Only my daughter, Laura, has the power to get me to eat a raw quail egg. We did so last Thursday night at our favorite sushi restaurant in Charlotte, N.C., where she lives. I was in town for a conference.
It's been five years since she moved away from home, and I think I've finally, finally, finally (maybe) stopped thinking of her as some wild feral child who needs me hovering over her, guiding her every move, breath, decision and thought.
She's 25 now, making more money than I am, finishing her fifth year of a two-year college, dating a guy who treats her well.

4A baseball
No. 3 Hoggard 9 No. 6 Sanderson 0
No.3 Hoggard jumped the gun early on the visiting Sanderson Spartans and never looked back, notching a memorable 9-0 third round victory in the North Carolina High School Athletic Association 4A baseball playoffs on Wednesday night.
The positive result was the 500th career win for longtime Coach Jeep St. Ledger, who was honored after the game. Former players who played for St. Ledger some 30 years ago during his first few seasons as head of the Hoggard program were in attendance along with those who played for him more recently.
"It's really a credit to these kids," St. Ledger said. "They're the reason for this."
The Vikings plated nine runs on 12 hits behind a well-balanced attacked and nine strikeout, complete game shutout by junior pitcher Rob Wilkerson.
Brad Pennington and Sam Schmidt led off the bottom of the first with a pair of singles, while Connor Simpson drew a walk to load the bases. A double by catcher Matt Suggs drove in the game's first two runs and a Hunter Gaylord RBI single made it a 3-0 lead. Mike Gans capped the rally with a run scoring double to make it a four-run advantage.
"We've got to keep swinging the bat like we have been," said St. Ledger. "If we do that, we'll be just fine."
The Vikings' hot bats gave Wilkerson a cushion to work off the entire night, but the right-hander worked around five walks in the game, surrendering just one hit in the shutout. Wilkerson wiggled out of trouble in the third after throwing 10 straight pitches out of the strike zone. Noah Almond, the Spartans' second baseman, laid a nice bunt down the third base side to fill the bases with just one out.
"I really struggled to throw strikes, especially early on," Wilkerson said. "That lowers your confidence a bit, but I dug that hole myself and I was going to get myself out of it."
Wilkerson got himself out of that jam by striking out the next batter and getting the designated hitter, Alim McNeill, to fly out to centerfield.
Hoggard hitters, meanwhile, teed off on three different Sanderson pitchers. They finished with five doubles and a two-run home run in the bottom of the fifth inning. Gans and Suggs finished with two hits and three RBI each. Pennington also had two hits and scored twice, while Wilkerson added one hit, an RBI and one run scored.
The Vikings won their ninth game in a row to move to 21-4 overall. Hoggard will hit the road for the first time this postseason on Friday, May 20 with a fourth round 4A playoff matchup at No. 2 D.H. Conley.
Sanderson 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 -0 1 1
Hoggard 4 0 0 0 3 2 0 – 9 12 0
No. 2 D.H. Conley 2 No. 23 New Hanover 1
The Wildcats were on the road for their third round 4A playoff matchup on Wednesday and carried a one-run lead until No. 2 D.H. Conley rallied late to hand No. 23 New Hanover a 2-1 setback.
Kyle Smith plated the game's first run after a leadoff double to start the top of the third. Alex Sniffen drove in Smith later in the inning to pick up the RBI and a 1-0 lead.
Lefty Caleb Bishop posted four shutout frames before D.H. Conley scored a pair of runs in the fifth.
New Hanover closed the year 17-8 overall. D.H. Conley moved to 23-3 overall and hosts No. 3 Hoggard in the fourth round of the state tournament on Friday, May 20.
2A baseball
No. 3 Fairmont 3 No. 11 North Brunswick 0
4A softball
No. 11 Wake Forest 6 No. 14 Hoggard 1
Nia Green hit a solo home run to left field in the top of the first, but No. 11 Wake Forest scored six unanswered runs to hand No. 14 Hoggard a 6-1 defeat on Wednesday night.
The Vikings closed the year 23-7 overall.

As I've started to get some sales, I've started analyzing my downloads to make sure I focus (at least as far as uploading) on what I'm selling, to some degree. What I've found surprised me: my sales are evenly split between photos I take specifically for stock, and those from my more personal shots that happen to be candidates for stock.
For example, my last four sales are split between shots I took for the shot (personal), and shots I took for stock specifically. The brick wall and street sweeper being ones I wouldn't haven taken for my own use, and the New York and Victoria shots being ones I took for myself, without the thought of stock sales.
I'm taking away two things from this:
1. Taking shots specifically for stock is turning into sales.
2. Shots...
I had a nice week off recently, spent at the beach with my kids and extended family. At one point we had a dinner with over 25 adults and 14 kids, most under 7. It was a little bit of chaos, but I loved every minute of it.
These are a few of my recent uploads that came from this trip. It was fun to concentrate a bit more on taking shots of family and destinations that also serve double duty for stock photos. Hopefully these will serve me well next year when summer photos are back in demand!

Stability and Balance are 2 crucial aspects of vertical jump training that are rarely talked about.
In this article, we will discuss what they are, and why they are important.
I will also show you how to jump higher by improving your stability and balance.
I'm sure you've come across some athletes that can jump really high but cannot translate this advantage to their sport.
This is because they lack stability and balance, which results in poor coordination.
I play basketball, and I know several athletes who can jump high but are not coordinated enough to dunk.
Even if they can dunk, they miss their dunks most of the time.
On the other hand, I also know athletes who CAN'T jump that high, but can still dunk well.
This is because they have good stability, balance, and coordination.
Your body's stability and balance are controlled by your stabilizer muscles.
These are "muscles within your muscles" that connect your joints to your muscles and enable them to coordinate/work together in syncrony.
There are many ways to train your stabilizer muscles.
Here are 4 of them:
1. Train with free weights
By training with free weights instead of using machines, you will train your stabilizer muscles.
This is because when you use machines (e.g. the smith machine for squats), the weight is supported by the machine and not you.
When you don't use a machine, you have to balance the weight across your entire body, and this trains your stabilizer muscles.
This is why you can lift more weight when you use machines as opposed to when using free weights.
2. Balancing on a basketball
Balancing on a basketball is great way to strengthen your stabilizer muscles and jump higher.
Simply stand on top of a basketball with both feet and try to stay balanced on the ball for as long as possible.
3. Jumpsoles with proprioceptors
The proprioceptors that come with the Jumpsoles are a great way to strengthen your stabilizer muscles.
They are also a great tool for injury rehabilitation.
4. Wobble board training
Wobble boards are also great for strengthening your stabilizer muscles and rehabilitating injuries.
Stability and balance are very important in sports.
By strengthening your stabilizer muscles, you will be able to improve your balance, stability, and co-ordination.
This will help you increase your vertical leap and jump higher.
If you want to learn more about the best ways to increase your vertical jump, get the
Jump Manual, our #1 rated vertical jump program.

The Chancellor says the tragedy should spark a historic turning point in relations between the world's wealthy and poor countries.
Mr Brown's speech, in which he makes an overt pitch to be seen as an international statesman, comes amid a simmering row between his supporters and No10.
Treasury officials were still smarting at Mr Blair's sudden decision to hold his own monthly press conference at the same time as the Brown speech, leading to suspicions of a No 10 plot to drown out the Chancellor.
Mr Brown played down the row in a GMTV interview today, saying: "The timing of speeches doesn't matter. It's the shared agenda, the common purpose. It's an agreed agenda of the British Government and governments around the world."
But his combative former press secretary Charlie Whelan branded the diary clash "astonishing" because Mr Brown's speech had been planned for months.
He claimed: "Perhaps it is because Tony Blair was on holiday at the time of this terrible tragedy and inexplicably decided to stay on holiday. I think perhaps realising his major error of judgment he has now decided he needs to get in on the act - be seen to be doing things."
In his speech in Edinburgh, Mr Brown was going further than calling for the rebuilding of the region devastated by the tsunami.
He called for a three-point plan covering the Third World, similar to the Marshall Plan that rebuilt Europe after the Second World War.
His scheme includes greater debt relief, a major new world trade summit to boost Third World economies and a new international finance facility to raise long-term aid.
He said: "I believe in 2005 we have a once-in-a-generation opportunity to deliver for our times a modern Marshall Plan for the developing world, a new deal between the richest countries and the poorest countries."
He said the world would risk paying a price if it betrayed its promises to the poorest people but warned unless the richest states acted together, their promises were doomed to be empty words.
Mr Brown added: "The UK's plan is this: we need to not only do all we can to aid the reconstruction of those countries devastated by the Asian tsunami, but we must make a wider offer as bold as the offer that was made in the Marshall Plan of the Forties.
"Our government calls on all countries to join with us in agreeing the three essential elements of a 2005 development plan for a new deal between the richest and poorest countries."
Mr Brown said the tsunami gave graphic evidence of how closely rich and poor countries were now bound together.
He spoke of strangers living on opposite sides of the world who now saw they had the same shared concerns, despite differences of race, faiths or geography.
While 2004 had ended in a horror that had shown the humbling power of nature, Mr Brown said that 2005 could be a year marked by "the extraordinary power of human compassion".
The Chancellor will next week go on a six-day tour to study relief and reconstruction work in action.
Earlier this week he announced a major plan to relieve debt prepayments for countries hit by the tsunami, worth the equivalent of £2 billion in long-term aid.

Letters went home Tuesday to parents of students at Moneta Elementary explaining what the next step is now that Bedford County Public Schools has learned the school has been denied accreditation by the Virginia Department of Education (VDOE).
Seventeen of the district's 19 schools received full accreditation for this year—Montvale Elementary is only partially accredited—but the district must now take steps outlined by VDOE to address Moneta's situation.
Moneta Elementary School, with the help of grant money and the Smith Mountain Lake Good Neighbors, is conducting an after school math program to help students learn to like math.
According to Kathryn Smith, the school's after school grant coordinator, the after school math program is held every night, with a Fun Friday each week. The Fun Friday is also teaching math. The children play games, but each game involves math. The games are followed by a family meal with Good Neighbors providing the food and families eating together.
Becky Stanley, owner of Trendsetters, a hair salon in Bedford, feels a debt of gratitude toward the cosmetology program at Bedford Science and Technology Center (BSTC). A 1981 Liberty High School graduate, she also graduated from BTC's cosmetology program.
Liberty High School's work with Special Olympics is taking off in a big way.
Several years ago, when it looked like athletes from Liberty wouldn't get to compete in a Special Olympics event because of a scheduling conflict, Alicia Schneider was determined she wasn't going to let that happen.
So the school hosted its own event for the county's three high schools. That has become an annual event and schools from outside the area are also now being invited to participate.
After hearing from two speakers asking that more money be spent to improve the three county high schools' tracks, the Bedford County School Board voted Thursday to spend an additional $133,000—$1.2 million in all—for the upgrades.
Jerome Loy, a former county teacher and track coach, and Joe Curcio, the Staunton River track coach and state meet organizer, both asked that the JF track, during the upgrades, be made into an eight-lane track. This would allow the county to host a state meet in the future.
The Bedford Area Education Foundation held a breakfast, Thursday, to showcase what it is doing for the county's schools and what the schools are doing.
The Education Foundation was started in 2001 with the goal of raising private donations to provide funds for grants to county teachers. The idea is to supplement what the school division provides. During its 15-year history, the Foundation has given $275,500 in grants. During the last school year, the Foundation made $19,368 in grants.
First Sergeant Lennie Hutton, who started as Bedford Science and Technology Center's JROTC instructor this year, was just recently inducted into the Army's Drill Instructor Hall of Fame.
Randy Hagler, the school division's chief financial officer, had some bad news for the school board at its meeting Thursday, Sept. 9.
"The state has run into an issue," he said. "There is a substantial shortfall in the state's revenue forecast."
The Bedford County School Board is moving toward adopting a new strategic plan. According to Dr. Douglas Schuch, the purpose of a strategic plan is to give a clear definition of where the school division wants to go so that resources can be properly allocated.
Dr. Schuch said focus groups that included parents, students, teachers and support staff have been held. Central office senior staff have met six times since November, 2015 to work on the plan. A large school staff group met in July to discuss it.
The lockdown of five Bedford County schools that were placed on lockdown this morning has been lifted, according to Bedford County Public Schools.
The schools had been placed on lock down while a law enforcement investigation was taking place in the Forest Zone.
Forest Elementary, Thomas Jefferson Elementary, Otter River Elementary, Forest Middle School and Jefferson Forest High were the schools on lock down.

Ross, Capra On The Move
Two of the Oakland A's top draft picks from the 2008 draft are on the move on Wednesday. Right-hander Tyson Ross (second round) and left-hander Anthony Capra (fourth round) were both promoted a level. Ross was moved to Double-A Midland, while Capra took Ross' place in the Stockton Ports' rotation.
Ross earns the trip to Midland after putting together a solid three-and-a-half months with Stockton. The Oakland native and Cal alum shook off a rough first few starts and an early season trip to the disabled list to post a 5-6 record and a 4.17 ERA in 86.1 innings. He struck-out 82, walked 33 and held California League hitters to a .237 average. For the month of July, Ross was 3-1 with a 2.59 ERA and 27 strike-outs in 24.1 innings for the Ports. Since the All-Star break, Ross was 4-1 with a 3.19 ERA with 39 strike-outs in 36.2 innings.
To make room for Ross on the Midland roster, left-hander Bobby Cramer has been placed on the reserve list.
Capra is also in the middle of an impressive season. Although his record is 4-7, Capra has been one of the Kane County Cougars' top starters this season. The Wichita State alum threw exactly 100 innings for the Cougars this season. He struck-out 103 and allowed only 70 hits for a .197 BAA. His ERA was a solid 3.24. With the exception of May, Capra had ERAs of 3.21 or lower in every month this season. Since the All-Star break, Capra had a 2.27 ERA with 35 strike-outs and only seven walks in 31.2 innings.
In addition to losing Ross and adding Capra, the Ports also placed reliever Leonardo Espinal on the disabled list.
Cougars Place Two On DL; Add Two AZL A's
The injury-depleted Kane County Cougars got even thinner on Wednesday, as they placed left-handed reliever Trey Barham and infielder Nino Leyja on the disabled list. The Cougars now have seven players on the DL. Replacing the injured Cougars on the roster are two pitchers from the A's Rookie League team, Anvioris Ramirez and A.J. Huttenlocker.
Barham is being sidelined with back spasms. He has a 1.59 ERA and 23 strike-outs in 22.2 innings for the Cougars this season. Leyja, who was only with the Cougars as an injury replacement himself, lands on the DL with an arm injury. He was spiked over the weekend and sustained a gash on his arm that required stitches. He is expected to be out 10-14 days. Leyja was batting .194 with five extra-base hits in 31 at-bats for the Cougars at the time of the injury. He began the year with Vancouver, where he hit .269 in 16 games.
Ramirez joins the Cougars after posting a 4.56 ERA in 23.2 innings with the AZL A's. He struck-out 22 and walked seven. Ramirez has started three games and relieved in three others. He split the 2008 season between Arizona and the A's Dominican Summer League team.
Huttenlocker becomes the fourth A's 2009 draft choice to join the Cougars. He had made 10 relief appearances for Arizona, posting a 2.70 ERA and striking out 17 while walking one in 13.1 innings. Huttenlocker was the A's 44th round pick.
A's Sign Middleton
The A's have signed pitcher Kyle Middleton out of the independent American Association. He had been pitching for the Pensacola Pelicans, where he had a 1.75 ERA and 83 strike-outs and was recently in the league's All-Star game. According to the Pelicans' website, Middleton will be sent to Triple-A Sacramento.
Middleton is a long-time minor league veteran. The 6'6'' right-hander was a 49th round pick of the Kansas City Royals in 1999 out of Jefferson Davis Community College. He was in the Royals' organization through 2006, before signing with the Astros, with whom he spent two seasons. In 2008, he appeared in 17 games and had a 5.03 ERA with the Astros' Double-A and Triple-A affiliates. He has been a starter for most of his career and has a 47-45 record with a 4.40 ERA in 205 career appearances.
Chen Returns
The injury news isn't all bad in the A's system. Infielder Yung-Chi Chen, who has been out since late April with a knee injury, is back with the Sacramento River Cats.
Chen hit .324 in 17 games with Double-A Midland and then hit .563 in five games with Sacramento before being injured. He recently completed an eight game rehab assignment with the Arizona A's, where he hit .346 in eight games.

Mike Shanahan watch focuses on "Da Plane! Da Plane!" -- of Redskins owner Daniel Snyder
Daniel Snyder, owner of the Washington Redskins, has been described as a "tour de force of executive douchery" -- a meddler on par with the Oakland Raiders' Al Davis, albeit one who tends to avoid wearing the sort of glasses usually sported by elderly women. Mike Shanahan, who lived the Davis nightmare before taking the top job with the Broncos, would be well advised to steer clear... but he probably won't.
Indeed, NBC Sports is among the news agencies reporting that Snyder's plane touched down in Denver this morning -- and may have already departed after figuratively dumping a shitload of money on Shanny's lawn.
Such a quick appointment could be controversial in some quarters, since the NFL has stated repeatedly that teams need to interview minority candidates for head coaching openings -- and if that's been done in the Redskins' case, it's for ass-covering purposes rather than an actual interest in giving someone other than Shanahan a shot at taking over the D.C. squad.
Then again, Snyder has a history of getting his way, and if he wants Shanahan to helm his franchise, he'll almost certainly get him. Which means by this time next year, Big Mike will either have the Skins back in the playoffs, or he'll be ready to choke the life out of Danny boy. Either way, it should be entertaining -- unlike the last three weeks of the Broncos 2009 season...

Critics say Gov. Rick Scott overreached in his first year, misreading Floridians' appetite for the sweeping conservative changes he pursued.
TALLAHASSEE — For Republican Gov. Rick Scott, the 60-day legislative session that begins Tuesday could go far in determining the Republican Party's prospects this year, as well as shape the remainder of his term.
Critics say Scott overreached in his first year, misreading Floridians' appetite — and the courts' tolerance — for the sweeping conservative changes he pursued.
The governor insists he is delivering what he promised and he will not retreat, even on issues such as elimination of the state corporate income tax, which now provides about $1.8 billion a year for the budget.
Scott, a political novice who made his fortune as a corporate executive, stumbled frequently during his first year in office as he sought to translate his business experience to public office.
In response, he has changed some of his tactics and policies, and he has sought to soften his image. He shook up his staff and cultivated relationships with the press.
He adopted some techniques deployed by more popular predecessors, most notably mimicking Gov. Bob Graham's "workdays." He often ditched his business suit and tie for a more casual open-collar look, hoping to connect with the public and lawmakers.
But 12 months into his four-year term, Scott remains among the most unpopular governors in the country, a potential drag on Republicans' hopes for winning the state in the November presidential election.
Pressed to evaluate his first year, the former head of the private hospital chain Columbia/HCA concedes no errors and attributes any course changes to listening to taxpayers, state employees and business leaders, much as a business executive listens to his employees, customers and shareholders.
Scott repeats a frequent argument that he will ultimately be judged on the state of the economy.
"You try to solve everybody's needs as well as you can," he said. "I've never figured out how to make everybody happy in life."
Said Scott: "I think we've made a lot of progress."
Second-year plan
Scott said his day-to-day contact with Floridians has helped him shape his second-year agenda, including calling for a $1 billion increase in school spending instead of the $1.75 billion cut he proposed last year.
To pay for the increase, he would cut in other areas, including health care for the poor, transportation and prisons.
"I've talked to people around the state and here's what they say: They don't want their taxes to go up. They think government takes enough money as it is," Scott said. "They want their taxes allocated to education and jobs. And that's what I've done with this budget."
As the economy improves, he wants to continue cutting the corporate income tax, arguing that revenues will grow enough to sustain the tax's eventual elimination.
"I'm very optimistic that we can do that," Scott said. "I know that ultimately that is one of the things that is going to create more jobs."
In his first year, Scott invited considerable backlash by pushing for deep spending cuts, taking on hundreds of thousands of public workers and teachers by requiring them to contribute to their pensions, dismantling the state's top land-use-planning agency and rejecting a $2.4 billion high-speed train for the state.
Scott also opposed a database to crack down on prescription drug abuse, though he reversed course and later supported it. And he angered some supporters by refusing to block a Central Florida commuter rail line.
Several of his signature measures, including drug testing for welfare recipients, have been challenged in court and in some cases overturned by judges — moves that have rankled a business executive accustomed to seeing directives immediately implemented.
"In big business, you have the same concerns — that you can't ever move fast enough," he said.
Getting to work
Scott believes the only measure that counts is jobs. He won election by focusing almost exclusively on a pledge to create 700,000 more of them in Florida.
After 12 months in office, he can point to more than 120,000 new jobs and an unemployment rate that has dipped nearly 2 percent since he became governor.
But he now says he's pushing for 700,000 more jobs no matter what the economy does.
And despite the gains over the past year, more than 900,000 Floridians remain jobless.
To identify with the working public, he has spent days in various jobs, including stints as a donut shop worker in Tampa and as a cafeteria employee at an Orlando elementary school.
His image makeover also included replacing several top aides who had little experience in state government with advisers who have deeper roots in Tallahassee. Lawmakers and lobbyists have praised his selection of Steve MacNamara, a veteran Capitol insider, as his chief of staff.
House Democratic leader Ron Saunders said the governor has evolved.
"I'm more in agreement with Rick Scott 2.0 than I was with Rick Scott 1.0," Saunders said.
But Saunders said Scott is still saddled with the negative impression voters got from the race for governor, which he narrowly won.
Republican legislative leaders, who share Scott's philosophy of a smaller government and lower taxes, say the political rookie has learned quickly.
Senate President Mike Haridopolos, R-Merritt Island, who accompanied Scott on a trade mission to Israel last month, said he has "an outstanding working relationship" with the governor, cemented in part by Scott's selection of MacNamara, the former chief of staff to the Senate president.
Haridopolos said he and the governor's office are in constant contact on their agendas.

DEFINITION of 'Up-Front Mortgage Insurance - UFMI'
An insurance premium that is collected, typically on Federal Housing Administration (FHA) loans, at the time the loan is initially made. It is in contrast to private mortgage insurance (PMI), which is collected by the lender each month when a buyer's down payment is less than 20% of the purchase price. Up-front mortgage premiums are added to a pool of money that is used to help entities, such as the FHA, insure loans for certain borrowers.
BREAKING DOWN 'Up-Front Mortgage Insurance - UFMI'
Many people do not realize that up-front mortgage premiums are typically refundable, on a pro-rated basis, if a home is sold within the first five to seven years of ownership. In other words, if someone has paid this premium up front and then sold their home within a few years of their original purchase, they may be entitled to a substantial refund even years after the fact. To find out if you might be eligible, call the FHA at 1-800-697-6967.

The Runic
Another post apocalyptic sort of situation with obvious influences but I'm trying to build on it... so I thought I'd let people help me flesh this out or breath new life into it.
The ritual was to begin. He could see it, his goggles zooming in and focusing ten times further than his eye could ever hope to. The different filter's in the system allowed the tiny computer strapped to his back to shift through various spectrums and modes and what with that data compile a aggregate approximation of the people within making it appear to the assassin that he was practically looking through the wall of the building a block away from his.
As he regarded the blurred figures that moved around, gathering items or laying down reagents he could only guess at (and guess with good accuracy, taking into consideration how many of them he'd already stopped), the assassin contemplated his modus operendi. This was a much smaller gathering than he was used to; and while any lesser operative might just go in guns blazing something about this made him all that more cautious. In his experience, 15 and above was the norm. Seven was a number that was half of that… and from what he could tell, at least four of them were Guardians. That made it a total of three actual targets. Three Priests…
Priest… The term at some point used to mean something. It still did but not in the sense he's read about in history. Somewhere along the line, the truth about it all had been revealed and people in general hadn't been all that happy… People in general had devolved into anarchy and chaos. The world had been poised on the brink of collapsing in on itself with minor and opposing religions keen to take on the mantle of a dominant more righteous one… but those too were all found, at least in the higher echelons to be working towards the same goals, the same twisted ends in mind. It had turned out that religion… had gone from a system of connecting people and of inspiration to nothing but a cover, a political force and in general the best run operation the world has known for an agenda that would take years to fully comprehend. Two hundred years down the line, the assassin now looked at what had become of religion. What it truly was, how it had fallen from its glorified pedestal and had become what it was now, the very thing it had in most of its manifestations despised – a secret society that would go to any lengths to accomplish their goals… and these men, these priests, needed to be stopped.
Standing up, the assassin picked up a rifle that had been propped up against a wall and slung it over his shoulder, the delicate splattering of blood that adorned the wall overlooked with chilling ease. Wearing nothing but the matte black armor that was as sleek as it was tough, looking more like a wet suit with thin excuses for armor plating attached to it, he laced his fingers together and stretched, cracking his knuckles harmoniously before he walked to the back of the room and pressed a dark green button that immediately turned red. He smiled to himself as he waited for the pressure in the tube to drop. If there was one thing he loved about his job apart from killing Priests and their spawn… it was the toys he was entitled to. There was nothing more satisfying than the silent thrum of the latest Hover-tech engines or the comfortable kick back of a plasma rifle that hadn't even begun proper production. A tube like opening revealed itself in the wall next to the button and allowed the athletic man to enter.
"The roof," he said in a hoarse voice. He hadn't really spoken out loud in quite some time. Occupational hazard perhaps…
The tiny one person elevator slowly began to rise. Or so he thought because no more than 10 seconds later, the tube had traversed 50 floors and opened to reveal a totally different scene than the one he had looked out at moments earlier. Gone was the darkened room with tinted windows that were also walls showcasing the busy street beyond their transparent barrier; walls with obscure etchings, blood overtones and bullet ridden relief. Instead he stepped out into the constant whir and buzz of a world that was as oblivious to him as he was impervious to it. Around him he saw a few buildings that had surpassed the one he now stood on, in height, while a steady stream of vehicles flit by following invisible lines that would guide them safely to their destination while inside their metallic shells, they looked forward to material comfort that the assassin would only come so close to understanding.
He strode over to a vehicle nearby and pulled back the cloth that had been fluttering over it. Looking down at the technological marvel, he swung a leg over and sat down in it without a second thought as to the years of research and development into its production. The vehicle itself would have driven motor enthusiasts mad had they the slightest of inklings of the craft's existence. However, like all his other gear, its production had been limited for the use of people like him. People who needed whatever they could to give themselves that much of an edge over an enemy who used weapons that defied logic itself. For that was what the Priests used… especially their Guardsmen.
Ever since the truth about religions' true owners and 'gods' came to be known it had been too late… All those centuries in power, with privileges afforded to them that allowed them to further their research, the holy men of different sects of religions had finally come to their greatest discover - How to not only gain insight into the Infernal world as they had for so many centuries but now, now they had developed the ability to call forth beings from the Other Plane as well. It was this ability that had sparked the wars, the anarchy, the wide spread dissent that had almost accomplished what it had set out to do; splinter the human race and to drive what was left of it back a few ages so that those in power could keep the power that had slowly begun to wane as people allowed logic, reasoning and science into their minds as opposed to antiquated ideas of men long dead. The summoning themselves were a brutal affair that the Priests' took increasing amounts of pride in. It was these summoning rituals that, the assassin had to stop.
Igniting the internal flight system, the assassin heard the hiss of a compound polymer-glass chassis extend from the sides of the vehicle to form a wind shield of sorts for his body. He doubted it do him much good… It was a cold night and the wind chill was sure to make matters that much worse. The screen, he allowed himself to admit was perhaps constructed more to protect him than to save him a little discomfort.
Almost noiselessly he took off and joined the fleet of vehicles that ferried the city's inhabitants in a manner analogous to blood carrying oxygen throughout a city. He was immune system. He zipped through the mass of vehicles, unseen by the scanners of its inferior peers, the confounding signal his little one man craft emitted telling the other ships that he simply did not exit. Thus, the subservient occupants of the city remained as oblivious to him as they did of the real threat that lurked only a block away… that being both the Priests and the not so new brand of politicians who, like their predecessors, craved power above all else. Science forbid, however, that they rise to the notoriety and power that the religions had.
It wasn't long before that the assassin slowed his speed having arrived at the building his targets were in; the craft skirted the edge of the reinforced Gladstone windows with an inch to spare while a wireframe layout of the building revolved around on a display screen to show him his position in accordance to where he intended to go. Slowing to a crawl a room away from where his on board computer told him he'd be seen, he leapt from the vehicle, his gloves morphing to suddenly sport tiny suction cups while his shoes managed the same transformation. With a dull thud that the Gladstone engineered glass would muffle even more, he clung to the glass while the computer strapped to his back began to run diagnostics and tell him about wind speeds and chill factor and even condensation rates while keeping a steady glow in the general direction of where the Priests were. Climbing one floor up with deceptive ease, he was soon perched upside down just above the floor with the arcane meeting. He reached into his backpack and pulled out a few cylindrical devices, pushing a tiny button on top of it and quickly pressed it to the glass before the sticky goo that oozed out of invisible pores glued his hand to the explosive. He set a few more and then climbed a few stories up and began to tie a rope around a decorative metal outcropping, all the while keeping an eye on the timer that counted down just a little too quickly for his liking on one edge of his field of vision.
With everything in place and the timer jumping past the 0 mark and descending into negatives, he hit activated the remote devices and kicked off of his invisible perch, the suction cups that had covered his gloves morphing themselves into tiny hair like spikes. The Gladstone windows erupted in a magnificent display of fire, shattered glass and alloy-concrete. It was into this quickly receding explosion that he swung, the taught rope ensuring that he swung straight through the inferno. He released the clasp in a show of grace that might just put a feline to shame, rolled across the blood spattered, debris ridden room that was now open to the elements. Off in the distance the sounds of the fire response vehicles making their way towards his location could be heard. Drawing his rifle in a swift motion he fired a short burst through the far wall and was certain without a doubt that one of the Guardian's had fallen. He looked around the shattered room, half of which was probably still making its way to the streets below… streets he'd ensured to have cleared. Most of the writings that had been on the wall had boiled into an unintelligible mess with the heat of the blast while other portions of it were nothing more than a scuff mark that trailed his roll into the room…
The assassin wasn't too bothered with the red paint… blood? That was now smeared across his shoulders and backpack… no, something else sent the chill down his spine that threatened to turn into a shudder. It was the mangled, twisted bodies of the Priests who'd been wearing white but now lay in pools of a fiery crimson.
No… it was the space in front of him where light seemed to twist and turn pulled into a source so powerful that not even the unerring photon rays could pass through unaffected. It was in this rip in the reality before him that twisted his ability to see the pot marked wall behind it to the point that he believed he was looking in a kaleidoscope. All of this was well and good, however it was the crimson arm that was dripping what could only be blood, that had shot out of the rift and was slowly clutching at an invisible hold so as to pull the rest of its bulk through, that had scared the assassin… a feat that only one creature had accomplished before… and it was that very creature, or a permutation of its kin, that was now clawing its way out from a world that no mortal could possibly fathom.
He took a deep breath, trying to push his fear down while raising his rifle, switching to incendiary rounds and firing while another hand grasped for a grenade… He'd gotten through this once… He'd get through it again.

The UWM Real Estate Foundation announced late Tuesday that Zilber Property Group and ABB Inc., a power and automation technologies company, have entered into an agreement to build a 95,000-square-foot building in Innovation Park, off Watertown Plank Road in Wauwatosa.
The new location, on the western portion of the campus, will house ABB's businesses operating in southeast Wisconsin, and is expected to bring 350 jobs, including more than 100 engineers and scientists, according to a statement.
The agreement represents the first private-sector development at the University of Wisconsin's Innovation Campus, designed to provide industry and academia a setting for collaboration and research.
The three-story building is valued at $13.5 million, according to a presentation by city Finance Director John Ruggini.
The ABB Group of companies operates in more than 100 countries and employs about 145,000 people. In Wisconsin, it is primarily involved in low- and medium-voltage drives, low-voltage products and power electronics.
ABB's decision to build a new facility "is based on the significant growth of these businesses at ABB's Glendale Avenue site in New Berlin, and the addition of more than 200 jobs there over the last three years," the statement said.
The choice of site and the opportunity to work with faculty and students from UWM is similar to an arrangement the company has in Raleigh, N.C., where it has facilities at Centennial Campus at North Carolina State University, the statement said.
"We are thrilled to have the opportunity to partner with ABB on our Innovation Campus," said Michael Lovell, chancellor of the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, in a statement. "I have had the opportunity to work with other divisions of ABB in the past and know firsthand how partnering with ABB will bring new and exciting collaborative opportunities for our students and faculty."
Construction of the new building is expected to begin this spring, with anticipated occupancy about a year later, pending lease finalization and public approvals.
ABB will join the UWM's Innovation Accelerator building, which is being constructed with grant funding from the federal Economic Development Administration. That project is expected to break ground about the end of the month.

An extensive search of Stanley Park, where her vehicle was found, was not able to find her.
Police believed she may have been suffering from postpartum depression.

IMDb: 7.2
The dictionary tells us that a hagiography is any biography that idealizes or idolizes its subject. By definition, a hagiography is an inferior form of literature because it focuses on only the purported good side of its subject?those looking for any kind of nuance will inevitably be disappointed.
As director Jay Roach and his scenarists would have it, Dalton Trumbo, the acclaimed Hollywood screenwriter, was a veritable saint for sticking to his conscience and not naming names before HUAC (House of Un-American Activities Committee) in 1947.
Trumbo basically follows the facts of what happened to him after he was blacklisted: a 10 month stint in a Federal prison for contempt of Congress; supporting himself by writing and/or editing screenplays under pseudonyms; winning two Academy Awards for best screenplay while concealing his identity; becoming addicted to prescription medication in order to be able to churn out such a voluminous amount of work; the difficulties he had with his wife and children due to the slavish devotion to his work; and his eventual triumph over the blacklist after director Otto Preminger and actor Kirk Douglas agree to give him credit as screenwriter for their movies.
There is really only one scene in the film (the best one!) which suggests maybe Trumbo wasn't the saint that most of liberal America now believes him to be. That scene involves the meeting between famed actor Edward G. Robinson and Trumbo after Robinson has named names before HUAC. Robinson exposes Trumbo's self-righteousness after pointing out that Trumbo could still support himself by writing under other peoples' names, while he, as an actor, had no anonymity and hence had no choice but to "name names."
Director Roach would like us to believe that Trumbo was a political innocent. The only scene where he deals with Trumbo's political beliefs is when he has Trumbo speaking with his young daughter about Communism while horseback riding. Trumbo's definition is basically that Communism has to do with "sharing" and hence helping others.
The reality of Trumbo's political beliefs is much more complex than what director Roach and his crew let on here. Robert Radosh, in his most informative article, "Red Star Falling: The Trumbo Train Wreck," informs that Trumbo, due to his support of Stalin, was an isolationist before the war. His anti-war novel, "Johnny Got His Gun," was published in the Daily Worker but after the dissolution of the Nazi-Soviet pact in 1941, Trumbo immediately had the book withdrawn from circulation. He even went to the FBI, as Radosh tells us, and gave them the names of people who had inquired about the book. (Later of course Trumbo had no problem condemning those who named names before HUAC.)
Trumbo insisted that he was motivated by free speech but according to Radosh, he "used his power in the film community to prevent proposed anti-Communist films from being made." He called Stalin "one of the democratic leaders of the world," and tried to undermine a film based on Trotsky's biography of Stalin as well as other anti-Communist films which he considered "untrue and reactionary."
Radosh has no illusions about HUAC's tactics but also decries the Hollywood Ten's true political character. Writing in 1991 in the American Spectator, Radosh reviewed the newly released film about the blacklist, "Guilty by Suspicion": "HUAC's hearings were clearly punitive--their 1951 investigations turned up nothing, and were meant to force recalcitrant witnesses to engage in a humiliating game of contrition by offering the Committee names it already had. Only the contrite could gain absolution, and the proof was to confess one's sins. But in reality, most of those brought before HUAC were ardent Stalinists or fellow travelers, whose own record of politics was hardly that of moral propriety. They were unfairly treated and punished, but they were not without their own degree of sin."
Radosh quotes the left-leaning author Larry Ceplair from his book "The Inquisition in Hollywood," about the Hollywood Ten and their ilk who "defended the Stalinist regime, accepted the Comintern's policies and about-faces, and criticized enemies and allies alike with infuriating self-righteousness, superiority, and selective memory which eventually alienated all but the staunchest fellow travelers."
For those who would argue that Trumbo's views had evolved after World War II, Allan Ryskind writing in the NY Post reminds us that he was still an unrepentant Stalinist even at the time the Korean War broke out. Ryskind informs, "Channeling his inner Stalin, he also wrote a screenplay ? egged on by some of his Hollywood Ten friends ? in which the major character, Catherine Bonham, reveals her ardent attachment to North Korea. Bonham insists Kim's country is a 'model' Asian nation and is fighting for its freedom 'just as we had to fight for our own independence in 1776.'"
Trumbo quit the Communist Party in 1956. While working on a book about the blacklist, Robert Radosh found an unpublished 1958 letter by Trumbo. In it he finally admits that "the Ten did not "perform historic deeds," but took part "in a circus orchestrated by Communist Party lawyers, all to save ourselves from punishment." Trumbo went even further: "They lived in the United States, not Stalin's U.S.S.R., and should have openly proclaimed their views and membership so that the American people could judge them for what they believed."
In his speech to the Screen Writer's Guild in 1970, Trumbo claimed no one was without sin during the days of the blacklist. It's a shame that this new biopic failed to provide an ample catalog of Trumbo's own sins. While Bryan Cranston does a fine job in depicting one side of Trumbo as the lovable curmudgeon, his more complex political views along with those of his "fellow travelers," are whitewashed and soft-pedaled. The despicable acts of HUAC and their supporters don't excuse perfidy on the left as well, which Trumbo only owned up to in his later days and in limited fashion.

theatrefan, is there any link to that show on youtube or somewhere else?
DaveM, thats different than the way they did the Jersey in Jersey City. There, they dropped the wall down from the balcony cutting off the front part of the orchestra. They split the area under the balcony for cinema 2 & 3, and the balcony became cinema 1. All the seats in the front orchestra were removed.
With all the wonderful photos of the newly opened Kings, can we get a photo on the page showing that, instead of the plastic covered chairs? I think the Kings deserves it.
Great Job Bill. Sorry I had to miss it.
Well maybe another time. I got called into work for……you guessede it, 12 noon. Maybe I will get here to see a concert in the near future. If someone can post photos, it would be great.
walterk, Happy New year. I havent been by the Ritz lately, as I was very sick most of January. My wife said the block across the street from the parking lot has been completely demolished. As the weather warms I will swing by and check on the progress.
@Jeffrey1955, yours are cut off to the right also. Maybe its my screen setting. @Matt Lambros, thanks so much. My wife and I hope to make it.
LuisV, your comment above is cut off to the right. What is going on Saturday Feb 7th? Is it a tour of the theate?? I would love to go if it is.
Oh Im sorry I missed it. I'll have to try and catch it if they ever repeat it.
This theatre, along with the Amboys Multiplex Cinemas, were built and opened at the same time. Amboys closed 10 years ago this coming May after the lobby floor caved in. Its a shame this one is gonna close. Hope something good happens to it. The Amboys is just sitting there rotting away.
The 35mm print of "Interstellar" looked and sounded FANTASTIC tonight. And of course all my changeovers were flawless. I havent lost a step in 35 years.
Patsy, you think these two are bad, you should see the pictures of the Proctors Theatre in Newark.
Thanks for the tip movieguy. Sadly when my wife and I went to see Interstellar on Veterans Day, the curtain wasn't used. I went to the Ziegfeld on purpose cause A) I was never there. B)I wanted to see the movie on film, and C) I wanted to see the curtain. Well 2 out of 3 aint too bad. I had later found out from Joe Masher that there was a technician in the building that day and that's why the curtain wasn't used. But the rest of the time, theres no excuse.
I didnt think so. But some of the interior features resembled it.
When cablevision owned it I cleaned the screens here in the early 2000's. It was a nice theatre in a nice town. Reminded me of a GCC theatre. It had that look. Don't know if GCC ever operated it at one time.
I saw that about a month ago spectrum. Im hoping it happens cause Im an unemployed projectionist and stagehand who was helping out on the remodel by the former owner in the mid and late 2000's. I really want to work here again.
networkmike, I dont know how it is now-a-days, but when I was a projectionist in an adult theatre from 1978 to 1990, I can say I saw some interesting things going on in the 800 seat auditorium of the theatre. But I also say to you that theres nothing like viewing it on the big screen, so go enjoy.
walterk, I just found another booth shot of Mr Spewak next to the projectors. Im thinking of bringing it to the historical society to scan. I will ask my wife if our scanner still works and then maybe I can get it out to you. If not then I will bring it to you the next time your in the state.
Same to you.
walterk, I spoke to my mom the other day and she did indeed know and graduated with Alice. Small world.
Thanks for that walterk. It was my pleasure to supply the photo and sharing it with you and the group. Also the above header should now also include "renovating" "restoring"
That's my dad.
Didnt Bow Tie drop the 2 in Pennsylvania? The Bala and Anthony Wayne? Or were they dumped by cablevision?
A big thank you to walterk for setting up the visit to the Ritz today. It was something for me to be in the same building my dad worked in all those years ago. I even got to go to the old projection room where he walked and worked. The old place needs a lot of work, but the people in charge have a vision and now lets hope the $$$$$ start rolling in.
In the early 2000's I cleaned the screen here once. It was a beautiful theatre. It was nice to clean a huge screen, quite a departure from the small screens I was use to cleaning in the clearviews.

Why the Owner Chose Chatham, MA, USA:
After renting homes all around New England for almost 20 years, we became frustrated with old, out dated houses that were uncomfortable to stay in and never had anything you were looking for. If you have ever stayed at a vacation home and noticed that the silverware was a combination of 8 different sets, the china didn't match and the furniture was last updated during the Eisenhower Administration then you know what we are talking about. If you are looking for the home-away-from-home with everything you need, this is your spot. Our goal is to provide Clean, Comfortable & Convenient vacation experience for our clients. We took everything we didn't like about renting on Cape Cod and Nantucket for many years and made sure our houses (three in Chatham, the other listings are at VRBO Listing #791618 & 973795) we are the premier luxury, turn-key vacation rental experience. If we don't have it, you don't need it! Based on our client feedback, you will enjoy your time in Chatham staying with us.

Perforce can handle all of that... and you can merge 90% of it with your eyes closed. You could have a branch of a branch with moves and adds and deletes in both, and P4 will be able to easily merge it all back to trunk with no problems. I really, really, really wish that Subversion could handle this sort of branching and merging. In many ways SVN is still as bad as CVS when it comes to branch and merge. :-( --jason
