blank wall. I really want to know."
Anderson didn't feel like any of the new proposals would have prevented her son's death. But she did call it a step in the right direction.

In this web-series Olivier Barrette Laperrière will show how he uses his urban habitat to his advantage as an all-around surfer. This guy will surf pretty much everything made of water that you throw at him!
This new series illustrates how this Montrealer lives as a surfer "dans la métropole" both on and off the water. A gym teacher by day, OBL saves his vacation exclusively for surfing in Canada or abroad while using the urban lifestyle to fire up his creativity and motivation to make the impossible possible. This is the first series I have seen that truly acts as a "how-to" to show hipsters and urbanites how to make it as a surfer in an urban set-up.
You might not dig it yet. This is unconventional surfing. Call it alternative surfing if you want.. but the reality is that, soon there will be way more Canadians surfing in Montreal, Toronto and Halifax altogether then Vancouver Island... if not already.

Tunisian workers: 'They are drinking our money'
Members of the Tunisian agricultural workers union staged a strike and sit-in Nov. 2 to protest managerial corruption and the withholding of workers' wages and benefits, some still unpaid from 2009. In the words of one employee: "They are drinking our money, smoking our money."
At a wheat granary just outside Tunis, two dozen workers, on strike for almost a month because of unpaid wages and corruption at the silo, held up three signs, reading:
- "No to the violation of union rights; the union has never and will never give up its wages and benefits."
- "We have discovered corruption and brought our case to court, but instead stand accused of ruining our company. We want accountability for this bad management."
- "The cooperative belongs to the workers and not to those who exploit it for profit."
In 2006, the union accepted some layoffs in eight categories—mainly early retirements by workers over age 45—but the government failed to keep up its side of the bargain and clean up corruption, according to Nabil Jebnouni, secretary-general of the regional union in Manouba.
Three women who work at the silo joined the protest. "Things used to work really well here," says one of the secretaries, who asked not to be named, adding that workers in the past had received profit-sharing bonuses once a year, after the harvest, in a lump sum that could be equivalent to their salary. Since 2009, those payments have been doled out in small amounts, and during the past two months, nothing.
The workers say they expect to stay on strike as long as it takes to resolve the issues, restore the workers' jobs and wages, and end corruption.
"This is an independent union and the workers are all that counts," says the secretary, as the men chant, "I will sacrifice my blood and soul for you, my union."
Silo worker Sami Hafidhi says reforms must come soon. During the revolution, he says, the workers held off on their claims in the expectation that a new government would address these problems later. However, the government has not responded, deferring to management.
"We will not stop," Hafidhi says. "We will not go back to work if there is no solution."
Meanwhile, other members of the Federation of Tunisian Agricultural Workers are staging a sit-in at the downtown headquarters of the Central Cooperative of Agriculture, guarding the documentation of corruption they uncovered and protesting the layoffs of 300 to 400 agricultural workers nationwide.
Specifically, the workers are accusing the former general director of the agricultural ministry of walking off with more than 10,000 Dinars (about 2,500 Euros) of money he was not entitled to; he claimed them for wages and gasoline expenses. The workers filed their case against the executive October 14.
"They are drinking our money, smoking our money," says Tarek Slama, who is in charge of trucks in the operations and maintenance division. "The current executive says he can do nothing, but we have proof. These are the auditors' reports, and yet nothing has changed. We are asking them to be responsible for what they have done. The evidence incriminates them. The office is sealed off, with all the files inside."
The workers want their story told around the world. They know that workers everywhere have been watching Tunisia's emerging democracy in hopes of fulfilling the promise of the Arab Spring.
"We want everybody to know that the family of the ex-president, along with his in-laws, left the country—at least they left," Slama says, "but many thieves remain."
The general secretary of the Federation of Tunisian Agricultural Workers, Hassen Ghodbane, notes that food is essential to any country, so during the revolution, the agricultural workers continued to do their jobs and ensure the food supply, thus supporting the revolution by feeding the nation.
But they have waited long enough, and now they have authorized a strike for November 15-17. The union is expecting a large turnout of its membership, which has grown from about 22,000 to 36,000 members in four months.
"Our work is like the pace of agriculture itself," says Ghodbane, "from drought to rain to growth."

Our patented Recyclamine®
The World's First Recyclable Epoxy Resin System
Connora's revolutionary epoxy resin system, Recyclamine®, enables the next generation of performance composites and adhesives to be recyclable for the first time. The Recyclamine® epoxy system delivers chemical resistance and mechanical properties similar to conventional, non-recyclable amine-cured epoxies. Flexibility, toughness, and low temperature properties are also equal or superior to conventional epoxies.
Using a low energy recycling process, high value materials (e.g., carbon fiber, fiberglass, kevlar) can be recovered and repurposed from composite waste. Today's high performance thermoset composite products can now be designed for recyclability, while maintaining performance characteristics.

Greetings happy wanderers.
Don't blame you for not eye-balling the shark - Andy is obviously a dab hand. Your camera has performed very well - underwater shots are great.Weak teeth! - wouldn't like to try poking the krait to find out after all its land cousin is definitely lethal. Getting up close to a moray eel - would give that a miss too. It's not a friendly creature either. It must be marvellous though witnessing the kalaidoscope of creatures that inhabit the reef.
Glad to know you have been basking in sunshine and heat, quite the opposite to us. Went up to the frozen north last weekend - definitely a lot of snow - feet of it. Aviemore -18C and 5 foot....yes 5 foot icicles hanging from the shop roofs - definitely a deterent for window shppoing!!
It's amazing how the island life has been restored after such a traumatic experience. We can just picture the chaotic scene. Obviously not the place to go for rest and recuperation - extra strength ear plugs required.
Koh Phi Phi
Loading Map
You can escape the mayhem quite easily though & this is what we did yesterday when we signed up for a half day snorkelling trip to Koh Phi Phi Ley. We chose an outfit called The Adventure Club primarily because they are environmentally friendly & proactive in protecting the delicate ecosystem out in the sea. At present they have started a coral nursery off PP Ley. 3 years ago they sunk 3 huge concrete blocks & then planted baby coral, It has taken well & this experiment bodes well for other man-made coral rescue projects. On our trip there were 5 of us & our Scarborough guide Andy. Cost was 800B which is around �15. Andy is of course a joker & has decided that for today I am to be his victim!

does cellulose behave like fiberglass? if compacted does its R value decrease?

A look back and important lessons learned from the dramatic, rapidly-developing investigation that followed the deadly explosion of two bombs at the finish line of the 117th Boston Marathon in 2013 resulted in new research now available from Harvard Kennedy School (HKS):
One year after two homemade bombs exploded along the finish line of the Boston Marathon, killing three, injuring dozens, and traumatizing an entire city, jurisdictions both here and abroad remain on high alert to the possibility of similar unexpected, complex, and potentially deadly events in their own backyard. A new White Paper co-authored by four scholars of emergency management and criminal justice at Harvard Kennedy School (HKS), Law School (HLS) and Business School (HBS) draws upon the marathon bombing events to provide responders with concrete and actionable steps to help improve their own emergency management planning efforts now and in the years to come.
Why Was Boston Strong? Lessons from the Boston Marathon Bombing dissects the myriad events that occurred in and around the City between April 15-19, 2013. The White Paper's authors – Herman B. "Dutch" Leonard (HKS/HBS); Christine M. Cole (HKS); Arnold M. Howitt (HKS); and Philip B. Heymann (HLS) – analyze in detail the 100 hours "of intense drama that riveted the attention of the nation" between the moment the first bomb exploded near the marathon finish line until the arrest of the lone surviving suspect more than four days later - identifying those critical moments when planning, preparation and coordination paid off - as well as those occasions when performance left room for improvement...
Faculty and researchers from Harvard Kennedy School's Program on Crisis Leadership and Program in Criminal Justice Policy and Management, along with faculty representing Harvard Business School and Harvard Law School, have undertaken a research initiative examining the response to the 2013 Boston Marathon bombings...
See Press page for articles, interviews, and other media coverage relating to the Boston Marathon and Aftermath.
The Executive Session on Policing and Public Safety (2008-2014) has released Social Media and Police Leadership: Lessons from Boston on April 7, 2014 as part of the report series, New Perspectives in Policing.
The very timely and effective use of social media in the hours and days following the Boston Marathon bombings may serve as a model for other law enforcement agencies in the United States. A new report, Social Media and Police Leadership: Lessons from Boston, spotlights the ways in which the Boston Police Department (BPD) successfully leveraged its social media platform throughout the investigation to keep the community informed and engaged. The report, published as part of the New Perspectives in Policing Series by the Program in Criminal Justice Policy and Management at Harvard Kennedy School (HKS), is co-authored by former BPD Commissioner Edward F. Davis III.
"The Boston Police Department has long embraced both community policing and the use of social media," the report begins. "The department put its experience to good and highly visible use in April 2013 during the dramatic, rapidly developing investigation that followed the deadly explosion of two bombs at the finish line of the Boston Marathon." Davis and co-authors Alejandro A. Alves and David Alan Sklansky identify several key moments following the explosions when the BPD turned to Twitter to communicate critical information. Within one hour of the bombings, they explain, the department had sent out a tweet confirming what had happened along Boylston Street....

George Lucas's production company Lucasfilm failed to convince Britain's highest court that UK copyright law bars sales of replica Imperial Stormtrooper helmets from the movie Star Wars.
The ruling yesterday by the UK Supreme Court in London upheld a December 2009 appeals court finding that British engineer Andrew Ainsworth, who helped design the white helmets, didn't violate UK law by selling the copies, which he cast from original moulds.
The ruling "maintains an anomaly of British copyright law under which the creative and highly artistic works made for use in films - which are protected by the copyright laws of virtually every other country in the world - may not be entitled to copyright protection in the UK," Lucasfilm said in a statement.
The company, based in California, filed the UK case after winning a US$20 million judgment against Ainsworth in a California lawsuit over the helmet sales in 2006.
The judge in that case said Ainsworth's company, Shepperton Design Studios, infringed Lucas's copyright and made misleading claims about the helmets' authenticity.
Lucas had already determined the look of the fictional soldiers for his 1977 science-fiction epic, before asking Ainsworth to work on the helmets, Lucasfilm argued.
Lucasfilm didn't convince the Supreme Court the helmet qualified as a sculpture, as opposed to being a purely utilitarian creation. If the court had deemed it a sculpture, Ainsworth's online sales would have been violating UK copyright law.
"It was the Star Wars film that was the work of art that Mr Lucas and his companies created," the justices wrote. "The helmet was utilitarian, in the sense that it was an element in the process of production of the film."
The ruling will be disappointing for production companies that seek longer periods of protection for merchandising, said Huw Evans, a lawyer at Allen & Overy in London.
"It follows that full copyright protection for 3D articles in the UK will generally continue to be limited to the fine arts," Evans said.
People interested in intellectual-property law may watch to see what Lucasfilm does next, said Thayne Forbes, a managing director at brand-valuation company Intangible Business.
"The Star Wars films are an upmarket, fantasy experience for the audience, and the merchandise must be reflective of this or it risks damaging the brand value," Forbes said.
"What Lucasfilm quite rightly wants to avoid is stormtrooper helmets and armour being found in cheap plastic-toy territory."
The ruling gave Lucasfilm a partial victory by granting it some rights to sue in the UK over infringement of foreign copyrights. That portion of the judgment is an "important step" in modernising UK law and bringing it into line with the European Union, Lucasfilm said.
The decision is important for business because it clears up a long-running controversy over whether UK courts can decide if non-UK copyrights have been infringed, said Nigel Jones, a lawyer at Linklaters in London.
"That uncertainty has now gone," Jones said. "If you want to sue here, that is good news. If you want to avoid being sued here, it may be less welcome."
The UK Court of Appeal in London said in 2009 that Lucasfilm couldn't enforce the California judgment in the UK and warned Ainsworth about the risks of further sales in the UK.
The "surprise" Supreme Court decision may lead to a flood of copyright lawsuits filed in the UK, said David Allen, who leads the litigation practice at law firm Mayer Brown's London office.
"This will be particularly significant where infringement takes place in a country with less stable and internationally respected legal systems than the UK, for example such as in the developing world," Allen said.

The Hammers of Creation: Folk Culture in Modern African-American Fiction
€ 23,49
Lieferbar innert 2 Wochen
März 2006
BeschreibungIn The Hammers of Creation, Eric J. Sundquist analyzes the powerful role played by folk culture in three major African-American novels of the early twentieth century: James Weldon Johnson's The Autobiography of an Ex-Coloured Man, Zora Neale Hurston's Jonah's Gourd Vine, and Arna Bontemps's Black Thunder. Sundquist explains how the survival of cultural traditions originating in Africa and in slavery became a means of historical reflection and artistic creation for modern writers. He goes on to illustrate and compare the ways in which the three representative novels use aspects of African-American culture, including the folklore of slavery, black music from spirituals to jazz, black worship and sermonic form, and African-American resistance to slavery and segregation. The Hammers of Creation focuses on the unique narrative form of each of the three novels - Johnson's fictive autobiography, Hurston's ethnographic commentary combined with personal narrative, and Bontemps's historical fiction based on Gabriel's slave rebellion - to illustrate the range of fictional strategies black writers have employed. Through their attempts to gain cultural integrity, Sundquist explains, these writers were able to recover and preserve vital aspects of African-American history. Sundquist argues that by incorporating vernacular culture and the oral tradition into their works, Johnson, Hurston, and Bontemps challenge the primacy of written narrative while creating an African-American literary tradition that links the world of African ancestors and antebellum culture to the world of contemporary letters.
PortraitEric J. Sundquist is UCLA Foundation Professor of Literature. He is the author or editor of a dozen books, including Strangers in the Land and To Wake the Nations.

The Gekkabijin Vib 3S is an all new "vibe", its unique design has no equivalents. Imitating the small shrimps that are so prevalent throughout estuaries, bays, rivers and streams, the Gekkabijin Vib 3S will definitely be one of the most affective finesse lures available today.
Unlike any other vibes or blades available, the Gekkabijin Vib features a hollow plastic body, this "full" body profile gives it presence in the water, creating a more solid vibration and being wider it creates more resistance compared to slim vibes, thus it can be cranked slower. The hollow body allows it to sink slower for a more natural presentation, and the internal weight system causes the lure to sink nose forward to avoid snagging, on a slow crank it easily bumps over structure to avoid the hook snagging. Crank it slow and steady with intermittent pauses and it produces a wide wobble and falling action, ideal for inactive or wary fish. But speed it up and give it erratic twitches, the lure will dart left to right with a tight high pitched wiggle, attracting any active predatory fish.
Designed in Japan and handmade to the highest standards, these lures feature an impact resistant body, 3D realistic eyes, ultra sharp HD chemically sharpened treble with lifelike silicone and tinsel skirt and it is painted internally with chip proof paint for an incredible lifelike finish.
This is the perfect finesse lure for bream, bass, trout, estuary perch or literally any fish that feeds on small shrimp or prawns. Ideally the Gekkabijin Vib 3s should be fished on highly sensitive rods like Black Label Technical SSS series, TDX or the MX Ajing on fine PE or fluorocarbon to get the full benefits of this unique lure.
- Sinking
- Discreet vibration action
- Ultra sharp heavy duty chemically sharpened treble
- Rubber/ tinsel skirt
- Chip proof internal painting
- 3D realistic eyes
Perfectly matched with

grindcore has not received any gifts yet
Well NY has been a very interesting place to say the least in my short time here. I still have no social circle and i work too much for free. I did get a job at a museum recently as a curatorial fellow. You would like this institution its the "Museum of Contemporary African Diaspora Arts". I went to sundance for 2 weeks and that was awesome. I've also been working on new music and am very upset that i do not have the time to paint as i would like. I might be going down to austin for sxsw if this situation goes through with me providing video coverage for one of the showcases. Hows the lone star state been?
yea i moved.... im shedding a tear for the leaving behind the lone star state. when duty calls so follows action. hows UT?

Montabella 'on the verge doing a lot of things'
BLANCHARD — Montabella's football team could very well set a school record for most wins in a single season. Receiver Jemikal Papendick knows this.
"We're on the verge of doing a lot of things that haven't happened before," Papendick said.
If the Mustangs knock off St. Louis on Friday, they will have won eight games in a single season for the first time in school history.
Papendick said this has been brewing for a year, when Montabella won their last four games of the season. The Mustangs have won 12 of their last 13 games.
"We started last year really in the offseason," he said. "We set some goals for the team, we've been hungry and it's starting to pay off."
Papendick took a low-key approach to what he's done to help the cause.
"I guess for me it's just that I've had some trust and bond with my teammates, and just go with the flow," he said.
Coach David Clay wouldn't be so low-key in his thoughts on his star senior.
"First and foremost he is one of the leaders on the team," Clay said. "He's a kid that leads by example both on and off the field. he's a very positive young man, and that's where it starts with him."
Papendick has had a good rapport with quarterback Charles Helmer. The two have hooked up for numerous touchdowns this season. Clay said the pair have always had that rapport.
"That goes back to four years ago, and even before then," he said. "They've been playing since Rocket football, and they work together in the summer. Jemikal adjusts his routes to help him. When two players know each other very well it makes for a good combo."
Papendick said it goes back even further.
"I think it's because we've been together since fifth grade," he said. "We know the timing of each other, and it works out."
Papendick is hoping to play football in college.
"I plan on going to either Ferris State or Wayne State for pharmacy, and I'm hoping to get a chance to play football there, too," he said.
Clay thinks any school that gets him will get a good person.
"I think he's definitely a college player, not even just athletically but academically," he said. "Any school would be privileged to have him. Several colleges has inquired of him in D2 and D3. Central has also requested some film on him."

Outreach Project: The 21st Annual Metropolitan Luncheon
As a member of the Board of Directors of Outreach Development Corporation, I attended the 21st Annual Metropolitan Luncheon for Outreach Project held on Thursday, November 14, at the Sheraton Center in Manhattan.
Outreach Project is truly blessed with an outstanding leader - Kathleen Riddle. She is the wind beneath the wings of this vital organization. It is through her constant devotion, sincere commitment and dedicated service that Outreach Project continues to grow. Kathleen Riddle is a visionary professional.

Outreach Training Institute also has a very highly regarded academic program to train individuals to become a drug or alcohol abuse counselor. In addition, during this year Outreach opened a Second Opportunity School (SOS) program. This is a joint project with the New York City Board of Education and provides educational and therapeutic services for adolescents who have been suspended from New York City Middle Schools.
At this years luncheon, Outreach honored three outstanding individuals with the 2002 annual service award: John Pegno, Edward Riguardi and John J. Sweeney.
John Pegno is the President of A J Pegno Construction Corporation which is a major public works general contractor in the New York City region. John is the Vice President of the General Contractors Association and will be the President of this group in 2003.
Edward Riguardi is the Managing Director in the New York Transactions Group of Jones, Land and LaSalle and is the senior oversight officer of the New York Metro areas management portfolio. He is considered the "Dean of Property Management in New York". He has served as the Chairman of Colliers A.B.R. and President / Founder of Koeppel, Tener, Riguardi. He has served as a consultant to Exxon, American Express, Bank of New York, Citibank, Equitable Life, Merrill Lynch and John Hancock, where he coordinated the asset management for their real estate portfolios. He is a member of the Board of Governors and the Executive Committee of the Real Estate Board of New York.
John J. Sweeney is continuing to serve in his third term as the President of the AFL-CIO. In 1995, he was elected as the President on a platform of revitalizing the 13 million member federation representing 66 affiliated unions. Prior to this he was the head of the Service Employees International Union. When he assumed that position there were 623,000 members. Under his leadership it grew to 1.1 million members. In 1996 John Sweeney wrote "America Needs A Raise, Fighting For Economic Security and Justice". John Sweeney also co-authored "Solutions for the New Work Force and co-edited the UNA-USA Economic Policy Council's "Family and Work: Bridging the Gap".
John Pegno, Edward Riguardi and John Sweeney were honored by Outreach Project for their contribution and commitment to helping Outreach continue to "Build Healthy Lives for Children and Families".
Please tune in on Monday, December 2, at 5:30 p.m. to Channel 56 to view the Rally for Peace in Israel which was taped by Michael Benn. Mike is the outstanding, well-known producer of "Eyes of the Irish" which airs each Monday. The Rally for Peace in Israel was a very important and vital meeting.

Abel's Field on DVD: Review and Giveaway
I will be the first to say that I'm not really a religious person, so when it comes to reviewing "faith-based" DVDs and movies, I tend to be choosy. That's not to say that others won't enjoy them; it just means that I often don't. With Abel's Field, I liked the movie overall; however, the film itself is very slow, which for me often makes the movie less interesting.
Synopsis of the film:
Left motherless by tragedy and abandoned by his father, high school senior Seth McArdle (Samuel Davis) faces enormous pressure as he strives to support his little sisters. At school, he endures the daily bullying of the football team. But fighting back only finds him singled out for punishment and assigned to an after-school work detail under the supervision of the reserved groundskeeper, Abel (SOUL SURFER'S Kevin Sorbo). Much to his surprise, Seth discovers that Abel may be the only one who truly understands his struggles. As dark times lure Seth toward desperate measures, the reluctant Abel may be the one person who can point him back toward the light.
I thought it was interesting how the movie kind of juxtaposed Seth's life with those of his peers (fellow high school students). His dad, a trucker, left them a few months ago, and Seth has been receiving letters from the bank saying that payments are past due. He has 7-year-old twin sisters that he basically takes care of himself, and he has two jobs, one as a mechanic and one as a fry cook, to bring in some money. He gets beaten up by the football team players for no reason, and when he finally decides to fight back, the football coach punishes him, so now he has a third job, working with a man named Abel to install a sprinkler system for the football field. There's a scene where he's a passenger in a car with a girl he took out on a date and her friends, and they're exclaiming over what dresses they will be buying for Homecoming; it seems rather frivolous compared to what he's going through. There's also a sad part where one of his sisters asks him if "they're okay," because the bread in the freezer has "fuzz" (mold) on it.
If you enjoy faith-based films and/or a family-friendly story that has good morals in it, you will like Abel's Field. My issue with it was mostly its slow pace, like I mentioned before, but I did like the plot overall and also the ending. I would have liked a bit more of a back story on Abel, the groundskeeper, but I think it was intentional for him to be mysterious, as we learn something a little shocking about him later on in the movie.
Abel's Field will be out on DVD on January 22nd. 2.5 stars out of 5.

:) good for you. Glad you were able to save for college.Delete
My mom and dad had a terrible break up that pretty much ruined our (my brother and I) childhood. We grew up, got out, and now were both doing pretty well for ourselves!ReplyDelete
My family never had much money and a lot of kids so I had a job from the time I knew what one was. Delivering papers, and prescriptions, gardener's helper, truck loader, I did anything and manged through hard work to make a pretty good life for myself. Next year I officially retire, that will be nice, but I'll probably keep working on the side.ReplyDelete
I was short and chubby when I was little. I grew taller and started running and lost a BUNCH of weightReplyDelete
My greatest hardship was immediately following the birth of my second child. I had to deliver via caesarian section and the labor started early. I had to drive to the hospital immediately since I was on blood thinners and they had to reverse it. My husband had left for work and was over 30 minutes away. I drove my oldest over to his grandmothers since she didn't drive and no one else was available. Then I drove to the hospital while having contractions. Once I delivered I was addressing symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis. By the time I was home from the hospital, the inflammation and pain was getting worse. Not only did I have to care for two young children, I had to recover from surgery. Having no family nearby, they were 230 miles away, my husband's grandma stepped up to the plate and offered assistance. She was a Godsend! It was a rough three months, but she stood by my side. I am appreciative of her love and support. I don't know how I would have survived those difficult days.ReplyDeleteReplies
Sounds like a hard situation! Glad it turned out okay in the end though.Delete

I will be heading down to New Orleans for a conference this Oct. Hoping to possibly get into a blind and shoot out some stress. It looks like Snow Goose season will be open.
In return, I can offer Sea Duck hunt for Eiders and a few Scoters and Old Squaw out of the Boston area. I hunt over about 40 Eiders and 20 Scoters, all hand carved by me (burlap over foam). We usually get our Eiders pretty early on, and and work for the Scoters. If we have Old Squaw, we sometimes get one or two come within range.
The season is pretty long, but the hunting only gets good once Maine/NH have started to freeze up. Best times are from mid-Dec thru to the close, usually about the 2nd weekend in Feb.
I will post up a few pics from last year in the next few days.

National Press Foundation's Editor of the Year is El Paso Times' Bob Moore
The National Press Foundation has announced the winners of its annual awards and El Paso Times Editor Robert "Bob" Moore is among the winners.
The winners will receive their awards on March 5, 2014, at NPF's 31st annual awards dinner:
· Robert "Bob" Moore,the editor of the El Paso Times, will receive the Benjamin C. Bradlee Award as Editor of the Year for leading his paper's three-year coverage of corruption within the El Paso Independent School District. The corruption targeted Mexican immigrant students who were moved into grades so they could not take standardized tests; low scores on such tests would deny some administrators' bonuses. The paper's investigation uncovered additional corruption and along with Moore's editorials led to the firing or resignations of school administrators and statewide reform.
· Wolf Blitzer, lead political anchor at CNN, will receive the Sol Taishoff Award for Excellence in Broadcast Journalism. Blitzer was cited for his energy, encyclopedic knowledge of politics and unique ability to handle multiple story lines while continuing to inform the public.
· Robert Siegel, the senior host of NPR's All Things Considered, will receive the W.M. Kiplinger Award for Distinguished Contributions to Journalism. He is being honored for his insightful interviewing and calm demeanor that elevates his broadcasts.
There were two equal winners of NPF's own Feddie Award, showing the impact of federal rules and regulations outside the Beltway:
· Bloomberg reporters Mark Drajem and Jack Kaskey showed the consequences in West, Texas, when there was little federal oversight of toxic chemical storage at a manufacturing plant, but also little industry compliance with federal safety rules, resulting in a chemical explosion that killed 14 people;
· Gannett Washington reporter Maureen Groppe showed how school districts and small employers in Indiana were preparing for the implementation of the Affordable Care Act by reducing the hours of aides, bus drivers and others to avoid having to cover them;
· The one-time only "Shutdown Feddie" award will go to The Wall Street Journal for a comprehensive look at the federal shutdown's local impact, from declining customers at a tourism business in the Great Smoky Mountains to an Oregon company's inability to get needed FCC approvals.
There were also two independent winners of the Everett McKinley Dirksen Award for Distinguished Coverage of Congress:
· Boston Globe Washington bureau reporters and editors worked on a year-long series of 16 storiescalled "Broken City," showing how legislative gridlock affects all aspects of the government, what causes it and what might be done to change it.
· Washington Post reporter David A. Fahrenthold showed how accounting tricks masqueradedas spending cuts during one session of Congress, inadvertently setting up the take-no-prisoners attitude of newly elected conservatives in another.
In two other categories,
· Adam Zyglis of the Buffalo News will receive the Clifford K. and James T. Berryman Award for Editorial Cartooning.
· The website "Syria Deeply" (http://beta.syriadeeply.org) will receive NPF's Excellence in Online Journalism award for a site that uses video, data graphics, original reporting, Twitter, Google Hangouts and other internet tools to convey the story of the conflict in Syria.

A senior Pakistani security source told BBC's Newsnight programme last night that Abdul Jabbar was a British citizen who has a British wife and was living in Punjab, Pakistan.
According to the source, he was chosen as the leader of a new group, to be called The Islamic Army of Great Britain, at a meeting in the North Waziristan region of Pakistan three months ago.
But there was dissent at the meeting, which was attended by 300 militants and monitored by the intelligence agencies, about appointing Jabbar who was relatively new to the group.
A second meeting was called but the Briton was killed before it could take place.
The source said the new group was set up to organise synchronised terrorist attacks in the UK, France and Germany.
It was this intelligence that led to the missile strike by a US unmanned aerial drone on September 8 which killed Jabbar and three others.
The suspects, who are also said to have included a number of German nationals, were hiding in the tribal areas of North Waziristan at the time.
An intelligence official told the Associated Press news agency that Jabbar's brother was conspiring with him to commit the Europe terrorist atrocity.
The Home Secretary Theresa May, speaking on Newsnight, said: "None of us must under-estimate the seriousness of the threat the UK is under.
"We do recognise the level of terrorist threat there is here in the UK and we must still be vigilant."
The reports about Jabbar follow the disclosure that intelligence agencies in Europe, Pakistan and the US intercepted a credible Islamic plot to launch raids on European cities, in a similar style to the attacks in Mumbai, India, two years ago.Reuse content

Justin Bieber Parties With Kim Kardashian In Los Angeles!
Adam Levine, Usher & More — all the stars were out for Scooter Braun's birthday party!
Scooter Braun — the man who discovered Justin Bieber and shared his gifts with the world — turned 30 on June 18, and to celebrate he threw a lavish carnival-themed birthday party with some A-list buddies! HollywoodLife.com was at The Music Box in Hollywood for the shindig and got a glimpse of all of the action!
Justin, 17, was there supporting his manager, spending much of the night hanging with his buddy Jaden Smith. But it was easy for him to get distracted by all the extravagance. The carnival theme was wild, with fire throwers and belly dancers. And the entertainment? Let's just say it was the top of the A-list!
All of the musical talent there performed, and it was a who's-who of pop! Justin kicked things off by singing "Never Say Never" with a rap by Jaden, who also took over the Ludacris part in "Baby." Then MC Hammer somewhat randomly ran through some hits, including "Too Legit To Quit." Usher kept the party going by performing a set filled with hits like "Yeah!", and although he was shy to get onstage, Adam Levine even belted out Maroon 5's smash "This Love."
Meanwhile, a Kris Humphries-free Kim Kardashian was mingling in the crowd, along with celebs such as her frenemy Paris Hilton and singer Mary J. Blige.
It was a great night for one of the nicest guys in showbusiness!
— Wiliam Earl, reporting by Kirstin Benson
More Justin!

Hussein, Shereen (2011) As our population ages, demand for social care is growing. But the government's immigration policies may well restrict the quality and quantity of social care professionals. British Politics and Policy at LSE (31 Oct 2011) Blog Entry.
Download (42Kb) | Preview
The UK's ageing population has brought issues of long-term care to the fore, but the care workforce and the vital role that immigrants play in it are seldom discussed. Shereen Hussein argues that limiting non-EU care workers entry to the UK may reduce both the quantity and quality of care professionals needed to fill vital care posts.

A Few Words About Us
Penilopee & Nick LaRosa
The #1 Stylist Trick For An Instant Cellulite Solution! Clear Adhesive Strips Instantly Lift & Smooth Sagging Skin & Cellulite Making
Your Body Look Tight & FIrm. Use When & Where You Need Them For A Non Sugical Lift . Get An Instant Thigh Lift, Arm Lift,
Tummy Lift, Bottom Lift, Back Lift & Inner Thigh Lift in Seconds!
The Skinnies are the #1 Stylist Trick to instantly smooth cellulite & sagging skin. They are the go to product for celebrity red carpet appearances, beauty pageants, movie sets, and Princesses (we won't say who!). But most importantly, they are for the fabulous stay at home moms and working women everywhere. You don't have to be perfect! Just wear your Skinnies & let them think you are!
Penilopee LaRosa was not intending to invent the next hot beauty product when she came up with this idea. They say the thing that bothers you the most will point you toward your calling and the cellulite on her legs was definitely on her hate list. Injured while giving birth, she couldn't exercise because of a damaged hip. As she entered into her 40's, the skin on her legs became saggy and covered in cellulite. So no matter the temperature outside, when everyone else was in shorts, she was the one in Capri pants. She tried all the creams and home remedies with no success. Until one day Penilopee noticed if she lifted the skin on her legs just a tiny bit, it made the cellulite go away. So, she went for the duct tape. It actually kind of worked. It just shredded her skin when she took it off. She spent the next year working with leading adhesive scientists finally developing the perfect combination of skin tape that lifts and holds the skin all day but doesn't hurt when its removed. After that, she developed specific sizes and formulas for 7 different body parts, giving us the full line of Skinnies Instant Lifts we have today.
Penilopee has also invented the wonderful anti wrinkle product SMOOTH SLEEPERS. Also a product that prevents babies from rolling over and suffocating BABY SLEEPS SAFE and EMERGENCY READERS. Skinnies, as well as these products are owned and operated by Penilopee and husband, Nick LaRosa by LaRosa Innovations, LLC located in Tampa, Florida.
