It didn't take long that season for Darvin Adams to jump into the role and he would eventually establish himself as one of the most productive receivers in school history.
Making just three catches for 18 yards in his first season on the Plains in 2008, under Malzahn's guidance Adams became the first player in school history to have two years with more than 900 receiving yards. With 112 receptions in 2009-2010, Adams became Mr. Clutch for the Tigers' offense.
Auburn now finds itself in a similar position after the loss of the dependable Emory Blake. While juniors Quan Bray and Trovon Reed have done a solid job as complementary receivers the last two years, that's about it for receiving production at the position. Fellow junior Jaylon Denson and sophomores Sammie Coates and Ricardo Louis also return with game experience.
Very familiar with the history of the position at Auburn and last season at Arkansas State, Auburn offensive coordinator Rhett Lashlee said the Tigers are looking to see which player or players comes to the front of the line once the games get underway.
"There are some guys, but I'd hesitate to say anything because at this time that year we wouldn't have said Darvin," Lashlee said about who is the most likely go-to guy in 2013.
"Darvin had had like two or three catches or something like that so somebody is going to have to step up," the offensive coordinator said. "I hope it's a couple of guys. Last year our leading receiver (at Arkansas State) was a redshirt freshman (J.D. McKissic) and he had 103 catches and he didn't even play the year before. He would probably have been your third or fourth choice going into the season, not that the other guys didn't play well. It was just the way it all worked out."
"We've never really tried to make a guy be that guy," he added. "We try to play to our guys' strengths and it usually works itself out. I would say there are three or four guys right now that I would have expectations of and hope they have a big year...I'm expecting a lot out of Quan Bray and Jaylon Denson and it's time for Sammie Coates. He's been here a little bit now. It's time for him to grow up and make plays, and I think he will.
"Ricardo Louis is another one that we're going to bring along. I think Coach (Dameyune) Craig has done a really good job with that whole room of bringing them along, not only making plays and all, but mentally with their confidence."
Catching just three passes for 36 yards last season as a true freshman, Louis has continued to make strides at wide receiver after making the transition from high school quarterback. A dynamic player with the ball in his hands, Lashlee said the coaches expecting much bigger things this season from the sophomore as he continues to gain much needed experience.
"He's one of those guys that can be very special," Lashlee said. "He's still young. This is going to be his second true year to be here and to be playing and he didn't play a whole lot last year. He has a lot of ability and there are times he makes some plays and you just got wow. There's no doubt. We'd like him to do that consistently."
Ricardo Louis
Another former high school quarterback making noise this preseason for the Tigers has been true freshman Marcus Davis. An addition to the class following the hiring of Craig, Davis has caught the eye of not only his coaching staff, but also teammates such as Bray.
"I've seen him come in with a mentality that he's young, but he's definitely ready to play because he's a baller," Bray said. "Coach Malzahn said it, he's a natural all the time."
Lashlee agreed with Bray, saying Davis just finds a way to get the job done and that should put him on the field early in his college career.
"He just does all the little things," Lashlee said. "First of all, I think playing quarterback probably helped him because he came in you could tell he wasn't in the moment of, 'hey, I'm in college and these guys are bigger and faster.' He's been steady. I'm not going to say he's made a lot of wow plays, although he's made a few.
"He's just been steady and he's worked hard, he's listened and he's tried to do everything the coaches say. All the little things we ask our guys to do, he does. The bottom line is they just keep showing up. The guys who keep showing up practice after practice, whether it's little things or big things are the ones who stand out. When you're a freshmen you kind of have to do that to stand out and he's done that steadily through camp."
Marcus Davis has been a playmaker for the Tigers this preseason.
In addition to that group Lashlee said that walk-on Melvin Ray and former walk-on Dimitri Reese are two players who could see action as well when the Tigers kick off the season Saturday night against Washington State at Jordan-Hare Stadium. The game is scheduled to start at 6 p.m. CDT and can be seen on ESPNU.

Ulrich Museum of Art
Nationally renowned painter, installation artist and filmmaker Kerry James Marshall spoke of "John Brown's Body: The Representation of Black Bodies as Revolutionary Gesture" during an illustrated talk March 4, 2009, at the Ulrich Museum of Art at Wichita State University.
Marshall reflects and continues the tradition of moral conscience of Gordon Parks and other leading African American visual artists. He creates large-scale paintings that explore African American culture from the Civil Rights to today, drawing from and weaving a history of black experience into his narratives. The artist states the subject of his art stems from the social climate of his youth: "You can't be born in Birmingham, Alabama in 1955 and grow up in South Central Los Angeles near the Black Panthers headquarters and not feel like you've got some kind of social responsibility. …That determined a lot of where my work was going to go." To underscore the humanism and social advocacy that underlie Gordon Parks' best work and acknowledge his participation in a tradition of African American artmaking, Marshall will talk about his own work and its sources in the shared legacy—cultural as well as artistic. Marshall lives in Chicago. In 1997, he was awarded a MacArthur "Genius" Fellowship. The Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago organized a major retrospective on the artist in 2004 that toured to nationally prominent museums. He is represented by Jack Shainman Gallery in New York.

Personal Knowledge Mastery in 60 Days
Next Workshop starts Monday 3 July 2017 (scroll down)
"Without exaggeration, it is the most informative course that I have done in the past few years. I immediately sensed the impact when I applied some of the practical tips from the course." —Workshop Participant
"I signed up, read a few pages, already had 2-3 deep learnings! BOOM!" —Jonathan Anthony
"As a master mapping out a pathway for followers, I think you've neatly avoided the common trap of being overly prescriptive and kept it to a minimum of discrete steps." —Chris Mansell
"This exercise has been great (the course has paid for itself already!) in identifying a blind spot." —Shaun Coffey
How do you make sense of all the data, information, and knowledge that passes by you each day? How do you connect with other professionals outside your organization? How do you stay current in your field and ready for career changes?
The discipline of PKM helps to develop four core work skills, identified by the Institute for the Future:
- sense-making
- social intelligence
- new media literacy
- cognitive load management
The Personal Knowledge Mastery workshops, conducted over 60 days, comprise 18 activities (60–90 minutes each), spaced through nine weeks, in addition to resources, links, and tips. Each Monday and Thursday a new assignment is posted in the online community space. People can work on their own or share in the discussion forum with other participants as they like. Harold is available to personally support all participants. At the end of the workshop, an additional week is provided for reflection or catch-up, so participants have access for 70 days in total.
This workshop has had hundreds of participants from around the world. Open workshops are scheduled to start four times per year (Winter, Spring, Summer, Fall) and participants work as part of a cohort to encourage social learning.
Custom or on-site workshops can be arranged.
See workshop outline below. All participants will receive a copy of the PKM Handbook.
Registration Fee: $(US)375
* 15% HST included for Canadian purchasers
No refunds (deferrals & substitutions may be arranged).
Registrations are confirmed by e-mail within 12 hours.
PKM is a set of processes, individually constructed, to help each of us make sense of our world and work more effectively. PKM means taking control of your professional development, and staying connected in the network era, whether you an employee, self-employed, or between jobs. The active practice of PKM can help increase Connections, develop Meaning, and improve Autonomy, all necessary skills in the network era. This can be the beginning of your journey to personal knowledge mastery.
"Your workshop with its very valuable content is very meaningful – and helpful to me. Especially 'Perpetual Beta – strong beliefs, loosely held' made me say YES! A lot of other times when I was reading your words I just thought 'thank you'." – Workshop Participant
"Therefore, if I were to comment on this program, Harold, I'd have to say it's brilliant: it offers something for all of us. But it's up to each of us to take what you offer; make SENSE of it and filter it to identify information that is immediately useful vs useful later vs less useful, then SHARE key insights formed as a result of having gone through this process." —Chemene Sinson
"I encourage you to sign up for the workshop in Personal Knowledge Mastery." —Kenneth Mikkelsen
"PKM is the perfect 'tool' for supporting culture change in both your organization and those you interact with." —Kate Pinner
Workshop participants come from a wide variety of organizations, including:
Amazon, MasterCard Foundation, National Health Service (UK), University of Kent, United Cities & Local Governments, SSAT (UK), Autodesk, BC Patient & Safety Council, University of Nebraska, National Australia Bank, Ontario Trillium Foundation, Deloitte, Carleton University, Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development, European Environment Agency, Target, CITI, CGI, AT&T, Roche, The World Bank …

I think that is exactly where the AG and state grand jury are going - follow the $GREEN$ to the politician's pockets and campaign coffers.Does anyone know the status of the slot machine raids?
It seems like business as usual in most of the raided places. Who helped to get the fix in?
When is the AG going to subpoena the city for information? The Pork was a big contributor to the political campaigns of the cohorts in power?

Rumors persist that the AG teamed has stopped by the city for "certain" records related to mechanical devices. But rumors are just what they are, rumors. The mayor and his deputy mayor have their hands full with a annoying copper theft burial detail.

We may add the Port BP gas station to the infamous list of dignitaries who are guests of the government.
It seems like Mr. Danny A. Petal might be hot bunking it with Imbrogno at the Morgantown federal institution.
Wow - Danny could get up to 30 years and $750,000 fine or both for cheating the insurance company out of about $15,000. Or, was it the penis in the microwave thing? Imbrogno gets out of Morgantown in August and Danny is sentenced on July 26.
Those with political connections and city friends continue to be in the crosshairs of the authorities.
Who might be next in the Port -- Red, Pork, or their couriers that transport paper gratuities and portraits of past presidents?

Pennsylvania's Top 10 Insurance Fraud Cases of 2006
By Insure.com - Last updated: Jan. 5, 2007
The con artists inducted into this year's Top 10 list include a fugitive minister, a few insurance agents and some just plain dumb crooks
HARRISBURG, Pa., Jan. 5 /PRNewswire/-- Imagine an insurance agent stealing money from an 85-year-old woman - money that was supposed to be going toward her life insurance policies. This scenario involves perhaps one of the most dastardly of criminals being highlighted on 2006's Top 10 Pennsylvania Insurance Fraud cases list, released today by the Insurance Fraud Prevention Authority (IFPA).
Published annually, the list also brings attention to the hard fact that insurance fraud is a felony crime. Some Pennsylvanians think that padding a claim or filing a false workers' compensation form won't land them jail time. These misconceptions oftentimes lead average consumers to commit insurance fraud and unconsciously commit a felony. In reality, these small actions, paired with large cases of fraud, are costing the insurance industry billions of dollars every year and costing innocent consumers millions of dollars in higher premiums nationwide.
If Pennsylvanians suspect a potential case of insurance fraud, they can visit http://www.helpstopfraud.org/ to locate a law enforcement agency near them or call the IFPA's fraud tip line at 1-888-565-IFPA.
Following are synopses of 2006's Top 10 cases:
1. SLIP & FALL GROUP "SLIPS" INTO PRISON GARB - Five members of a group who referred to themselves as "The Family" scammed tens of thousands of dollars from insurance companies through bogus claims.
2. MINISTER ON THE RUN - A fugitive, pretend minister swindled money from insurance companies, stole someone else's identity and alleged he would blow himself up in front of television cameras.
3. ACE NOT SO LUCKY - An insurance/tag agency was shut down for its role in passing off New Yorkers as Pennsylvania residents so they could take out low-cost Pennsylvania vehicle insurance policies.
4. PROOF? THEN IT'S MY FIRST TIME - A public adjustor was caught red- handed on an insurance agent's digital camera causing damage to a home that was supposedly a result of a storm. He later promised it was his first time. Sure.
5. TRUSTED AGENT GONE ROTTEN - An insurance agent stole nearly $167,000 of an 85-year-old woman's life insurance premiums.
6. HAND CAUGHT IN THE MONEY JAR - The treasurer of a municipality embezzled $15,000, and later supplied false information to an insurance company since her bond was revoked.
7. ATTORNEY AT FRAUD - A man submitted stolen insurance forms to insurance companies for fake injuries. He later stated he never received the checks and impersonated attorneys so they would be re-issued.
8. COP'S MEMORY BROUGHT HER DOWN - After she totaled her uninsured vehicle, a woman took out a vehicle insurance policy and reported it stolen. It's too bad the cop on the scene of the crash was the same one who recovered her "stolen" vehicle.
9. CASE OF THE STOLEN IDENTITY - A man stole an acquaintance's identity to take advantage of his health insurance, and billed more than $146,000 to five hospitals.
10. INSURANCE BROKER STOLE HIS LAST MILLION - An insurance brokerage firm owner wrote phony insurance policies for eight businesses, bilking them out of more than $1 million.

Never -- the Mob Valley elected officials and those welled connected are political Untouchables.
Yes, many should be indicted but it will never happen in my humble opinion.

Was the copper material theft at MACM by well connected employees buried like the MPD overtime and Cornell School sex scandals?
I thought that the mayor took over self appointed leadership of MCAC and should he not be responsible for investigation, possible prosecution or exoneration?
Why is his honor covering up this theft ring? Answer: Because it involves relatives of his political friends.
United States
#287 May 2, 2013
The only indictment from allof the raids executed up and down the east coast from this area will be Porky. No one else is under any type of investigation. Some of the location owners will be and have been questioned as to the cash flow they ran through those machines, but that is just to guage how much of the money laundering Porky was handling. He will then be givesn the opportunity to turn states evidence and be given Witness protection. This drug cartel money is coming from a long way.. and these machines were all part of the trail. This had NOTHING to do with anyone in the Port. Pork is from West Newton.
#288 May 2, 2013
No so sure about your analysis. The Pork does business at O'Neil Blvd in White Oak and Back Ally Vending operates out of Glassport.
Your "money laundering" theory is weak at best. There is a much easy and secure cash flow from the slots than the nefarious drug trade with higher risk and many shootings.
I cannot believe that you contend that the slots were operated under elected officials noses and law enforcement official patrols without their interest, knowledge, or concern.
I think the AG issues and missions are to determine if any elected or appointed official were paid off to facilitate uninterrupted operations of the slot machine cartel.
Once the AG and the State Grand Jury determine the business plan and ferret out the couriers of interest, the walls of corruption protection will collapse.
You seem to always want to deflect it out of town to the laundering theory. If your theory is true then why did the AG/Grand Jury subpoena the mechanical device records from the City a few weeks ago?
I guess the AG want to mate up the number of confiscated machines from the Port with the number of machines the City counted when them visited these operating locations. Fuzzy math is not an answer the Grand Jury subpoenas want to hear.
Remember a former mayor said that "the Pork was always there when we needed him." So was the "indicted Skip" when you needed him with the Palisades political galas.
How about the Pork's machines allowed to operate on City property behind the fire hall for the circus. What mayor authorized this situation?
United States
#289 May 3, 2013
It is a fact that this is a money laundering sting. I personally spoke to the magistrate where the intitial seizures occurred and arrests were performed. Also, there is another vending company involved. Has nothing to do withthe Port. BAck Alley Vending runs out of West Newton, just as the HQ of Mama Pepino's Pizza is. There are a few pizza locations.. one of them happens to be in the fawcett plan. One is franchised in Glassport, but the center location is in West Newton on West side. I am so far upin this investigation... you fools think everything runs around the port.
#290 May 3, 2013
Why did the State Grand Jury subpoena slot machine mechanical device license records from the Port that was processed by high paid individuals?
#291 May 5, 2013
Could it be that the number of confiscated machines significantly exceed the number of licensed machines? Who benefited from knocking down on the count and who protected the scheme?
This one will be simple for the AG to decode. This will be a difficult one for the mayor to explain. Who will he blame?
Is this another chink in the CCD amour?

Bend over and receive the Machine's license count. Crush. Crumble. Destroy, beyotches down and a loving thrusting tempo.
#293 May 7, 2013
You should wish that the state grand jury who subpoenaed the machine count records has a good sense of humor. I do not think the two city persons who gathered the records for the subpoena share in your despicable humor. They may have some tears running down both legs especially if indictments follow.
Mayor Mike and the Deputy Mayor have been in office long enough to get the machine count right. Enough said!

DOJ Secretly Obtains Months Of AP Phone Records; AP Condemns 'Unprecedented Intrusion'
AP | By By MARK SHERMAN Posted: 05/13/2013 4:20 pm EDT | Updated: 05/13/2013 6:39 pm EDT
WASHINGTON (AP) The Justice Department secretly obtained two months of telephone records of reporters and editors for The Associated Press in what the news cooperative's top executive called a "massive and unprecedented intrusion" into how news organizations gather the news.
The records obtained by the Justice Department listed outgoing calls for the work and personal phone numbers of individual reporters, for general AP office numbers in New York, Washington and Hartford, Conn., and for the main number for the AP in the House of Representatives press gallery, according to attorneys for the AP. It was not clear if the records also included incoming calls or the duration of the calls.
In all, the government seized the records for more than 20 separate telephone lines assigned to AP and its journalists in April and May of 2012. The exact number of journalists who used the phone lines during that period is unknown, but more than 100 journalists work in the offices where phone records were targeted, on a wide array of stories about government and other matters.
In a letter of protest sent to Attorney General Eric Holder on Monday, AP President and Chief Executive Officer Gary Pruitt said the government sought and obtained information far beyond anything that could be justified by any specific investigation. He demanded the return of the phone records and destruction of all copies.
"There can be no possible justification for such an overbroad collection of the telephone communications of The Associated Press and its reporters. These records potentially reveal communications with confidential sources across all of the newsgathering activities undertaken by the AP during a two-month period, provide a road map to AP's newsgathering operations and disclose information about AP's activities and operations that the government has no conceivable right to know," Pruitt said.
The government would not say why it sought the records. Officials have previously said in public testimony that the U.S. attorney in Washington is conducting a criminal investigation into who may have provided information contained in a May 7, 2012, AP story about a foiled terror plot. The story disclosed details of a CIA operation in Yemen that stopped an al-Qaida plot in the spring of 2012 to detonate a bomb on an airplane bound for the United States.
In testimony in February, CIA Director John Brennan noted that the FBI had questioned him about whether he was AP's source, which he denied. He called the release of the information to the media about the terror plot an "unauthorized and dangerous disclosure of classified information."
Prosecutors have sought phone records from reporters before, but the seizure of records from such a wide array of AP offices, including general AP switchboards numbers and an office-wide shared fax line, is unusual.
In the letter notifying the AP, which was received Friday, the Justice Department offered no explanation for the seizure, according to Pruitt's letter and attorneys for the AP. The records were presumably obtained from phone companies earlier this year although the government letter did not explain that. None of the information provided by the government to the AP suggested the actual phone conversations were monitored.
Among those whose phone numbers were obtained were five reporters and an editor who were involved in the May 7, 2012, story.

The state of Texas is many things to many people. To millions it is home. Texas has recently dealt with severe weather including flooding and tornados in many areas, the worst of which was in Hays County and the city of Houston. I am a resident of Hays County, I have had to deal with flooded roads, rain, high winds and losing a few shingles on my house. I am one of the lucky ones. Many others have had to deal with flooding of their homes and the loss of loved ones. To date there have been 28 deaths associated with the flooding and several of these people are still missing. There have been hundreds of houses flooded and many completely washed away. As the flood waters recede people are returning home, to find mud, mold, venomous snakes, fire ants and rodents in their homes making the clean up that much more difficult.
This is where we come in. This amazing community of quilters has rushed to help others in need countless times and this time is no different. I am asking for anyone willing to help make quits for some of those who have lost all. Please help me flood Texas with love (and quilts!)
(Photo borrowed from Cheryl Arkison)
Miss Cheryl Arkison has graciously agreed to let us use her Just One Slab block so we can #floodtexaswithlove. The blocks are made with one color per "slab," any color works (this is basically an improv block, have fun with it!) The blocks will be made using her directions and dimensions. Each block will be 15.5" square and the hope is to make quilts that will be 60" x 75" in a rainbow of colors. Add the white or don't, prints, solids, all are welcome. I would like to have all blocks in the mail by June 30th. Along with construction of the slabs I am also looking for volunteers to piece, quilt and bind these quilts.
If you can't make a block(s) you can donate through Paypal to email@example.com in any amount. All money will be used for quilt materials (batting/backings/thread/binding), shipping and long arm services. Any excess money collected will be donated to the Red Cross of Central Texas. (I am happy to provide documentation if requested to show the donations are used correctly!)
Please email me at firstname.lastname@example.com or send me a private message on Instagram @supersara20 when you are ready to ship your blocks and I will send you my mailing address.
Thank you all in advance!

Fans of Ian McEwan's wartime drama, Atonement, may have felt a dissonance when they saw Keira Knightley appear on their multiplex screens as Cecilia Tallis, not quite as they had imagined her.
The million-plus readers who pictured the serendipitous romance in David Nicholls's One Day might feel the same dissonance when they see the upcoming "film of the book" as perhaps might the legions of Haruki Murakami followers who have their imaginative bubbles burst when they revisit Norwegian Wood in its celluloid form next March. While popular works of fiction have always been ripe for cinematic reinvention, from Victor Fleming's adaptation of Margaret Mitchell's Gone with the Wind in 1939 onwards, a growing rank of risk-averse film-makers appear to be drawing on bestselling books in hope of creating the box-office commercial equivalent. The larger-scale adaptations often target multiple book stories, such as the Harry Potter series, and are accompanied by a merchandising tie-in, in the hope that the most ardent will buy also buy the T-shirt.
A multitude of popular vampire, science-fiction and fantasy narratives have been adapted in recent times from Stieg Larsson's detective trilogy and Stephenie Meyer's Twilight collection to J R R Tolkien's Lord of the Rings trilogy and Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials. These works have tread a conservative line to produce interpretations that stay fastidiously close to their narrative originals.
There are those who wonder what extra creative or interpretive dimension such faithful adherence will bring to audiences who have already read the book, while cynics suggest that trading on the loyalty of an already existing fanbase is an easy – and lazy – way of making a profit.
Next year promises the second part of the final Harry Potter series as well as DreamWorks' reimagining of the first film instalment of The Lorien Legacies series published by Penguin this summer (it will be called I Am Number Four), Kazuo Ishiguro's Never Let Me Go (whose screenplay has been written by the novelist Alex Garland) and Barney's Version, an adaptation of the eponymous bestselling book about a man's harrowing experience of Alzheimer's disease.
But is this resulting in swiftly spun, conveyor-belt adaptations with an over-reliance on commercially successful fiction? Is something vital lost in translation when a 300-page book is reduced to a 90-minute film? And what is the value of such recycled fare to readers? Books have, after all, already been imagined in their heads and run, some might say, like an internal film-reel.
Nicholls, who has both written adaptations of classic novels for television and cinema, and written screenplays for his own novels including Starter for 10, starring James McAvoy and Rebecca Hall, and One Day, starring Anne Hathaway, feels that the "shrinking" process that a book undergoes for film need not render it redundant to readers.
As a screenwriter who has adapted Thomas Hardy's Tess of the D'Urbervilles and Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing, he thinks gains can be made in the conversion from book to film, even though it is a reductive process: "You have to reduce the material in the book but you can also bring out other qualities. In Starter for 10, James McAvoy and Rebecca Hall played their characters with a warmth and amiability that was not on the page. The characters in the book were rather more abrasive.
"With Tess, my adaptation was very much about fidelity to a book that I have always loved. Most of the key dialogue came from the novel but as soon as you put something on screen, of course it changes. In casting Gemma Arterton as Tess, she took the character in a different direction to give her a kind of strength and feistiness that is not on the page. Her performance made Tess feel modern and fresh." Yet authors have expressed befuddlement when they have not been part of the conversion process. Speaking at the Woodstock Literary Festival earlier this year, Bernhard Schlink, whose 1995 novel, The Reader, was turned into a film in 2008, starring Kate Winslet (and with a screenplay by David Hare), voiced his surprise at how far the film's take on Hanna Schmitz, a former Nazi guard, diverged from the role he had created for her in the book.
The film adaptations with which authors tend to be pleased are largely the ones in which they have had some authorial control. Ian McEwan was brought on board for the making of Atonement and although the first screenplay distanced itself from the non-linear structure of the novel, Joe Wright, its director, decided to stay steadfastly faithful to the chronology of McEwan's story in the end. And it took Tran Anh Hung, the Vietnamese-French film-maker of Norwegian Wood, four years to gain approval from Murakami in order to adapt the book, and only on condition that Murakami saw the screenplay first.
The modern-day tendency towards author-friendly adaptations is far removed from bolder productions that abide by the principle that once a story leaves the author's head, it is the property of whichever film-maker who chooses to imagine it. Dr Yvonne Griggs, a lecturer at De Montfort University's dedicated Centre for Adaptations, thinks the bigger the interpretative gulf between book and film, the better.
"If you look really closely, films have always been adapted from existing texts. Most of Hitchcock's work came from other works, often by little known writers, a lot of Stanley Kubrick's work too. Texts that are revisioned rather than replicated are, as a rule, more successful. In the case of The Shining, Kubrick made it into an incredibly different kind of story from the one Stephen King wrote.
"The story actually changes so he was moving away from King's original and King was incredibly upset about that," she says.
Robert Harris, the bestselling author, has seen several of his books adapted for film, including his first novel, Fatherland, as well as Enigma, The Ghost, directed by Roman Polanski, and most recently Pompeii, which wil be released in 2011.
He believes that even authorial control over the film, or screenplay, cannot guarantee a happy ending. "Even if you have written the screenplay, you are still surprised by the outcome. You don't know what to expect because there is so much in it – the editing, acting, the pace – that determines a film's success. The actual screenplay is not a guide as to whether a film works. You can still get a bad film with a good screenplay." Although he was very happy with Polanski's treatment of The Ghost ("He is a very literary director, he was very loyal to the book"), Harris feels the biggest problem with adaptations arises from the inability of film-makers to identify what makes the book work.
"Normally books work for particular reasons. I'm amazed how often that thing that made it work has been surgically removed from the film in the process of making it. You are lucky if you get a director or screenwriter who works out what's good about a book. The people who go and see a movie are very different from the people who will read the book.
Ten million people went to see The Ghost – far more than the people who bought the book.

Jack's Back! What Cisco Eos can do for you
A little over a year ago, we introduced five new video vignettes, which helped us translate "What Cisco Eos® can do for you" through the lens of different roles in a media company, as well as for the end consumer. In the post New Videos: the Story of the Five Blind Men and an Elephant, I detailed how these videos helped us overcome the challenge of explaining what Eos is and how it can help bring value to media companies, as well as enable an engaging, interactive entertainment experience for fans.
What we discovered about these videos is that they worked. Engagement was high and we received anecdotal responses that these vignettes helped people "get" what Eos was. Presentations and collateral are great—but video can convey a lot in a pretty succinct and compelling way. These vignettes really served as conversation starters.
Since the release of the original video vignettes, the Cisco Media Solutions Group has been busy. In FY10, the team acquired five additional Eos customers who have already built 75+ Eos-powered sites. There were also almost 400 features and enhancements made to the platform within that time frame.
Today, we're launching a new set of videos with our favorite characters, carrying the story into the new features that our customers are excited about. We also wanted to show that Eos can be used by any number of entertainment related companies. In these new stories, we follow a company that manages a sports site (Ole Ole) and a fan of that site.
Without further ado, I'd like to introduce you to:
1) "Jack" the Chief Digital Officer – Actually, you may have met Jack before. He was in the last series of vignettes. He is still concerned with turning "digital" into a sustainable business, but he's also interested in managing all their data and thinking about smart ways to monetize his company's portfolio of sites.
2) "Kris" the Community Manager – Kris oversees a number of her company's sites, including the soccer site, Ole Ole. She has been tasked with figuring out what to do all the data they have access to, how to keep the communities fresh, and how to incentivize influencers. <<embed Kris video here>>
3) "Maya" the Ole Ole fan – Maya is a soccer player and big fan of the Ole Ole site. Ultimately, Jack and Kris are interested in continuing to grow the Ole Ole site and keep fans like Maya coming back and contributing. They're also looking for ways to attract more fans like Maya. <<embed Maya video here>>
You can also access these videos from our site. In addition, if you missed the first set of vignettes, you can click on the More Episodes button on the site to see the original vignettes. Happy viewing!Tags:

The consumer version of the Oculus Rift virtual reality gaming headset is likely to run off Google's Android operating system, according to the company's Chief Technology Officer.
Legendary games developer John Carmack, who is heading up the device, said the headset will probably take the form of a standalone Android system that boasts a smartphone-like processor.
In an interview with Engadget the man responsible for Doom, Quake, Rage, Wolfenstein 3D and others said: "The way I believe it's going to play out is you will eventually have a head-mounted display that probably runs Android, as a standalone system, that has a system-on-a-chip that's basically like what you have in mobile phones."
Carmack also confirmed that a new developer kit is under construction, which will make it to those keen to create immersive gaming experiences before the finished product goes on sale next year.
In a year where Microsoft and Sony are both launching next-generation consoles, the Oculus Rift has stood out as perhaps the most intriguing solution, due to its fully immersive, head-mounted display that appears to offer the best hope for the long-promised future of virtual reality gaming.
Those who've gone heads-on have overwhelmingly given Rift the thumbs up, but the device isn't quite ready for the big time just yet. It still has some kinks to work out, primarily the head tracking elements, according to Carmack.
He added: "A lot of the work at Oculus has gone into working out better position tracking. The tracking side is something that there hasn't been as much of a push for and we're frantically working on a lot of that, because that is one of the other really large issues. But we expect that the next developer kit will have higher resolution and position tracking addressing some of these significant issues."
The company is yet to announce its retail strategy for getting the headset upon the bonces of eager gamers, with Carmack saying there is debate within Oculus regarding how to handle it.

It woke to hear the first tidings of the new day, and to ask only What was the cause?
It was on the following Monday that tidings of the armistice were proclaimed.
Five days of anxiety passed in this way, without any tidings of Jeanne.
A note bearing the tidings might startle his mother too much.
As yet, they had received no tidings of the Highland army, except that it had arrived at Derby.
All through the day tidings of sorrow have been reaching us.
Their predatory bands were wandering in all directions, and almost every day came fraught with tidings of outrage or massacre.
No tidings could be gained either of the brig or the fleet of piratical junks.
But, as has been said before, Tetchen's tidings were never to be made true.
He does not know, apparently, how our commerce with the world brings us tidings of all the world.
"announcement of an event," 1069, from Old English tidung "event, occurrence, piece of news," perhaps in part a verbal noun from Old English tidan "to happen," in part from Old Norse tiðendi (plural) "events, news," from tiðr (adj.) "occurring," from PIE *di-ti- (see tide (n.)). Cf. Norwegian tidende "tidings, news," Dutch tijding, German Zeitung "newspaper."

Little dogs are fearless
We have a chiuweenie and she's fearless. She plays with my black lab like she's the BOSS. And Buddy? He'll do exactly like this lion and have her in his mouth but never bite down. While watching this my son kept saying, "Do they show the video when the lion eats the dog? Must be he's not hungry because he just ate forty people or something." Yup, or something.


text: I've got the HBAR rifle, the MT6700C. It's just like the 6601 but with a 1/9 twist and detachable carry handle instead of fixed. I got it because I wanted the 20" barrel and I actually wasn't able to get my hands on one of their LE carbines easily at the time anyway. I wanted the feel of the A-2 I used in basic training. For a practical HD weapon though, I would certainly go with the LE carbine instead. It is a few pounds lighter and much more maneuverable. Also keep in mind that the 6601 and 6700 rifles have the over sized take-down pins, so you can't customize them nearly as much as the carbines.

Help with Interior Upgrades
So, I want to do some interior upgrades, mainly a radio, with bluetooth, and a storage compartment above the radio, like the Sosche. I also want to replace the heater/ac controls and all interior lights with LEDs. What is the best way to go about those? Thanks.
Re: Help with Interior Upgrades
Hey WK05,
this kit here kit fit both 1 DIN and 2 DIN models. You will want a 1 DIN radio so you can advantage of the storage space. here is a storage bin >
Here are my top picks for 1 DIN radio models
DVD reciever radio models: http://www.crutchfield.com/s_130P520....html?tp=20217
this folds up and is very high end. ^ ^ ^
that is a somewhat great single DIN that is much cheaper.
Check out the rest of crutchfield for more information
BOth those radios have bluetooth
As for A/C and lights, I will coming back to see if anyone else has knowledge on those.
Hope this helps.
Re: Help with Interior Upgrades
as for replacing the ac/heater controls with LEDs it is a bit challenging. Here's a thread by TimmyB who did it. http://www.jeepgarage.org/showthread...ght=timmy+leds
as for the other interior lights(maplights,dome,visor,etc) it should be much easier. just find the correct bulb and switch it with the stock ones.
Re: Help with Interior Upgrades
So If I have the stock radio and want to upgrade to a 1 DIN Radio, what all will I need to make it look good?
Re: Help with Interior Upgrades
i think you will need a navigation bezel
Re: Help with Interior Upgrades
nav bezel, and metra adapter, as well as a wiring harness for the radio to work, i do not know the exact kind off the top of my head...
Re: Help with Interior Upgrades
How much does a nav bezel run?
Re: Help with Interior Upgrades
on your year veh depends on the interior color but anywhere between $70 - $110
Or you can always do something like adding the REN or REC NAV radios that will make it look OEM

Dodge Ram Van Conversion Window Replacement...
Well a while ago, about 3 years ago I quit playing golf. The reason why I quit other then no time was mostly because of the custom made window that I broke on my van, though not my van at that time. Well anyways for a while after I acquired the van I spent time looking around for a window for it and surely I did come up with some people but the window would be around 200 Bucks, the window would be made by Creation Windows who went out of business the same year the window broke so they were still around. Well I had planned on replacing the window then and the price was what prevented anyone from doing anything, seen how the van had alot of mechanical problems at the time. Well I went searching again about a week ago and found a guy who was able to track down just the glass for 179 bucks. I really hate to replace just the glass because I don't have all the tools etc to replace the glass and hiring some glass guy would cost a fortune. So I had been waiting to go to the junk yard that had a 96 Dodge Conversion Van, converted by the same Conversion company Sherry Designs Inc... Well I went their yesterday and the van their had the framed window I needed, the frame design scheme didn't match but the size was exactly the same and it was a Custom made for Sherry, Creation Window. So I removed the window from the van and along with other little nick nacks to keep like fuses, wires, relays, headlight bulbs, and an extra TV. I would of pulled all the other windows off the keep as back-ups incase but didn't have the money to do so. I would if I had the space had taken the fiber glass top off the van as well to keep as backup. But I will just have to be careful when I drive to not damage anything... Bless me with that.
Well I bought the window for 24.99 and the TV was 10.00 and their ya go a new window.
I had done a ton of mechanical and some electrical work and done a load of wood work inside the van, sanding it down and polyurethaning it. I did most of the wood but not all, wasn't really required to do all.
I had replace the vent window also about 2 weeks ago because the frames on the old ones had rusted very bad.

Panic rooms and gun safes on rise in London luxury homes
By Tom Bill
LONDON (Reuters) - Panic rooms, gun safes and machinegun-proof doors are increasingly appearing in London homes as super-rich foreign newcomers bring their security fears to the UK capital.
Many wealthy homebuyers are drawn to the political stability of London and the buoyancy of its property market. But concerns about the kind of lawlessness typical of their home countries or fears of reprisal from business or political opponents mean they demand the most hi-tech security systems around.
"I recently showed a property to a billionaire eastern European and when he walked outside I presumed he had gone to look at the wonderful garden," said Andrew Langton, managing director of high-end estate agent Aylesford. "He was actually inspecting the buildings that overlooked it."
Overseas investment in top London homes used to be dominated by Middle Eastern oil money and U.S. bankers, but the current financial crisis and political tensions in areas like North Africa and Russia mean over 100 nationalities now park money in top London property, said property agent Savills.
The capital does not have the same reputation for danger as cities like Cape Town or Rio de Janeiro, but incidents in recent years demonstrate overseas residents are not necessarily safe from their foes in London.
In 2009, former Russian spy Alexander Litvinenko was killed with radioactive polonium in London. In March this year, a Russian banker was shot five times and badly injured, later claiming his former business partners were behind the attack.
Russian tycoon Boris Berezovsky, a Kremlin insider-turned-critic now based in London, told Reuters: "There is no place safer than London from Kremlin bandits or from Russian or international criminals. But that of course is no guarantee they won't get you. Continued...

Yeah. Moved to a new apartment. We rode in the car for 6 hours. Then had movers bring in furniture and boxes. I lived under the bed for a couple of months. Really. Lived under the bed. Refused to come out except to go to the bathroom (litter box was in the bathroom). I graduated to creeping out from under the bed after mom was home from work for awhile. But I ran under the bed if I heard the slightest noise. Then I would come out during the day, but run under the bed when mom got home, and eventually come out. FINALLY, I got to where I would stay out during the day, AND stay out when mom came home, and when I heard noises. That process only took about 6, 7, 8 months? Yup. I'm a little cautious. Or neurotic. Either way. I'm good now. Me and Sash.
Yes, that's what they call it. More like torture.
One morning, Mom and Dad wouldn't feed us breakfast. Then, Mom herded Sasha into a box-thing with a wire mesh front - he was trapped! But then they turned on me! I wasn't prepared, and they caught me and shoved me into a little soft-sided bag-thing. But I had an accident... Pee... So then Mom tried to get the bottom pad out of the bag-thing, and I bolted out. Then they spent 10 minutes chasing me around the apartment before finally catching me again. Mom and Dad carried us to a monster, and we rode in its belly for awhile. Sasha puked all over his box. So, we got to the vet smelling like cat-pee and cat-puke. We both behaved when we got there, but sheesh. What the point was, I don't know. When we got home, I hid under the bed for two days. I wasn't going to chance it again! I'm still a bit wary of them. Who do they think they are, anyway?
I really felt special when I got on Catster and discovered I had been Cat of the Day. I was so sad that I missed it! But, I especially felt loved when I saw all of the kitties who left me messages, posts, rosettes, stars, special gifts and treats. I wanted to sincerely thank you all for thinking of me on my day in the spotlight.

It doesn't mean that every job is an open check and how ever many hours you work on it you will be paid. I too feel sorry for the poor dolt who would turn over a project to someone without so much as an estimate as to how much it will cost.
However, this doesn't change the fact that you need SOME KIND of idea what your "hourly rate" is before you give that "fixed price".
Very true Brian. My point being we don't have enough information from the OP to even begin to guess where his shop rate needs to be.
Pic below is a pair of parts I make and sell. For size reference, the largest diameter is about 2 1/4". The two parts sell as a pair for $45, and represent $3 worth of material and a total of 9 minutes of time on a cnc lathe.
The same parts can be made on a manual lathe in about an hour apiece, using the same $3 worth of material, but they're still only worth $45.
My theoretical shop rate on these parts would work out to $280/hr, while the shop rate for doing the same thing on a manual lathe is $21/hr. In reality, I can gross between $200 and $225/hr on these because there's always something here or there that eats up time. Because there's 2 dimensions on each part with a +/-.0003" tolerance, they'd likely have an actual gross more in the range of $15/hr on a manual lathe due to increased scrap rates.
The price of admission to make the jump from $15 to $200+ is $100,000 worth of machine and tooling. The real question becomes how much CAN I charge rather than how much SHOULD I charge. The answer in this case is $45/
because I own about 90% of the worldwide market for this relatively low volume part. Doesn't matter if someone else spends 6 hours making the same thing, because your competition sets your price, and I'm the competition for this item regardless of where you're located. The OP is faced with the same problem of prices set by the competition, so he really has to look at what the competition charges for various jobs and work backward from there to see what his rate would have to be to make himself competitive based on his own skill level and available equipment. For any of us to make even a halfway guess at a competitive rate, we'd need to know more about his skill level, equipment, and the type of work he plans to seek out. Unfortunately, there's no flat rate manual for what I do or what he's planning to do.

This year at CES, TV manufacturers are showing off 4K televisions. But one TV maker is leapfrogging the 4K hype and is showing off a new 85″ 8K LCD. Known as Super Hi-Vision TV, the Sharp 8K LCD has a resolution of 7,630 by 4,320 pixels, or 16 times the resolution of current high definition TVs.
"The products we are showcasing demonstrate Sharp's passion for creating innovative technologies that exceed consumers' expectations," said John Herrington, president of Sharp Electronics Marketing Company of America, a division of Sharp Electronics Corporation. "From large screen televisions to interactive touchscreen displays to the latest in solar technology, the products on display are designed to enhance people's lives at home, work, and everywhere in between."
According to Jeff leopold, of Sharp, the 8K resolution provides a measure of depth, immersiveness and crystal clear sharpness that mimics 3D. Now, unfortunately, 8K technology is only in the prototype stage and won't be affordably available to the public until around 2020. The main issue is that there simply isn't any content in 8k. Hell, there isn't hardly any content available in 4K, which is the flavor of CES this year for televisions. But with more companies putting out 4K cameras, and with Hollywood embracing the 4K standard, 4K content will be catching up in 2012 and beyond.
4K offers 4 times the resolution and clarity of HD, and RED has begin shipping 4K cameras in their new RED Scarlet. And JVC announced a consumer grade 4K camcorder at CES this year which will ship for $4995 in March. Sharp says that while 8K is still about 8 years away, they've got plenty of 4K sets to keep videophiles busy. Over the next 90 days, Sharp will be announcing 17 4K LCDs, including 80-inch LCD TV, with LED back-lighting. In addition, Sharp is announcing their new ICC technology. ICC stands for Integrated Cognitive Creation and promises a clearer, more lifelike image (as if 4K all by itself wouldn't blow people away). The ICC-4K technology also manages to improve video signal from 1080p by "intelligently up-scaling" it and giving it viewing equivalent to the natural world.
The 80 inch back-lit LED TV, known as the LC-80LE844U is part of the ultra thin Sharp AQUOS® line and will also show 3D video as well. That makes it the world's first 80-inch screen size class 3D LED TV, and that will more than double the screen area of the current 55-inch class. Tje LE844U also shows video in ultra crisp 240Hz (4 times broadcast TV) and uses Sharp's 4 color Quattron™ technology. Now that means that it will virtually eliminate blur during fast-moving video, but that isn't always a good thing. Many viewers complain that since most video is broadcast at 60hz, the TV has to insert, or interpolate frames to bring it up to 24hz. That can cause the ultra sharp video to create a plastic, "soap opera" like effect to video. That may be fine for an episode of All My Children, but couldn't be a bit off putting for viewing of regular TV like Terra Nova or even watching Star Wars on Blu-ray. But on the other hand, it's also good for watching live sporting events where a crisper image translates to better detail.
Other features of the LE844U include integrated WiFi and TV apps such as Netflix®, Hulu®, Facebook®, CinemaNow® and YouTube™ for streaming internet video.

7/25/2013 by BY MARK MUNSON
You know what a ?Do-Over? is, don?t you? That?s when you mess something up, but you get another chance to make it right when you try it again. I used to get ?do-overs? every Sunday when I was a little kid. My family was fully involved in church work when I was growing up. My mother taught Sunday School and my father was in charge of taking up the offering and counting the money every Sunday. This makes perfect sense since Dad was a banker. Well sir, this also meant that we sat together as a family in the auditorium when ?big church? came around. All went well until I got to wiggling around, which was every Sunday. As a result of my worship activities, so to speak, Dad would come home every Sunday and speak harshly to my backside, if you get my drift. But the next Sunday I had a chance to do a ?do over?, and I did, and he did!
??Now this brings me to?the subject of my devotion, which is ?Do Overs?. In Jeremiah 29:14?, we find that the Lord offered Israel a ?do over?, if they would promise to love Him and seek Him with all their hearts. To that promise, He gave His own: ?You will call to Me and seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart. And if they did seek Him with all their heart, then He promised to restore them to the land He had taken them from, the land of Canaan, where they would stay and no longer be carried away from in captivity. The reason He let them experience the results of their rebellion was because they had turned their backs on Him and had told Him in essence to leave them alone! That?s exactly what He did. He left them to their own devices, and the result was that Assyria and Babylon came and carried them off in captivity to their own lands.
?? I?m afraid that there are a mighty lot of us who, from time to time, tell God to leave us alone, that we want to do our own thing, and you know what? He does. So we find ourselves in some kind of turmoil or another. We are like the man who was bothered about his taxes. He couldn?t sleep, he couldn?t eat without stomach problems, and his health was in a total turmoil. Finally, out of great guilt, he wrote the IRS. He told them, ?I can?t stand it no more! I can?t sleep. I can?t eat, and I can find no peace! Enclosed you will find a check for $50.00. If I still can?t sleep after that, I?ll send you the balance!?
?? Here?s the thing. We know we should be following the Lord a lot more closely than we do, we need to read His Word more, we need to worship Him in His church, and we know we should be telling others about His goodness towards us, but like this guy, we are only doing so, half heartedly. The blessing we need to remember is that God desires for us to walk close with Him, and He is ready to forgive us and to give us anther ?do over? more than we realize. When God forgives, He really forgives. He doesn?t hit us over the head with guilt. That?s what the devil does. Instead, He showers us with His love and fellowship. And when we walk in His fellowship, we understand what a ?do over? really is.?
?? So if you have wandered away like Israel did, let me encourage you to come back, because God has a great ?do over? made especially for you.

My mom always battled weight and I've been up and down too. She finally lost 100 lbs through WW and we were going to have surgery together. Hers a whole body lift and mine a TT. Long story short, she died from breast cancer before we could do our surgeries but even though she was far from a vain woman she always said, don't spend your life in a body you hate - if you can fix it, fix it. So I'm going on with my surgery - breast lift/implant exchange, full TT and inner thigh lipo and a pain pump ;). I don't expect perfect but I want to be able to sit without having to stuff my stomach into my jeans or have my BF touch my stomach without me quickly moving his hand away. The implant exchange and lift? It's just time. I had them put in in the late 80's and they've held up ok. - they're saline One is kinda hard when I lie down and I want them soft and jiggly again - going with silicone and a donut lift to reduce the areola size a bit.
I consulted with 5 docs and had decided on one until I went to my 6th appointment. There was no contest then - Dr. O'Toole was the right choice for me. He told me exactly how he achieves great belly buttons, he asked how my breasts would look in a perfect world and then set a plan to bring that to reality. His staff is great, too. I just had my pre-op appointment last week and all is set for the surgery on 12/12/12! I'm not nervous - I feel totally sure of my choice and cannot wait until I'm home Wednesday night and can begin the painful journey to satisfaction.
