|Doc Rivers wants to give Brandon Bass a little confidence while staying 'as big as possible'
|01.04.13 at 9:14 pm ET
Celtics head coach Doc Rivers announced before Friday's game with the Pacers that he was inserting forward Brandon Bass back in the starting lineup, taking the place of Jason Collins.
"We want to stay as big as possible, what we didn't like with Jason in the [starting] lineup was — now we're going to play him every night — and when he and Kevin were off the floor, we got small quickly," Rivers explained. "This way we can keep a big on the floor at all times.
"We could have done it the other night, but that was Avery's first night. That is the group that helped us. But having Jason [play every night] will help Kevin, because he still won't have to play '5' the entire time. I just think the season's too long now for Kevin to do that."
The Celtics are also hoping the move will motivate Bass, who is averaging just 8.1 points and 5.3 rebounds a game.
"That's what we're hoping," Rivers added. "You don't do it just for the group, you do it for the individual at times," said Rivers. "Brandon's played better when he's playing with Kevin, though everyone has for that matter. I think clearly Brandon has. And that's one of the reasons we are doing it."
The lineup of Rajon Rondo, Avery Bradley, Bass, Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce marks the ninth different lineup Rivers has used in the first 32 games of the season. That lineup debuted on March 25, 2012 after Mickael Pietrus suffered a concussion in Philadelphia and two games after Ray Allen was sent to the bench. With that lineup, the Celtics went 11-3 down the stretch to help the Celtics win the Atlantic Division title for a fifth straight season.
Collins had started the previous seven games for the Celtics since being inserted in the lineup for Bass on Dec. 21 against the Cavaliers to take the load off Kevin Garnett in the low post.
Bass has strugged in his role off the bench, both offensively and defensively, and Rivers made the decision Friday to boost Bass' game by putting him on the floor more with Garnett.
|Avery Bradley's philosophy: 'Defense is just effort'
|01.03.13 at 9:38 am ET
Even if his jump shot isn't back yet, the Celtics really need Avery Bradley's attitude.
"Defense is just effort," he said after his return from double shoulder surgery. "If you give effort, you can never have a bad defensive game. That's how I think of it. You play as hard as you can. That's all you have to do."
Outside of Kevin Garnett and possibly Jason Collins, it's hard to say there's anybody else on the Celtics who offers a consistent effort on the defensive end every night. Just ask Tony Allen. Rajon Rondo and Paul Pierce often conserve themselves for the offensive end, Courtney Lee hasn't come as advertised defensively and nobody else on the C's roster has developed much of a defensive reputation, unless you include Fab Melo, who started the season falling into a folding chair and currently suffers from a concussion after walking into a doorway.
In addition to being the NBA's worst rebounding team, the Celtics rank in the middle of the pack in almost every defensive statistical category after ranking among the top five teams in defensive rating every season since 2008.
"Every team has its up and downs," said Bradley, who scored four points on six shots during Wednesday night's loss to the Grizzlies. "The best teams are the ones that can go through the adversity and overcome it. With the veteran leadership we have, I feel like we're going to overcome it. We've just got to keep improving."
|Tony Allen: Celtics 'missing a lot of pieces'
|at 12:21 am ET
Grizzlies wing Tony Allen admitted, "I ain't no analyst," but he offered up an opinion of his former team anyway, and his diagnosis of the Celtics was about as pretty as their 14-17 record.
"They're missing a lot of pieces," said Allen, who left Boston for a three-year deal in Memphis two summers ago.
Somewhat offering his stamp of approval on the replacement of Ray Allen's 3-point shooting prowess with fellow veteran Jason Terry, Allen instead harped on the absence of players … well … like himself.
"I don't think they've really got a defensive-minded guy yet," added Allen. "I mean, they've got one [Avery Bradley], but I can't say he's 100 percent just yet. I don't think they've got the center like Perk [Kendrick Perkins]. It's kind of hard finding a guy like — a guy who clogs up the paint, talks trash to you and can actually back it up. They're just missing a lot. I don't know. I don't see the same team from 2008."
Still, Allen knows better than to bury a Celtics team that still features three pretty important members from that '08 NBA championship team: Paul Pierce, Rajon Rondo and Kevin Garnett.
|Fast Break: Grizzlies maul Celtics in 4th straight loss
|01.02.13 at 9:59 pm ET
Avery Bradley may have returned to the starting lineup, but the same old Celtics took the Garden floor in a loss to the Grizzlies on Wednesday night that looked worse than the 93-83 final.
Despite a spirited fourth-quarter comeback that slashed a Grizzlies lead that had grown as large as 18 points to just five with a handful of minutes remaining, it wasn't enough to make up for three quarters of dreadful play that left the C's three games under .500 (14-17) for the first time this season.
Bradley made his first bucket after missing the opening 30 games of the season, finishing with four points in 18 minutes. Rajon Rondo (11 points, 9 assists), who battled a bruised hip, Paul Pierce (17 points, 7 rebounds) and Kevin Garnett (12 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists) were the only Celtics in double figures. Hence, the team's fourth straight loss and eighth in the last 10 games.
Memphis shooting: In the first half, the Grizzlies shot a ridiculous 61.1 percent and scored 50 points on 36 shots. Mike Conley (23 points, 9 assists) and old friend Tony Allen (15 points, 5 rebounds) shot a combined 9-of-11 before the break. Heck, even Darrell Arthur (10 points), who entered without a 3-pointer in 204 career games, drained two triples in the span of 1:43 in the second quarter.
Garnett's first half: Whether it was a New Year's hangover or not, Garnett started an atrocious 1-of-7 from the floor and committed three turnovers as the Grizzlies took a 50-41 lead into the break. It's no surprise the defense also struggled on a night when KG didn't have his best performance.
The Collins experiment: Celtics starting center Jason Collins may have limited Marc Gasol's scoring, but he did little to quell the C's overall defense and rebounding woes. (The Celtics were out-rebouned 39-27 and gave up eight offensive boards). Plus, he's essentially nonexistent on the offensive end. In what's been a trend for Collins, he had as many personal fouls (2) as points.
Pierce's first quarter: The Celtics captain started a perfect 3-for-3 from beyond the arc, scoring 12 of the team's 26 points in the first quarter. He may not have been as successful in the paint, but his effort from long distance helped keep the C's afloat as the Grizzlies made two-thirds of their shots in the early going.
Avery's arrival: Bradley started opposite Mike Conley and held the Memphis guard to two shots (a successful 3-pointer and a runner from 6 feet) and two assists in 13:22 of shared floor time in the first half. In Conley's remaining first-half minutes (8:22), he made 4-of-6 shots and generated three assists. In other words, even if Bradley's offense was rusty (1-4 FG), he's still effective on the defensive end.
The bench: Bradley's presence also pushes Jason Terry (8 points) to the bench, creating some semblance of consistency at Doc Rivers' disposal. Believe it or not, the second unit actually turned a 14-12 deficit when Garnett sat in the first quarter into a 31-27 advantage when KG returned — thanks in large part to Brandon Bass (9 points).
Doc Rivers announced before Wednesday's game that Rajon Rondo had been cleared to play and would start with Avery Bradley in the Celtics backcourt as the team looks for a defensive spark to turn around its three-game losing streak.
Rondo suffered a bruised right hip against the Clippers on Thursday and missed Saturday's game against the Warriors before returning on Sunday in the loss to the Kings. Rondo sat out Tuesday's practice before working out two hours before Wednesday's game against the Grizzlies and getting cleared to play.
Meanwhile, Bradley is making his season debut after surgery on both shoulders in the offseason. Rivers said before the game there would be no minutes limitations on Bradley in his first appearance of the season.
"I just think the quicker we get to our lineup, the better," Rivers said. "We're going to get to it anyway, so why wait?"
"If he's hurting us, we take him out; if he's playing well, we let him play," said Rivers. "I think it'll be vision, but listen, we gotta play with some kind of pace, offensively and defensively, obviously. So it'll be pretty easy to see."
Rivers said he hasn't paid attention to reports that Bradley will be the key to a turnaround.
"I haven't paid too much attention to all this stuff. Is he [Bill] Russell yet? Or [Bob] Cousy? I don't know," Rivers said. "If that's what [media has] made him, and if he lives up to that, then I'm good with that. I hope everyone's right."
Can Bradley make the rest of the Celtics better defenders?
"If you take one great defensive player and you put him on a team, the team is going to be a better defensive team," Rivers added. "And as important as bigs are, I've always thought, especially if it's a guard that applies pressure, that kinda fuels energy. You see it and it's hard for you not to do it. You got this guy doing it and then, what, are you not going to do anything? It clearly helps. Again, because this is his first game this year, the other players have a 30-game advantage on him as far as timing and stuff, as far as running their stuff. I'm not looking for the world today or tomorrow, even in a week. But it's going to come."
|Even Paul Pierce can't save the Celtics from the Bucks
|12.22.12 at 12:28 am ET
Paul Pierce rescued the Celtics on Wednesday night when he scored 40 points to lead the Celtics over the Cavaliers after Boston blew a 20-point lead to a 5-21 team in the third quarter on their home court.
Pierce scored 35 points Friday but it wasn't enough as the Celtics blew a 10-point lead and lost 99-94 in overtime to the emerging Milwaukee Bucks.
'It's a team game, regardless of how I play," Pierce said. "We've got to do better in stretches. I think when our offense isn't going for long stretches we've got to be able to defend. You know, at the beginning of the fourth quarter we went into the quarter up like seven or eight and we instantly kind of gave away the lead. And that's the kind of case where even though our shots aren't falling, we've got to be able to come down and get stops after stops after stops. And it just comes and goes in stretches right now.'
The Celtics led by 10 in the first half and by eight, 70-62, heading into the fourth. But Milwaukee went on a 21-8 run to take command. Pierce appeared to rescue the Celtics yet again when he drained a 3-pointer with 2.5 seconds left in regulation to force overtime. But in the end, even Pierce couldn't overcome a 1-for-15 night from Jason Terry and a 6-for-22 night from Kevin Garnett.
'That's what we've been saying all year long'¦There's going to be nights when shots won't fall," Pierce said. "And one thing we can control, I think, is our intensity on the defensive end, we are inconsistent. But we just ' a little bit of consistency in that department ' we play well for the most part and we look up there and we shoot 43% or whatnot, but it has to be throughout the whole game more consistency. You know, we can't give up 17-0 runs to Cleveland. We can't give up 10-0 runs to Milwaukee. And then decide that's when we want to play defense.'
The Celtics are now 1-3 against the Bucks and won't play them again this season, unless of course, it's a playoff matchup.
'They have great guard play, and they have pretty good intangibles, you know, they have guys that you really don't expect to play well that really play well," Pierce said. "I mean (Larry) Sanders kind of has been a thorn in my side, (Luc) Mbah a Moute, he's played well the last two games. And you focus so much on their two guards, that what happens: other guys like that step up and carry you.'
|Kevin Garnett on the loss and missed opportunities
|12.21.12 at 11:44 pm ET
Kevin Garnett made just 6 of 22 shots from the field on Friday night as the Celtics lost in overtime to the Milwaukee Bucks 99-94 at TD Garden. Garnett talked about the frustration of losing a game the Celtics had so many open look and had a 10-point lead.

Our family of five (children aged 13, 12 and 10) is planning a five-week United States road trip. We plan to start with three days in New York before heading down to Washington DC, across to the Grand Canyon and on to Chicago for a three-week journey on Route 66. We like the idea of a campervan as our budget is limited. Where can we learn more about RV travel in the US?
- Lesley Reeve
Lonely Planet's Sarah Bennett and Lee Slater write:
This sounds like a wonderful family adventure, and totally achievable in your allotted time.
An RV is an obvious option for you, especially if you avoid peak season and its high prices. We recommend you travel in May and October, but even then a five-week rental will be about US$5000 ($6500), plus up to US$1000 extra for a one-way hire.
Camping facilities in the US are similar to those in New Zealand. National and state parks offer basic communal shelters, fire grates, water supply and so on, although many also have hot showers. There is also a network of commercial campgrounds.
We recommend you buy a Rand McNally road atlas. They are well worth the effort of ordering.
Good online sources about RV rental are driving-distances.com, roadtripamerica.com, byways.org and rvusa.com.

2011 Chevrolet Cruze - Consumer Review

Retro - Just Like GM Cars from 30 Years Ago
By berlinetta on
Vehicle2011 Chevrolet Cruze 2LT 4dr Sedan (1.4L 4cyl Turbo 6A)
ReviewPoor assembly quality (squeaks and rattles) and an indifferent attitude in terms of customer satisfaction have marred my experience with my 2011 Chevrolet Cruze.
After 30 days and 1,000 miles, this is the most disappointing initial new car ownership experience that I've had in 25 years.
This really is a nicely designed small car, fun to drive, and with a great interior.
The back seat is cramped and fuel economy is very disappointing.
Despite a real effort to make a competitive small car, my experience is that GM needs to work harder in terms of executing the details - especially in terms of build quality and customer assistance and satisfaction.
Best FeaturesStylish exterior, fun to drive, very nice interior. Ride is smooth and supple - especially for a small car.
Worst FeaturesFuel economy should be much better. Chevrolet Customer Assistance is located overseas and overall provides very little in terms of support. This is an important car for GM, and to have such poor customer assistance, especially a conquest sale, demonstates they still have a lot to learn in terms of maintining customers. Keep in mind this car is built in the same plant that also built the Vega, Monza, Cavalier and Cobalt. Not exactly a proud heritage of quality domestic small car production - lets hope they learn from the past - build quality does count.

Putin in India to strengthen Indo-Russian economic ties
- Dailybhaskar.com
- Dec 24, 2012, 10:29 AM IST
New Delhi: Russian President Russian President Vladimir Putin arrived in Delhi on Monday on one day visit.
According to media reports, he is expected to meet Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, President Pranab Mukherjee, Congress chief Sonia Gandhi and BJP leader Sushma Swaraj.
Putin visit intends to help cement Russia's position in the growing Indian market and reinvigorate political ties.
Following Putin's talks on Monday with Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and other Indian officials, Moscow and New Delhi will sign agreements on trade, science, education and law enforcement.
While the volume of Russian-Indian trade has risen sixfold since 2000 and is expected to reach USD 10 billion this year, the growth has slowed in recent years. And even though India remains the Number 1 customer for Russia's arms industries, Moscow has recently lost several multibillion-dollar contracts to Western weapons-makers.
Russia and India have shared close ties since the Cold War, when Moscow was a key ally and the principal arms supplier to New Delhi. The ties slackened after the collapse of the Soviet Union, but grew stronger again after Putin came to power in 2000, seeking to revive Moscow's global clout and restore ties with old allies.
Russia has maintained its strong positions in the Indian market with $30 billion worth of arms contracts with India signed in 2000-2010 that envisaged supplies of hundreds of fighter jets, missiles, tanks and other weapons, a large part of which were license-produced in India. The countries have cooperated on building an advanced fighter plane and a new transport aircraft and have jointly developed a supersonic cruise missile for the Indian Navy.
But the military cooperation has hit snags in recent years, as New Delhi shops increasingly for Western weapons. The Indians also haven't been always happy with the quality of Russian weapons and their rising prices.

transistions & titles in IMOVIE
Can sometime tell me how you can get the titles and transistions into the movie. I get the preview button on but not the update and there is no way to drag the clip into the timeline. Help please. I'm a FCP user but just trying to learn Imovie.
Which version of iMovie are you using?
I just created a VCD last night from some iMovies I made. I used quite a few titles and transitions.
I use iMovie 2, BTW.
To do the Titles over the images/movie, select the movie in the timeline that you want to put it on (It should become yellow), then click and drag the title you want onto that movie. It will render on top of that movie as one clip.
As for transitions, you should be able to do the same thing. Drag and drop. If it does not work, again choose the clip you want and place the transtition where you want it…before or after. I have found this to be the best solution for getting effects and stuff to work properly.
Remember what Obi-Wan said to Luke: "Oops! There goes your shirt!"
Silent Hill Resorts - A forum for the intelligent, mature Silent Hill fan to visit.
You can't just drag a title anywhere onto the iMovie timeline and expect it start rendering. You drag a title onto an edit point just like a transition.
If there is no edit point, make one.
Karate ni sente nashi
I think Spider meant just drag the title button onto a clip that you have selected in the timeline. Works for me!
It's about FREEDOM.
- [ Ignore ]
Here's a really good site to help you with this and many other questions about iMovie.
Yes, by all means, drag it onto a selected clip but be aware the title will only build at the beginning of the selected clip. If you want the title halfway through the clip, position the playhead where you want it, then split the clip (command-T).

Luke Donald is in danger of missing the cut at the Malaysian Open after three bogeys in the first four holes left him nine shots off the clubhouse lead.
The world No3 is the star attraction at the Kuala Lumpur Golf and Country Club and arrived in confident mood after finishing fourth in the Tampa Bay Championship.
But the Englishman goes into tomorrow's second round with plenty of work to do after a two‑over-par 74.
Starting from the 10th, Donald dropped three shots in a row from the 11th and, after chipping in for birdie from short of the first green, ran up a double-bogey six on the second after pitching into a greenside bunker.
He then missed good birdie chances on the next two holes before holing from six feet on the fifth and closing with a birdie on the ninth.
Kiradech Aphibarnrat of Thailand set the early pace with a 65, one shot ahead of a group of players including Italy's Edoardo Molinari, who has not made a halfway cut all season.

Date of Stay: March, 2006
All back in sites. Long timers are located in the back of the park. Located on a major street next to Disneyland, so there's a lot of noise. Heard sirens several times a day. Get a double site for your tow or extra vehicle since the back-in spaces are only about 40 feet in depth. Wi-Fi worked for a few hours, and never worked again. No refunds either.
Date of Stay: February, 2006
Staff was very nice, escorts to site. A little tight getting to some sites with our 40' 5th Wheel. They offer some deluxe pull through sites on concrete which are better and longer, but they are at a preminum to get. We stayed there for almost a month. Their Wi-Fi worked fine most of the time. Would stay there again.
Date of Stay: February, 2006
OK for a metro site. Daily rate is more for weekends. Big draw here is Disneyland. Across from elementary school and apartments. Had terrible experience with Wi-Fi (Tengo-internet) no refunds, each call to customer support was minimum wait of at least 25 minutes, and all they do is take your complaint and forward it on.

Compulsory features for the replicating molecules of life (DNA and RNA) include five-carbon sugars, namely deoxyribose for DNA and ribose for RNA. These sugars form the backbone of DNA and RNA. Thus, for a naturalistic explanation for the origin of life to become a possibility, some nonbiological source of five-carbon sugars must be found.
For several decades scientists have scoured both the Earth and the universe in a fruitless search for natural five-carbon sugars. The closest they have come is the discovery of a trace amount of a two-carbon sugar (glycolaldehyde) in just one dense interstellar molecular cloud near the center of the Milky Way Galaxy.1 The fractional abundance compared to the most common interstellar molecule (H2) was only 5.9 x 10-11.
Meanwhile, under controlled laboratory conditions biochemists have successfully synthesized small amounts of ribose through what is called the "formose reaction." The problem is that none of these laboratory synthesis experiments correspond to conditions found in nature.
In a recently published paper in Astrobiology a team of Mexican and American astronomers for the first time made a "sugar" under conditions known to exist in the dense interstellar molecular cloud that resides at the galactic center.
Thus, any remaining hope for finding a natural source of five-carbon sugars, at least at an abundance level that would have some significance for the origin of life, is even more firmly dashed than it was before. With no natural chemical pathway for making adequate and stable enough amounts of the necessary sugars, a supernatural explanation for life's origin must be considered.

I'm as spiritual as the next new-ager, but I'm struggling with the life charge to find and live as your "authentic self." For my non-spirit-seeking friends that means, dig deep inside, find your ugly truths and live them. To take it further; outer reality is illusion and only what we know and feel inside, is real. But that's a tangent.
The pay-off is to live a life of intermittent bliss because you find and meet your needs with commitment. It can be a life of ultimate satisfaction because you do what you really want to do, and you don't do what you really don't want to do. Authentic life people don't ask for your opinion much because frankly, they are not operating for social approval and comment. In short, they don't give a shit what you think.
So here's the art in my struggle. My authentic self seems to have multiple personalities. Let's label them with letters. I can't think of cute names.
Authentic Me A- loves the arts, live theater, symphony, jazz, R&B, light rock, comedy shows, and the night life.
Authentic Me B- loves to have time to myself driving through the mountains, past the ocean or around the wine country, loving nature with no one to ruin it with, well… talking or sharing the air in the car.
Authentic Me C- loves, loves spending time with the lush man, laughing, talking, having a fine meal or a good wine and feeling the warm calm of being with that wonderful man.
Authentic Me D- loves the angst of working on my second book, loves the mental contortions and feeling of failure that gives the process drama and richness.
Authentic Me E- you get the picture.
With all due respect to my spirit guides, this authentic-thing is tough. For a journey to inner peace it sure as hell troubles the soul.
Maybe the Authentic Self is made up of the many pieces of ourselves accumulated over time and life. Change and pain have rounded some rough edges and refined our choices and tastes. But if life is altering what we want; have we then lost our inner truth, i.e. authenticity?
And are these rhetorical questions a bit too irritating to ponder? It could be that the best way to be authentic is to know when to embrace your truth and when to fall into the ignorant bliss of superficial conformity for a break from deep thinking… a cave of ignorance for a mental vacay. I think all of my Authentic Selves, with the exception of B, would like this.

I have received 4 magazines for only paying shipping and handling for 1 year.
After 1 year I cancelled all 4 magazines through their automated phone system. I even received confirmation numbers. That was my mistake. Even though I cancelled my subscription, what I really did was cancelling <future billins> according their rep.
What's future billing?
When they say they cancelled your future billing, don't be fooled. You are still charged. YOU DID NOT CANCEL SUBSCRIPTION.
What a dirty business trick.

Rebecca Mapes started smoking at 15. In the 35 years since, she has quit several times, but this time, she said, she is done for good. Mapes credits her new resolve in part to an Executive Order from Governor John Kitzhaber that will make most state properties tobacco free next year.
"Smokers know the habit is bad – there's nothing good about it. The Governor's ban just helps push that desire to quit a little further. My plan is to stop by January 1," said Mapes, a Community-Based Care Policy Analyst for the Department of Human Services.
Governor Kitzhaber's Executive Order will ban all tobacco use on most state properties on Jan. 1, and will create a single statewide policy to transition the state to tobacco-free status by the end of 2013. Creating tobacco-free environments is a key strategy to improve the health of employees, clients and visitors to state properties.
Besides the smoking initiative, Mapes says cost is another motivator for her to quit. She has been spending about $150 a month on cigarettes. And, her boyfriend, who has never smoked, wants her to quit.
"There has also been the socialization aspect of smoking with others in the building," she said. "The ban will disband that and that's another reason for me to quit."
The Oregon Tobacco Quit Line is a free, telephone and web-based program that helps callers quit tobacco. It offers free confidential, evidence-based counseling and materials. Callers may be eligible for nicotine patches or gum.
The Quit Line is open seven days a week, 4:00 a.m. to 12:00 a.m. (Pacific time)

Where do I begin? I am a combination of the prior 2 reports. $3000. gone with Dwayne. I am also a single working mom. I was not dating Dwayne at the time, but wanted to purchase a car for my 17 YEAR OLDS BIRTHDAY!
I shared my fears of being taken advantage of and really needing to trust Dwayne. Of course, he reasurred me all was well and he would take such good care of me and treat this deal as if it were for his own daughter. Long story and a lot of lies later. I have no car and nothing to show for the money.
What kind of man preys on single moms and kids...and talks about the Lord while doing it? Wow, got to be a reserved parking spot in hell for such folks! I did call his mama, and told her what he was up to with multiple women. Also going to the local newspaper and tv station. Hope this helps someone else...I googled a little too late.

May 24, 2017
By Laurie Brookins | May 1, 2010 | Style & Beauty
Adam Sandler came calling recently—and Sarah Mutch had to turn him down. "I booked a part in his new film but then couldn't get my work visa coordinated that quickly," says the 25-year-old Canadian beauty. "I was pretty devastated, not just because it was Adam Sandler, but also because I would love to work on a comedy. It was like having a winning lottery ticket, and then someone takes it away from you."
You probably recognize Mutch's sultry looks from a variety of highprofile editorials (including covers of Italian Vogue and Maxim) and ad campaigns, most notably Guess, a label known for vaulting models into acting. "It definitely puts you on a high-profile stage," affirms Mutch, who has transitioned her career into gigs both small-screen—TV's Stargate Universe, Smallville and Supernatural—and big, including her latest, Funkytown. Set in 1970s Montreal, Funkytown explores the birth of the disco-club scene and the seedy underpinnings that in hindsight are all too recognizable. "I play Adriana, a girl who wants to launch a singing career, but her story turns out to be a bit more Milli Vanilli-esque," Mutch says.
Other projects are in the works, but at press time Mutch had to keep mum on the details. She's based in Los Angeles, but once this year's pilot season wrapped, she headed straight to New York, where she recently signed with top-tier agency IMG, another decision rooted in propelling her career forward. "I've been modeling since I was 14, and I knew if acting was going to be where I was headed, I had to get really focused on that." Still, you will see her in Miami, where she'll happily trek for modeling jobs because she "loves, loves" the city. (She's also been romantically linked to Miami Beach's Wayne Boich, scion of the Ohio-based coal and energy conglomerate.)
All of which means Mutch may be trading in her Canadian passport for an American citizenship sometime in the near future, and then she won't have to say no should Adam Sandler call again. "Oh, yeah, becoming an American is a big priority right now," she says with a laugh. "The meetings with lawyers are taking place even as we speak."

I've had a problem with arthritis in my hands and knees for quite some time. One finger on my right hand was "locked-up" almost every morning.

Aug. 4, 2011GUTIERREZ ARCHIVE
RAIDERS PAGE RAIDERS VIDEOFollow @PGutierrezCSN
Paul Gutierrez
CSNCalifornia.comPractice No. 7Summary: With the players union re-certifying itself and voting to ratify the new Collective Bargaining Agreement early Thursday afternoon, the Raiders had a larger complement of players at their disposal. The veterans who agreed to contracts with the team after the lockout ended were finally allowed to practice, giving the Raiders 83 players on their training camp roster. But one big name is still missing, that of restricted free agent Michael Bush, who has yet to sign his first- and third-round tenders. Plus, there were so many guys nicked up that didn't suit up. The offense again got the better of the defense for the second day in a row, even if the defense showed what is likely to be its starting 11 come opening night in Denver. Yes, it was the Denarius Moore show again.
Injury report: Fifteen players sat out practice with various "nicks," receivers Jacoby Ford (broken left hand), Louis Murphy and Eddie McGhee, fullback James McCluskey, tailbacks Taiwan Jones, Michael Bennett and Darren McFadden (fractured eye socket), offensive linemen Cooper Carlisle, Bruce Campbell (knee), Lou Eiliades and Alan Pelc, defensive backs Chimdi Chekwa (shoulder), Walter McFadden and Joe Porter and defensive end Trevor Scott (knee). Plus, linebacker Rolando McClain, cornerback Walter McFadden and quarterback Jason Campbell did not finish practice.Offensive play of the day: A day after putting together a highlight reel tape against cornerback Stanford Routt, rookie receiver Denarius Moore delivered again. This time, running a post from 25 yards out, an outstretched Moore went up and, between Stevie Brown and DeMarcus Van Dyke, plucked Jason Campbell's pass out of the air. Moore came down with both feet in the end zone for the touchdown, just in front often goalpost. It was as impressive as it was physical.Defensive play of the day: While a healthy Chaz Schilens has been the most impressive wideout thus far in camp, "forgotten" cornerback Chris Johnson owned him on one play. With Schilens running a short curl, Johnson cut in front of him and intercepted Jason Campbell's pass. For a split second, when Johnson's No. 37 flashed for the pick, it looked like Lester Hayes and gobs of stickum flying into the picture. Almost.Eye on reps: With all of their players finally available, the defense took on a familiar look. On the line, Lamarr Houston, Tommy Kelly, Richard Seymour and Matt Shaughnessy. Quentin Groves, Rolando McClain and Kamerion Wimbley were the linebackers. And Stanford Routt and Chris Johnson were the cornerbacks while Tyvon Branch and Michael Huff were the safeties.Rookie report: Center Stefen Wisniewski's baptism by fire continued in an especially grueling session in which he went one-on-one with the Raiders' fearsome three-headed monster of Richard Seymour, John Henderson and Tommy Kelly. All in a day's work for the Raiders legacy. Especially since he's more than holding his own.Notable: With the Raiders entering the day anywhere from 14 million to 17 million over the cap, reportedly, and the players ratifying the new CBA in time to officially start the new league year, the 1 p.m. deadline for teams to get under the 120-million salary cap was pushed back 24 hours. "We will be in compliance," said Raiders coach Hue Jackson. "(Al Davis) knows that cap as well as anybody in this league." As such, there was no movement in the Kevin Boss talks, though reports came out that Stanford Routt and Richard Seymour both re-structured their contracts to help out. Neither, though, confirmed as much.Quotable: "Well, you know, I always remain, Hey, I don't talk about contracts and, uh, anything like that. But, you know, I'll be ready for Game 1, so." - Defensive tackle Richard Seymour on if he's re-structured his contract to help the Raiders' salary cap woes.Next practice: Friday, 3:30 p.m.

Kendra Wilkinson drinks cum in hardcore group sexMonday, April 18th, 2016
Living in the Playboy Mansion has its perks, well, a lot of perks. It is being that animalistic chick all-year 'round with no restraints and if you're lucky enough, you could even catch the fancy of the ultimate Playboy himself, Hugh Hefner. This was exactly the fate of Kendra Wilkinson when she got married to Hefner from 2004 to 2008. She was the envy of every grieving pussy in the mansion, no doubt, and every single one wanted the same thing, probably why the union didn't last long. Just like any Playboy Playmate, though she was never one, these girls only come on top on certain months of the year and then they get dethroned somehow and some hotter bitch will take their place beside Hefner's daddy throne.
So, when Wilkinson's marriage with Hefner ended, she did have some depressing moments in her life as well even if people often would say it's pretty predictable and that she's only after the old man's money. She denies the allegations and firmly implied that there was love there and that there are just some other skanks who can't keep their cunts off his crotch. Bu just after a week of break up depression, she's already back on track with her hardcore ways. She hooks up with three of her co-Playboy playmates every now and then to pick up where they left off. She missed getting banged with a young stiff dick in her cunt and ass because she says it felt more 'in there' and that it's sure to give her enough jizz to drink unlike an old man's cock that's all dried up and can't even stay hard for 10 seconds. She hasn't forgotten how to have fun and she's got a lot to thank for while she's at that literally fucking mansion.

So, I have been writing a science paper (more of a book than anything else) on the subject of computer vision, and approximating 3D scenes through still images. I have almost all the algorithms down and working, except 1 piece.
I need to know how I could possibly calculate the normals of a mesh through a screen space approximation. Others seem to have done this before, but I can't find a decent explanation of how. Can someone link me to a few papers, or perhaps even just explain it to me?
As soon as I finish this, I'll be able to finish my my paper (book).
Not entirely sure if this should go under AI, since its more graphics than computer vision.
Thanks for your time!

While we debate what happens next for Peyton Manning, we should remember that the Indianapolis Colts also have a future.
The team is certainly diminished by the loss of one of the greatest players in any sport. But at some point the black crepe gets taken down and life goes on.
PEYTON MANNING: All eyes turn to his future
ELI MANNING: What role will the little brother play?
And the future is not all bleak. The last time the Colts had the No. 1 pick, and chose a quarterback, it worked out brilliantly for 14 years.
So the Peyton Manning era will give way to the Andrew Luck era. And fans of the Colts will mourn the first and embrace the second along with a new coach and front office.
There are no guarantees in life and so Luck may not throw for 54,000 yards, 399 TDs and be a four-time MVP.
But long-time Colts fans also know that "Year 1 of Peyton Manning" ended up at 3-13. The next year was 13-3. Of course there was also Super Bowl XLI in 2007.
So how do you see the Colts future these days?
While we're staring into the crystal ball, here is some good work by some good people that we might have missed while sleeping or picking apart the resumes of teams on the bubble.

Why It's Good To Talk About Miscarriages
Miscarriages are fairly common. One in seven pregnancies end in miscarriage and the number increases as women age.
Many women experience great emotional loss with miscarriage and despite the fact that miscarriage is a very natural part of pregnancy, it is widely misunderstood and rarely talked about.
Karen Gibbons was 29 when she had her first miscarriage and she says that she and her husband felt very much alone because they did not tell anyone about it.
"No one knew what we were going through and other than my husband, I didn't really have anyone to turn to," Gibbons told Here & Now's Jeremy Hobson. "I would sometimes just burst into tears for what other people saw as no reason, or somebody would tell me that they were pregnant and I'd have to leave the room because I could feel the tears starting. So that was difficult, putting [ourselves] in that position with no support system."
Since then, Gibbons has miscarried twice more and also has given birth to two sons, 8-year-old Neil and 4-year-old John. She says the medical system was not very compassionate when she miscarried. She now has changed careers — she has just finished nursing school. She hopes to counsel couples and help them through pregnancy.
"I will tell them that they should allow themselves to grieve," she said. "Don't let anyone set a timeline for you, don't let anyone tell you that you don't have the right to grieve. This was your child — this was your hopes and your dreams, and you have every right to grieve that."
Gibbons also wants to help couples avoid the difficulties she faced in her first two miscarriages.
"I would encourage them to also make sure they have a support system in place, make sure they have friends and family that can support them," she said. "I would encourage them to consider looking into a support group, because there is healing in telling your story."

Security of U.S. Passports Called Into Question
Why Are Key Components Outsourced To Country In Turmoil?
By Matthew Mosk, Matthew Cole, Brian Ross and John Solomon | Center For Public Integrity and ABC News
GPO's inspector general has warned that the agency lacks even the most basic security plan for ensuring that blank e-Passports -- and their highly sought technologies – aren't stolen by terrorists, foreign spies, counterfeiters and other bad actors as they wind through an unwieldy manufacturing process that spans the globe and includes 60 different suppliers.
The U.S. government agency that prints passports has for years failed to resolve persistent concerns about the security risks involved in outsourcing production to foreign factories, a joint investigation by ABC News and the Center for Public Integrity has found. Read more.

The AFA makes clear what it feels the boycott is and is not about.
What the boycott of McDonald's IS NOT aboutI'm not sure how this is the "full weight" of McDonald's, personally. In late May, the AFA wrote a letter in late May protesting the lack of condemnation, and McDonald's responded (.PDF).
This boycott is not about hiring homosexuals.
It is not about homosexuals eating at McDonald's.
It is not about how homosexual employees are treated.
What the boycott of McDonald's IS about
It is about McDonald's, as a corporation, refusing to remain neutral in the culture wars. McDonald's has chosen not to remain neutral but to give the full weight of their corporation to promoting the homosexual agenda, including homosexual marriage.
In their response, Pal Harris, Global Chief Diverslty Officer said:
Our founder Ray Kroc once said. "None of us is as good as all of us." At McDonald's we believe that sentiment still holds true today, and is best reflected in action; specifically, with our strong and longtime commitment to our People through diversity and inclusion. This is a core value of McDonald's.That rebuff, of course, led to the creation of the website and the call for a boycott.
We treat our employees and our customers with respect and dignity, regardless of their ethnicity, religious beliefs, sexual orientation or other factors. Wc support our employees' personal involvement in organizations of their choice.
McDonald's is a trusted and well-respected neighbor, employer and corporate citizen in communities across the U.S. We will continue to support our people and their right to live and work in an inclusive society.
Shoot, let's just add this criticism to the already existing "agenda" McDonald's has of fattening up everyone. Let's not forget that McDonald's is a global enterprise, and most other countries, including that neighbor of the U.S. to the north, are far more tolerant than the U.S.
In point of fact, it's good to see McDonald's take a stand; isn't it the right of everyone to stand up for their beliefs and not be bullied? And it's doubtful this will make a difference to their bottom line. In fact, many would say that controversial publicity is better than no publicity.

Papua New Guinea's cheery hospitality eclipses the islands' reputation for fierceness, says Jim Eagles.
The trader outside the gate to the Madang port area had a huge pile of penis sheaths and a clever technique for selling them.
"Hello, sir," he said to any male tourist wandering into town. "Would you like to buy a penis sheath? Genuine traditional. Very good souvenir."
"For you," he would add, looking in fake admiration at his customer while selecting an enormous sheath, "it must be this."
I'm sure it usually worked very well but this time the target's wife joined in the fun, chose a very small sheath and observed acerbically, "I think more like this, don't you, dear?"
Amid the general merriment the potential buyers wandered away, leaving the trader offering a confused explanation about sheath dimensions being related to tribal tradition rather than status or physical size.
Markets anywhere in Papua New Guinea are interesting but Madang offers a more diverse range of goods than most - it is at the end of the great Highlands Highway, and so draws from both the highlands and the coastal areas.
This particular trader's penis sheaths, for instance, were in a wide range of styles, from decorated gourds - the usual, traditional variety - to carved wood, some sort of bone, assorted ruminant horns and what looked like woven palm leaves.
His display was part of a souvenir mini-market, no doubt attracted to the port area by the arrival of about 100 tourists like me from the expedition ship Orion.
Alongside him other traders were selling carvings in several styles, a magnificent collection of shells, woven mats, brightly coloured bilum (string) bags, bark paintings and shell necklaces.
Not far away, in the middle of town in the spacious central market complex, there's an even bigger array of goods, though aimed more at locals than tourists.
In the main covered area is just about every fruit and vegetable known to mankind, much of it from the incredibly fertile soils of the Highlands, with piles of pineapple and sweet potato, cassava and cabbage, peas and pandanus nuts, taro and tomato, silverbeet and sago, coffee and coconuts.
A smaller pavilion holds the rather less mouthwatering - to visitors - tables of meat and fish including species and bodyparts that you wouldn't find in New Zealand supermarkets.
The leafy trees which flourish in the grounds around the market buildings house the clothing department, with rows of shoes on the ground, secondhand T-shirts from Australia neatly pressed and displayed on plastic sheets, and colourful dresses hanging from wire display frames and billowing in the breeze, while below them smiling women transform brightly dyed string into bilum bags.
Around the boundary fence is the souvenir section with carvings, shell and seed necklaces, bark paintings, pigs' tooth pendants and more bilum bags - but no penis sheaths - hanging from the wire mesh.
An even better place to see souvenirs is the replica spirit house in the grounds of the Madang Resort Hotel nearby, where local traders offer an amazing array of artefacts, from ferocious spears and scary wooden masks to charming necklaces and cute carved animals.
Close by is the local equivalent of a McDonald's, an area of park where people from nearby islands paddle in each morning bringing fresh produce - small, sweet fish, peppers, yams, cassava and bright yellow marrows - cook over open fires and spread the food out on banana leaves.
Around lunchtime all the office and shop workers from downtown Madang converge on the park, buy snacks and sit in the shade of the trees for lunch. The food looked so delicious I was almost sorry that a buffet lunch awaited on board Orion.
The great attraction of all these places is that the people are so friendly. For instance, when I signalled to a woman using a palm-leaf to keep flies off her display of goodies that I wanted to take a photo, she gave a huge smile.
"Welcome," she replied, then checked if the pose was satisfactory. "Is this okay for you? I can move." Similarly, when I wanted to take a picture of a woman selling dresses at the main market, she quickly picked up a bilum bag she was making, explaining, "Is a better photo for you."
Up in the Highlands, where the locals have a reputation for being feisty, the traders selling vegetables and nuts on a plot of waste ground near Mt Hagen Airport seemed delighted to see a visitor - and the mere sight of a camera was enough to draw big smiles.
Over the road in the airport parking area the fire fence glowed like a rainbow because of all the woven bilum bags on display.
I actually wanted a picture of just the bags but it was hard to achieve because all the traders were keen to be photographed.
"Hey, take my photo, I am making this bag," called one lady, waving her half-completed bag in my direction. "Mister, see my hat," cried another who was selling the distinctive woven Highlands caps.
The great advantage of a digital camera is that it's easy to make people happy by taking their pictures and letting them see it on the screen. No one seemed to mind that I had no plans to buy anything.
Even in the capital, Port Moresby, which has a scary reputation, I enjoyed a pleasant stroll around a couple of the unofficial markets which seem to spring up on any unoccupied piece of land, and the traders there were uniformly friendly.
In fact, the only sign of trouble came at the big market in the Highlands town of Tari where, alongside the usual piles of vegetables and clothes for sale, men were throwing darts at boards hanging on poles, apparently in the hope of winning prizes.
Seeing my interest in their contest, several of the players called out to have their photo taken. But when I produced my camera the proprietor of this gambling parlour emerged shaking his fist. "No, no," he shouted angrily. "No camera. You go away."
Fair enough. I don't believe in photographing someone without permission. And it just goes to show you can meet grumpy shopkeepers anywhere.

Softball-size rock thrown at vehicle in Palm Springs
6-year-old girl hurt by shattered glass
PALM SPRINGS, Calif. - Police are looking for at least two suspects who they believe are responsible for throwing rocks and hitting a car on Highway 111 in Palm Springs.
Palm Springs police responded at about 1 a.m. Saturday when they learned a softball-size rock broke through the right rear passenger window of a sedan traveling on Highway 111, about a quarter-mile north of Gateway Drive.
Police say a woman from Orange County was driving her sleeping 13-year-old and 6-year-old daughters to the Palm Springs area when the rock shattered the window.
The rock ended up wedged into the right rear seat, an inch above the head of the 6-year-old child. The shattered glass left the 6-year-old child with a minor cut to the foot.
The mother drove to a safe location and immediately notified police. If you have any information regarding this rock-throwing incident, you're urged to contact the Palm Springs Police Department at 760-323-8115 or Valley Crime Stopper at 760-341-STOP.

They feel he received a lenient sentence after admitting a child sex offence.
Mallon received a 21-month jail sentence in March, but now the US District Attorney's Office in Chicago has filed a notice of appeal with the court.
The prosecution had argued for a 51-month sentence.
Mallon admitted using an internet chatline to contact a girl called "Marny" who turned out to be an undercover FBI agent.
The 62-year-old was acting chief executive of the Ulster-Scots Agency until his arrest last March in Chicago.
He escaped the maximum sentence of more than four years in prison after the judge ruled he was suffering a "diminished capacity".
The father of five from Crumlin in County Antrim told the court he was
hallucinating when he used the internet chatline in February last year.
'Persuaded by vision'
He sent the "girl" 17 emails in 24 minutes and claimed to be a rich 42-year-old president of a biotech company.
Mallon was arrested in Chicago after arranging to meet her in his hotel room while on his way to a conference in Washington.
Judge Joan Gottschall at the US District Court in Chicago
ruled his behaviour was an "aberration" from his otherwise law-abiding life.
Mallon said his hallucinations led him to believe his son-in-law had appeared to him and told him to contact the girl, the court heard.
The prosecutor's office has 60 days to submit the paperwork, but it is known it disagrees with the judge on matters of law and characterises its appeal as "a reaction to her sentence ruling".
It can take more than six months for an appeal to be heard, however it could be fast-tracked because Mallon is scheduled for release before the end of this year.
Mallon's Belfast-based solicitor expressed concern that the sex offender's sentence was to be challenged by US authorities.
In a statement, Kevin Winters said he was concerned "at the timing of this announcement and the motivation behind it".
He said any attempt to increase the sentence would be strenuously challenged.

Laying "new" wood floor next to sloping old floor
During our remodel of an 1850's farm house we've realized how much the floors slope. Originally we had planned to do tile, however, the floor would need alot of beefing up and logistically its just going to be a pain.
We have almost decided to lay "old" wood in the kitchen. We can get matching lots from a local second chance home salvage for $1 SF.
The problem is the floor slopes the center, and to the left. The kitchen addition floor is going to be releveled and rebuilt, so that the cabinets sit right.
The half walls in the picture are going to be torn out, my question is how to make the floors meet up properly either by laying thinner sections of wood or something? We are trying to figure out something.
There are diagrams and pictures of the area along with the slope over distance here:
I would be looking hard to find the reason why the floors are sloping. Fixing this might solve all you problems, or create others if you have to jack up the house.
The house was built in 1850, and all the floors slope slightly to the center. The house is on a stone foundation, that overall is in great condition, needs some minor repointing. The floors are all original wood, and we would like to save them.
If not there is some failure in the foundation and I would look hard to find that. More that likely it will continue and trying to adjust for it will be very expensive and time consuming.
well, we just purchased the house, and had a standard home inspection.
Can you call a foundation inspector, or do such inspectors exist?
If the foundation needs repaired, I assume we will have to live with the floors, but I would at least like the foundation fixed if its failed.
I assumed it was just due to settling, and so have all the contractors, and the inspector said.
If the inspector said it was fine I have no reason to say anything different since he was there looking at it and I was not.
But sloping floors are a big red flag to me.
If you are intent on moving ahead with your project I would suggest some leveling compound. Trying to get this level by making each tile a custom fit would be a nightmare.
But if the floors are sloping and you use leveling compound then your doors might have to be shaved to fit. Then the transition would be off and you would have a slight step at the door jamb.
Have you done any measurements to see how much the floor slopes?
Do all your doors close properly? My guess is that if they do they have been shaved to make them close.
I've worked on many homes of that era and all have a similar problem. If the slop is towards the center then the settling isn't usually a foundation issue as much as it is failed/missing support in the center of the main joists. Try putting a straight 2x4x8 up against one down in the basement to check for level. My guess, and that's all it is from here, is that you can probably solve most of your sagging floor issues by s-l-o-w-l-y raising the floor back up.
The reason I say slowly and what I mean by that is it's taken 150 yrs to get to where it is. The last thing you want to do is jack it back up quickly. I level a floor by jacking in small increments (1/8") over several months. Let everything relax for a week and then raise it again. This keeps plaster walls from cracking, usually, and allows all the mating timber to get back to where they were years ago.
Even if you choose to just add a sub-floor and make it level from the top you still should support that area in the basement.
In either case I would find 2 contractors that have done this type of work and get prices, more importantly, ask them how they are going to do it and how long it will take them.
Probably not what you wanted to hear but again, just my 2¢ on what works for me.
From the back sill to the center the floor drops about 1.5 inches over 8ft.
Pictures and drawings are here.
The joists are 15.5 ft long, on 24" centers, the house has no termite damage.
Shamus thanks.... hmm. Thats interesting. I would almost rather leave them sloped for now, I feel like we would have alot of repair work to do. Its definately something we will look into.
If I owned the house I would focus on this issue before doing anything else. If you do any other work that will most likely have to be redone if the remedy for the sloping floor is to jack up the house.
As Shamus said, get a pro in there to assess the situation. Estimates are generally free and it would help you sleep better at night knowing that everything is square.
My guess is that there needs to be some leveling and shoring up of the foundation.
I can't tell from your pictures what the dimensions of the joists are but they look like full thickness 2x6's or 2x8's.
If they are 2x6's then some work should be done to shore it up as the spans for 2x6's with 24 inch centers should be no more than 10 feet.
If they are 2x8's there maximum span should be no more than 13 feet.
Even 2x10's are barely allowed to span 15.5 feet at 24 inch centers.
You can go here and look for yourself. I calculated it using doug fir.
Looking at your pic's I'd say they were indeed full 2X8's. I have never seen a span of more than 10' without a column support on a house from that era. Very unusual. 24" centers are unusual at least around here, anyway. Is there a bearing wall involved in that area as well?
I can't stress enough what others have said. Adding shims to level out that 1 1/2" dip isn't the answer. If you want to bring up the floor in the future you'll have to tear out any work you do today. Even if you only bring it up an inch or 1 1/8", that's better than letting it droop. And it may not be done moving.
I apologize for preaching here, it's an expense you hadn't planned on most likely and whatever way you go it is your choice. Many things can cause or add to the condition your seeing. Plumbers cut into joists to run plumbing for bathrooms, electricians and HVAC guys cut them as well. Furniture and appliances are heavier. Just a cause and effect thing.
As a disclaimer here, the trades mentioned above, professional or otherwise once did things because that was what was an accepted practice. Long before code and long before lawsuits were common.
Call in an experienced pro and get some experienced eyes and ideas. It may be a cost trade-off, basement support Vs subfloor leveling.
Whatever direction you decide on, best of luck to you.
Shamus thanks for the advice.
I took a level downstairs last night and put it on the bottoms of the beams, each beam is level, even though there is a slight slant"slant" Beam to beam is pretty level as well maybe between an 1/16 and 1/8. I was only there for a min so I will have to take some more detailed measurements and notes.
As far as getting someone to fix that, would I call a foundation person, a floor person? Is there a specific title/trade
The beams are 2.5-3.5 inches thick depending on the beam.
Start with the phone book and look for ad's stating many years in construction. Call them and ask if they get involve in that type of work and how many they've done. Then I'd try local lumber yards. They tend to know who's doing what projects and can offer suggestions on who might be interested. Also, Id ask the contractors, if they don't get involved in that type of work, who could they suggest you call for help.
Explain in general terms what you think the issue might be and say you need some professional help resolving the problem.
You need to check the joists along the length from one support end to the other for the bow in the basement. 1 1/2" on top means you should see the same thing below.
Sight unseen, if it's a short distance between where the floor starts to sag from one side to the other it may be a matter of jacking across several basement joists with a single post or column to correct it.
I agree with Shamus. Find out why the floor is sagging before doing anything else.
Just about any homebuilding carpenter who has been in business for a few years will be able to check it out. Call around and tell them what you have going on and ask for a bid to fix it. Most often they will come out for free or for a small fee.

Central Illinois Goes Hollywood
MT. ZION - The very first film studio in Central Illinois is under construction.
The studio is bringing Hollywood to Mt. Zion. Eyewitness News Reporter Kelsey Gibbs has the story.
What was once an old grade school is now an upcoming work of art. So far, it doesn't look like much, but Heroic Age Art and Film Studios is creating the area's first production film studio.
"We were looking for a place where we can build a sound stage. Something big enough, so the gymnasium/cafeteria provided us with that."
It's an opportunity to bring movie making to other parts of the state besides Chicago.
"Start to get some of those things you can only see in a bigger city. If you come through one place, you may never see any pottery wheels or people welding or painting furniture."
Creative director Eric Hector says it's a place to create top-notch independent films which can give people a taste of Hollywood.
"Television commercials, independent films and corporate video. Everything from live action to animation."
Not only will it bring in Central Illinois' first film studio, but it will give the community a chance to experience the arts.
"For a small community to have this many options and exposure for kids and other people to come and see this, you know is priceless."
The Heroic Age Art Center houses a number of local art businesses from pottery to photography.
"We have potters and we have painters and we have photographers, so anybody looking to do studio art or create art or to sell art or to teach art can have a little room for that. They can do so an art collective."
The film studio should be completed by this time next year. A small movie theater will be built on site which will host private screenings. The company has been in town for more than 20 years.

It came down to two contenders at a meeting of the World Petroleum Council in Calgary. But when the third and final round of voting was done, delegates had picked Istanbul over Houston.
The vote means the loss to Houston of about $10 million worth of direct economic expenditures. That's not counting indirect spending and potential deal-making tied to the event. Greg Ortale is president and CEO of the Greater Houston Convention and Visitors Bureau.
"I was really, really humbled by the level of support that we got from the Houston industry, the oil and gas industry. They were just terrific. We personally presented bids to the voters in fifty-eight countries. We traveled 366,000 miles. So, there's not much more that we could have done, I don't believe, to get the victory."
Istanbul bid for the World Petroleum Congress three times previously without success. Ortale says that may have played a role in the delegates' decision. Houston hosted the event in 1987, the last time it took place in the United States. The next congress will take place in 2014 in Moscow.

Town Square
Original post made by Easy Street Union, Danville, on Aug 26, 2013
Here it comes again people. Dah, we spent more than we took in. Dah, we mortgaged the future benefits. Dah, we paid another consultant to tell us we are going broke. Let's get this straight. The county board of supervisors at the whim of the unions over generously gave too much to the salaries and benefits of the entire fire personnel for too long. Spending another few hundred grand on another study is dumb. The same results will again come to light. What do you call people who do the same thing over and over with the same result but expecting a different result? Contra Costa County Supervisors is the answer. The unions have cruised with the high life for many years. Ask them to bail us out or lets go bankrupt. This tune is getting real old. Using demands, scare tactics, and threats makes me sick. Do what needs to be done and stop using our dollars wastefully to hire consultants and continue to ask for more taxes. It's getting old.
