Once upon a time some British Guys did a bunch of really funny stuff. Today, those British guys are still lauded for that stuff they did forever ago. Now, you can join in an the crazy laud-fest with these awesome, hilarious designs from Shirt.Woot!
I was wearing my "I'm a Lumberjack" shirt while waiting to pickup a rental car in the office. There was a guy there that sort of sheepishly said to me "You don't look like a lumberjack". I'm 5'0" at 120lbs. So, no, I don't. Made me laugh. Made the shirt worth it.
why can't this side sale be on AA shirts? sigh...
No http://shirt.woot.com/offers/keepers-of-the-shrubbery? That is one of my favorites!
I happen to have A Simple Question of Weight Ratios in a medium AA long sleeve shirt if any one is interested! $10 plus exact shipping from 72764 to you!
Arrrrrghhhhh, Black Knight is so good on a hoodie. But I have too many hoodies already!
Shirt designs too vague but I really like Witch..!, Migratory Birds and Black Knight. Try incorporating "grail" or something obvious. "laud-fest" = cringe-fest. Buyers concerned with clever shirts, not ambitious copywriting.
I have to be a history nerd here, and point out that the coat of arms on the Black Knight hoodie is, by heraldic rules, incorrect. Monty Python is usually fairly accurate with their arms and other historic details, so this coat of arms (lol arms) being wrong is a disservice to the Python.
The only change that's needed to make it legal would be to change the two black limbs that are on black panels to silver.
What, no Fish Slapping Dance? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i9SSOWORzw4
Or Dead Parrot? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=npjOSLCR2hE
No, it all has to be about the Grail. Not even from the other films, especially clips like "Every Sperm is Sacred" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fUspLVStPbk, or "Bright Side of Life," both from Life of Brian
And not even a thin mint, to honor Mr. Creosote from The Meaning of Life, in which he blows? Up, that is. From bucket to splatter, you can see the full scene here: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xd0rg9_monty-python-mr-creosote_fun
Honestly, I'm just... Well, saddened and disappointed in you, Woot.
I need to shower away the shame I feel with a few random clips from the show, And Now For Something Completely different. You can join me, here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K2P86C-1x3o&list=RDK2P86C-1x3o
I have the "They call me... Tim" shirt. I love the design, but the picture is a little misleading. The shirt color is considerably darker to the point where Tim's body almost blends into the shirt.
"Garcon, a new bucket for Monsieur...and perhaps a hose."
This sale is mirrored over on woot's main site now, by the way...
Wow-zer, I will be at the final night of the London shows. I just ordered my "I'm a lumberjack" shirt.
So a "Jersey" hoodie is a light-weight hoodie. Good to know.

Stanley is still in a state of shock from the legacy of deception and depravity left by bulger.
She said Greig was always warm and friendly, but bulger was not.
To Connolly and Morris, bulger was a TE, or top-echelon informant, the highest designation in the Bureau for a snitch.
To some, it was hard to believe that bulger had been captured.
When they parted ways, he and bulger "shook hands and he said he would be in touch."
bulger had felt no unkindness toward Bean for thus supplanting him in a desirable post.
bulger recognized him at the same moment, and, with an imprecation, seized him.
At the moment Desmond thought that bulger was drawing the long bow.
bulger swore like a trooper, blaming his pal for the catastrophe.
By and by bulger seemed to become aware that someone was gazing at him, for he turned round slowly.

New Samsung tablets will have richer color screens
New tablet computers from Samsung will feature screens that are richer in color than standard LCDs.
These screens, known as AMOLED for active-matrix organic light-emitting diodes, are already found in smartphones made by Samsung and a few other manufacturers. But until now, tablets haven't used them because larger AMOLED screens are more difficult to produce.
Samsung Electronics Co. is trying to change that with its upcoming line of Android tablets, called the Galaxy Tab S. On Thursday, Samsung announced two such models, with screens of 8.4 inches and 10.5 inches, as measured diagonally.
Samsung is the world's second-largest maker of tablets, behind Apple and its trend-setting iPads. In recent years, Samsung has been gaining market share - at Apple's expense - by offering a wide range of sizes and quality.

Make Your Next Wiring Job Easier with Mille-Rods!
This high quality, affordable product is the ideal wire-pulling system for the amateur and professional user alike. Mille-Rods enables the installation of wire/cable through and behind walls, under carpets and baseboards and in the ceiling.
One of the most frustrating parts of any remodelling or electronics installation job is running the wires. You probably spend way too much time grasping for wires, bending coat hangers and having your partner shine a flashlight into the hole in the wall so you can see where the end is...and that's what led you here!
The Mille-Rod is a "push pull" rod set that you can assemble in to lengths up to 14' (more with multiple sets). Just cut your holes, push the Mille-Rod in one hole and out the other, twist o one of the handy attachments to put your wire through, then pull.
Why Mille-Rod?
- Safety - if you're using a hanger, or some other makeshift device that's metal you're exposing yourself to the risk of shock from live wires in the walls..or at the least of creating a spark that could result in fire. The MUCH more expensive fiberglass rods that the Pros use can shatter, have metal tips and, since they're fiberglass can leave your hands raw.
Convenience - The Mille-Rod sets weigh less than 1lb and come in an 18" carry tube. Have you used Fish Tape? Talk about excersize! However we are able to relax and take a break on comfortable office furniture purchased at Quill.com
- Cost - Your new Mille-Rod Polymer 7' standard set is just $19.95. Not only are these sets competetively priced, but they also come with 5 accessory heads at no extra charge! The 14' Set it just $29.95. http://www.mille-com.com/store/ The less convenient Pro sets are in 6' lenghts (storage?) and can be $80 or more.
Take a few minutes and watch the videos below for an in depth demonstration and to find out what comes with the set - then order one for yourself! 2 of the videos below describe the Rods in detail. We have upgraded the standard attachments since these were shot, replacing the gender changer with a more useful Claw. Once you're done watching the video..just click here to buy: http://www.mille-com.com/store/

10 hardest cars to find for 2013
A few years ago, Akio Toyoda, the president of Toyota Motor and grandson of the companys founder, lamented that there was no passion in Toyotas vehicle lineup. He vowed to make cars that people would lust after and that would be fun to drive.
It appears he succeeded with the Scion FR-S, a nimble, rear-wheel-drive sports coupe that is flying out of Toyota showrooms. Introduced in June with a sticker price of $25,255, the FR-S (and its virtual twin, the Subaru BR-Z) is an affordable sports car that has proven especially popular with young, college-educated men. The demand has been terrific, according to Toyota spokesman Greg Thome, who says Scion expects to sell about 11,000 this year.
The problem is that supply is limited. Dealers can barely keep it in stock, selling each one within an average of just 15 days of its arrival in the showroom. Most cars are in dealer inventory for about two months before they are sold. Subaru, which manufactures both cars in Japan, is facing the same problem. The BR-Z is selling in an average of 18 days. The companies havent announced any plans to increase production, which means theyll likely remain hard to get in 2013.
Theyre not the only cars in short supply these days. Ford Motors new C-Max hybrid is also a hot-seller, spending an average of just 17 days on dealer lots. Ford says fuel economy is now the top purchase consideration for car buyers and that customers are excited about having an alternative to the top-selling Toyota Prius hybrid. Ford has promoted the C-Max as a hybrid that doesnt sacrifice driving fun, performance and technology.
Forbes checked with automotive researcher Edmunds.com to find out which cars are the most scarce this season. Edmunds.com tracks average days to turn, which is the average number of days vehicles were in dealer inventory before a customer drives them away.

They're bringing out the turbo version next model year (at least Subie is, not sure about Toyota). That'll make them even more hard to get.
Good thing all those cars suck.

Just Another Crappy Day At Work

Customer: "…so I need this cake to resemble a big dog turd. Can you guys do that?"
Me: "Don't worry, sir; our decorator will make sure your cake looks like crap!"

I was born in 1930 when nations like the USA or England or France or Spain actually had something that was termed, "the working class." To be a member of the working class meant to feel and practice solidarity with all those who worked for a living. If asked, we responded with pride that we were not middle class folk, but part of the working class. I recall one summer, while still a teenager, going for a job that was advertised in the paper. When I arrived, there was a picket line and, naturally, I expressed my support to fellow workers, and then departed because to cross the picket line was to undercut the rights of my fellow workers. This spirit is no longer alive in the United States or in nations like England. Most, prefer identifying with the nebulous idea of "middle class."
Recent events in Wisconsin demonstrated how union members today turn their backs on fellow union members. They support groups like the Tea Party whose interests are with the wealthy or America, not those who are in the underclass. In fact, the presence of 17,000,00 unemployed only proves the underclass is growing and all too many workers identify with their enemies. Perhaps, one day those who are unemployed will have enough sense to cease voting for Tea Party or Republicans and recognize their self interests are with those in poverty, those who lack health care, and those who belong to unions.
Mystery of Life: Why do people working for low wages worry about wealthy people being compelled to pay an extra 3% in higher taxes?

IT'S pretty clear that when it comes to social media, you're a liability.
Passwords get stolen, accounts get hacked, and sometimes, you're just a bit of a prat.
But what if you could insure against public humiliation?
A UK based company has launched social media insurance to protect people's online reputations and data.
iAllow will help bury search engine results of your embarrassing social media incident to make it harder for people to find.
If your account has been hacked, your identity stolen, iallow will take legal steps to try and discover the perpetrator's identity.
Head of communications at iAllow, Joe Wiggins told News Ltd that the company wanted to help people realise how easy it was to be careless with social media.
"(It) could result in them losing their job or being the victim of crime, for example," he said.
iAllow conducts a risk report to find out exactly where your personal information is stored online and analyses where your data and privacy is at risk. Then a team of people will work to fix the problem to ensure it doesn't happen again.
Mr Wiggins said that the company - which used to provide educational tools to prevent against data or privacy breaches - was getting inundated with news of account hacking and hijacking almost every day.
"We felt there was a niche for this," he said.
Mr Wiggins said the company couldn't insure against trolling or bullying, but if your online behaviour had earned you a parody site, or if a fake account had been set up in your name, it would work to have the accounts shut down.
The service costs between 3.20 pounds ($AU4.95) and 3.99 pounds ($AU6.18) a month.

UC Athletics TV Spots and Opening Videos Nominated for Regional Emmy Awards
CINCINNATI – The University of Cincinnati Department of Athletics has been nominated for a Regional Emmy Award for its work with Columbus-based MediaSource in developing and producing last year's TV commercials and CATSvision videos for Bearcats football and basketball, the Ohio Valley Chapter of the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences (NATAS) announced.
"Our main goal with our CATSVISION films is to excite the crowd and tell the story of the team and the sport," says Senior Associate Director of Athletics Mike Waddell. "When you combine a great product like UC Athletics with a creative juggernaut like MediaSource and producers Rick Green and Robert Leitch you get a winning combination that 'Represent's the C' with pride and distinction. We look forward to a long standing relationship with MediaSource and are very proud of our combined efforts."
UC Athletics' advertising agency of record since 2006, the Leffler Agency, was also a creative driver with these elements. A full service advertising agency with offices in Baltimore, Tampa and Providence, Leffler Agency is a national specialty house in sports/entertainment/media with a concentration on university and professional revenue sports programs. Among the Agency's current 44 clients are Penn State, Kansas, Nebraska and Navy from college sports and Baltimore Ravens, Baltimore Orioles, Tampa Bay Buccaneers from professional sport.
The two fully-integrated marketing strategies included TV, radio, and print promotions carrying two different messages. The 2009 football spots (2009 Football Commercial) were based on the theme "Next Fan In," a takeoff of the team's theme "Next Man In," while men's basketball (2009-10 Men's Basketball Commercial) was centered around a tag line of "What is Cincinnati Basketball."
The football opening video titled "Welcome to the Show" integrated studio footage of the players with highlights. "Get Up," the title of the men's basketball opening video set to 50 Cent's song of the same title, includes action of the UC men's basketball team performing tricks and dunks in the gym while involving crowd shots and highlights from the previous season.
The Emmy Awards Ceremony is scheduled for the evening of Saturday, July 31 at The Hilton Easton in Columbus, Ohio. More information regarding the Ohio Valley Regional Emmy Awards visit www.OhioValleyEmmy.org.

It is 2:00am on Saturday and I am on the Green Line coming from China Town. I'm standing at the door waiting to get off at U Street and a young guy standing next to me, reaches over, grabs my inner thigh and squeezes it. I can't believe what just happened. I look over at my boyfriend who is standing on the other side of me, not far behind and say very loudly, "This guy just grabbed my thigh."
We exit the train and as we do, we see him grab anther woman's thigh. We are both in shock. He walks past us on the escalator and my boyfriend grabs his arm and says, "I just watched you grab two women. You need to stop grabbing women." The guy runs up the escalator and as we cross the street at 14th and U we see him grab another woman before he continues to run down U Street.

I have yet to have a nuc overwinter.
How was the fall in the northeast? We were under severe drought in the SE and I was wondering if you had a similar drought in the NE. I know the midwest was flooding at some point in the fall. All my hives were started after July 20 and so never could build up in the drought.
Bjorn, looks to me like sites 5-8 all had high death rates........(over 50%) do they have something in common????As for overwintering nucs, everthing I have read form people who are successful at it mention bundling or some sort of community shielding from the elements.I have pondered (just that mind you) putting nucs over a regular hive with a separator screen or queen excluder.... sharing warmth thought.......a also wonder how much the type of nuc box matters? if beemax boxes help so much then would a foam nuc box be the answer?
Quote from: beehuntertrapper on March 24, 2009, 10:28:10 PMI have yet to have a nuc overwinter. Being from an area where winter are long and cold, myself, I was wondering if anyone has much success with overwintering in nucs. It just seems to me that there is really no way of getting enough bees and stores in that small box to sustain themselves through a long winter. And if so many are having problems with overwintering in nucs, isn't there a better option for those bees.... like combining in the fall or something else?

Re: Changes to Representation of Others Before the United States Patent and Trademark Office, 68 Fed. Reg. 69442 (December 12, 2003)
Dear Director Moatz:
Genentech, Inc. ("Genentech") appreciates the opportunity to comment on the proposed rule and practice changes described in Part 1 and Part 11, Subparts A-C in the Notice of proposed rulemaking. We also are grateful for the additional time granted to respond to Subpart D.
Genentech is a biotechnology company based in South San Francisco, California. Our mission is to be the leading biotechnology company, using human genetic information to discover, develop, manufacture and commercialize biotherapeutics that address significant unmet medical needs. Genentech commits itself to high standards of integrity in contributing to the best interests of patients, the medical profession, our employees and our communities, and to seeking significant return to our stockholders based on the continued pursuit of excellent science.
Patents are a fundamental aspect of our business. Since Genentech was founded more than 27 years ago, we have filed thousands of patent applications to protect our inventions, and we continue to file new applications on a regular basis. At any given time, we typically have hundreds of applications pending before the Office. As a Legal Department having more than 20
COMMENTS ON PROPOSED BOARD RULES - GENENTECH, INC. Page 2
patent professionals, we have a vested interest in holding our practitioners to the highest ethical standards.
Specific Comments
We offer the following comments with respect to the noted sections of proposed Section 11 of title 37 of the C.F.R.
§ 11.2(d)
We believe that the fee required under this section for a petition to review a decision of the OED Director should be refunded if a determination is made that the OED Director acted improperly.
§§ 11.8(d) and 11.11(b)
Proposed § 11.8(d) would require each registered patent practitioner to pay an annual fee. We appreciate that the USPTO must be provided sufficient funds to cover the costs of the disciplinary system for patent attorneys and agents and maintain the currency of the roster of registered practitioners. However, until the problem of USPTO fee diversion is solved, we do not believe that an annual fee should be charged. This proposal would create significant administrative burdens that would be underfunded and understaffed without clear assurances that the moneys received in supposed dedication to this cause would not be diverted to other areas of the government.
The consequences of failure to pay the annual fee proposed in § 11.8 pursuant to proposed § 11.11 (b) would be suspension. The suspended practitioner would not be able to practice before the USPTO and would be subject to investigation and discipline while suspended. These consequences would be unnecessarily severe for someone who inadvertently fails to pay the annual fee on time and does not timely receive the prescribed notices from the OED regarding payment of this fee. While automatically suspended, such a practitioner is likely to continue to prosecute applications until receiving actual notice. This would cause undue burdens for the OED and the practitioner, and furthermore would leave in question the status of applications that the practitioner processed while unknowingly suspended. The rule should be revised to address this scenario.
§ 11.10(a)
This section would only allow practitioners who are registered or are given limited recognition to prosecute patent applications of others before the Office. While "prosecution" is not defined anywhere in these proposed rules, proposed § 11.5(b) defines "practice before the Office" as including preparing and prosecuting any patent application, participating in drafting a patent application, and participating in drafting an amendment or reply to a communication from the USPTO. The ambiguity created by this rule would preclude administrative assistants or
COMMENTS ON PROPOSED BOARD RULES - GENENTECH, INC. Page 3
paralegals who work under the direction of a registered practitioner to assist, for example, in the preparation of a patent application or Office Action even under the direct supervision of a registered practitioner. We do not believe that the common practice of such assistants to work under the guidance of a practitioner should be discontinued.
§ 11.12
While in principle we support a requirement for continuing education as set forth in this section, we are concerned that such a program would create an administrative burden on the USPTO that would not be covered by sufficient guaranteed funds, since the current fees are subject to diversion.
If, however, such a program is adopted, we ask that the USPTO approve the programs already allowed for obtaining continuing legal education credit from any state bar, to avoid inefficiencies. This recommendation would still allow the USPTO to come up with its own educational program as another option for fulfilling those requirements.
Proposed § 11.12(a)(2) states that failure to consult the OG or the OED web site for announcements of eligible CLE programs and starting dates for completing each program will not excuse a practitioner from completing the mandatory continuing legal education program. Since such programs are the only ones to be offered in fulfillment of the requirements, this rule would require periodic reminders to review the OG and/or OED web sites, and appears to provide a harsh consequence for failure to check the OG or such web site at the appropriate time. It would be more helpful if the Office could provide periodic written notices by postal mail or email to serve as reminders to practitioners to check these sites if review thereof is imperative.
§ 11.13(g)(4)
This section would exclude certain entities as sponsors of continuing legal education, i.e., law firms, professional corporations and corporate law departments. The preclusion of this targeted group seems unduly restrictive, since such entities are often sponsors of CLE programs approved by many state bars. We see no reason for this seemingly arbitrary exclusion.
§ 11.20(a)(2)
This proposed rule allows the Director to impose a sanction by striking the filing of any document or dismissing the filing of an application with prejudice. The Office should clarify whether this striking is the same as expunging a document from the record of a USPTO file, with appropriate examples included of how this would be applied. Also, the meaning of the phrase "dismissing the filing of an application with prejudice" is unclear, and it is not altogether certain that the USPTO has the authority to make such a dismissal.
COMMENTS ON PROPOSED BOARD RULES - GENENTECH, INC. Page 4
§ 11.22(i)
The Office proposes that a respondent must respond to a complaint within a 60-day time period (an initial 30 days and one extension of no more than 30 days). This time period appears to be too restrictive, since preparing such response is a complex matter and a third party often must be contacted to obtain necessary facts in its sole possession. Hence, we suggest that the USPTO allow the OED Director discretion to grant additional extensions of time as necessary for a particular case.
§ 11.35(a)(1)
Since the sentence structure of this proposed rule in its outlined context does not make sense, we propose that at the end of this section, before the (i) and (ii) subsections, the phrase be added: "Such delivery is to:" This appears to be the meaning in view of the later subparts such as (a)(3) and (a)(4). We note that § 11.35(a)(2) appears to be missing.
§ 11.36(d)
We generally support this section that failure to file a timely answer to a disciplinary proceeding complaint will constitute an admission of the allegations in the complaint and may result in entry of default judgment. However, this seemingly absolute rule needs to be clarified to include an exception in the case where the complaint was not received and respondent had no opportunity to address the allegations in the complaint.
We appreciate the opportunity to offer comments on the proposed changes to the Office's procedures.
Sincerely yours,
Janet E. Hasak
Associate General Counsel - Patent Law

Kenny Britt caught seven passes for a career-high 225 yards and three scores despite being benched for one quarter and the short-handed Tennessee Titans beat the visiting Philadelphia Eagles 37-19 on Sunday.
Tennessee won its third straight game overall and 12th in a row over the NFC by outscoring Philadelphia 27-3 in the fourth quarter. Cortland Finnegan's 41-yard interception return for a touchdown as time expired capped the outburst.
Britt, who was benched as punishment for his involvement in a bar fight on Friday, caught touchdown passes of 26, 80 and 16 yards from backup quarterback Kerry Collins.
Britt's huge game helped the Titans (5-2) improve to 17-1 in their last 18 games against NFC opponents. The second-year receiver recorded the Titans' first 200-yard receiving game since Drew Bennett in 2004.
Collins, meanwhile, finished 17 for 31 for 276 yards and two interceptions in place of the injured Vince Young, who is recovering from a sprained knee and ankle.
Kevin Kolb was 26 of 48 for 231 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions for the Eagles (4-3), who turned the ball over four times.
Philadelphia held a 16-7 lead early in the third quarter and was going in for another score before LeSean McCoy's fumble at the 3-yard line changed the momentum.

About Me
I am a 'down to earth' gardener with perpetually dirty fingernails. I own a whole wardrobe of well worn and comfortable gardening duds and I am a sucker for gardening gadgets galore! I love to blog about the gardening world, it's fads and trends and have personally killed most plants at least once. I am a gardening designer by profession but there is no rhyme or reason to my own garden. If I want a plant, I buy and stick it somewhere just because I 'need' it!
Gardening is my passion and I find it leads you to other interests, such as cooking, entertaining, decorating, and flower arranging. So, stay tuned!

Robben Ford - Blues Update
Sophistication. The term describes Robben Ford's music on a number of levels. The eclectic musician he regularly touches on blues, jazz, R&B, rock blends instrumental and lyrical ideas into a package so elegant, yet musically invigorating, it's hard to say whether it's more soulfully sweet or rippin jazz-bluesy. Either way, Ford's compositions often take standard blues riffs or rhythm & blues progressions, then twist them into a contemporary, Earthy affair that leaves guitarists in awe. His use of seemingly familiar, yet dazzling solo lines and his knack for seamlessly working jazzy chord substitutions and inversions into even the most traditional grooves is uncanny.
Ford's disc, Blue Moon, his first for new label Concord Jazz, successfully continues his main mission: to update and expand the boundaries of his first love, the blues. The disc stands up admirably to Robben's classic work with his Blue Line trio on recordings such as Robben Ford & the Blue Line, Handful of Blues, or Mystic Mile.
Ardent guitar-playing Robben Ford fans have probably already worn out their copies of his excellent instructional videos and book/CD packages, Playin' the Blues, The Blues and Beyond, and Back to the Blues (parts 1 and 2). Robben lays it all out there: his favorite scales, modes, phrases, soloing techniques, comping ideas, chord inversions and more. If you haven't already, you must pick up at least one or two of these essential instructional aids.
Guitar.com recently spent time with Robben to dig into his guitar-playing and songwriting psyche. Read on to see what he has to say about contemporizing classic styles, writing without distraction, and making it up in the studio.
Guitar.com: Hello Robben. How are things in Ojai, California?
Robben Ford: Actually there's a fire burning on the other side of the mountain, so it's kind of a drag for the whole area. There's no danger to us, but there's a yellow cloud hanging over the whole area and ash falling all over everything. It's pretty bad. It's unfortunate, but at least nobody's getting hurt.
Guitar.com: Is the fire moving the other direction?
Ford: That I don't know. It's been going for three days so it's hard to tell.
Guitar.com: The new album, Blue Moon, is really good, there's some great stuff on here.
Ford: Thank you.
Guitar.com: I notice that you recorded in a variety of studios. Were any of these tracks recorded even partially at home?
Ford: No.
Guitar.com: It sounds like you might have brought some new equipment into the house and really experimented with different moods and attitudes, even more so than on a lot of your previous releases.
Ford: There are two songs on the record that were cut in a Pro Tools studio, a professional studio. I don't have a home studio. I have a music room that I work in, but I don't really record at home. It seems to me like a distraction from writing music.
But those two songs were cut to a drum loop, there wasn't a band playing in a room. And then overdubs were done later. There's a studio listed on the album called Bay 7 and that's where I did all my vocal overdubs and loud guitar overdubs. And then the things that were like rhythm parts that were not loud or theres one song where I actually used the Pod I used that for the riffing guitar on a song called Sometime Love. There's a real fuzzy guitar that just plays riffs. That's the only thing that I used the Pod for.
Guitar.com: The tracks that you used Pro Tools on were Don't Deny Your Love and Good to Love?
Ford: Don't Deny Your Love and Sometime Love. Good to Love was cut at Sunset Sound with just bass, drums, and guitar. Jimmy Earl, who is credited with production on that song, he did all the programming and put that on later. He took the tracks home and did the programming at home.
Guitar.com: That's got a really cool feel to it.
Ford: Yeah, I really have to give Jimmy credit for that. He did a great job with coming up with something unusual.
Guitar.com: It sounds like a movie soundtrack. Is that what you were aiming for?
Ford: That's what he was aiming for, I guess. I was really surprised when I heard it, because I would not personally have gone that direction with it. But, that's why I gave it to him and said, "Do whatever you want." And it's just great. I was very pleased.
Guitar.com: When you say that you have a music room at home, but that you find recording distracting from songwriting, how do you go about capturing the songwriting that you're working on?
Ford: I sit with a guitar and paper and pen. Or I sit at the piano and do the same there.
Guitar.com: And you write everything out in sheet music?
Ford: No, the paper and pen is for lyrics.
Guitar.com: Then do you have at least a cassette recorder that you're playing into?
Ford: Sometimes I'll put ideas down on a little DAT machine, with just one stereo mic, just in case I need to remember it. It's only to help me remember the idea and not let it slide. I used to write things on paper I used to write charts. I'll still sketch things on paper a bass line, or some real basic things on paper. But I've just found that, particularly when going into the studio, if you just show the song to the guys rather than give them paper to read, they learn it much faster and they play it much more spontaneously the real way. If you're looking at paper while you're recording, it's just a little restrictive. You wind up doing things that maybe are correct, but are relatively uninspired.
Guitar.com: When you start working on a song, when you're writing something, do you carry ideas through right from the first spark of an idea to a finished song?
Ford: You mean without going on to something else? No. I'll work on something until I feel bogged down, and then move on to something else and work on that. Not necessarily back to back. I like a lot of space when I write. I really give myself a lot of room. I might work on something for 40 minutes, then I'll go make myself a cup of coffee, maybe take a walk. And the idea will kind of go through my head, and I'll come back, sit down, and concentrate on it again. Or I'll write in different rooms in the house, or go somewhere and write. So I really try to give myself a lot of room. To just hammer it out is not my style. And to just hammer it out on one thing until its done is not my style.
Guitar.com: I find that when I'm coming up with ideas, and if I pick one and start to work on it, sometimes I start to twist the original rhythmic idea that I had and sometimes in a way that I don't like. And if I haven't recorded it right from the start, I may lose the cool original idea I had. You must have a better memory than me if you can just remember all your good ideas without recording them (laughs).
Ford: Things stick pretty well with me. A lot of my best ideas come to me when I'm driving. And, generally, even if I forget the idea, all I have to do is remember the space that I was in, think about it, and eventually the idea will turn back up. I never worry too much about forgetting any ideas that come up.
Guitar.com: So you probably have a real simple set up in your music room. What are some of the basic tools you have?
Ford: I've got a [Fender] Deluxe, and I've got some nice guitars, and just a stereo system for listening and occasionally recording something to ADAT. I used to actually record all my ideas to ADAT, just so that I could hear them back, more than anything else. But I really just moved away from it. I like to just get the idea going in a very organic way me with the instrument. Certainly I always put lyric ideas on paper. I like to take them to the group and play them and see what they have to offer.
Guitar.com: You recorded with different people on different tracks, and you had Roscoe Beck and Tom Brechtlein (Editors Note: former bandmates in Robbens' Blue line trio) on a few tracks.
Ford: I had some things on which I wanted to have the best blues rhythm section that I could get. I wanted to cut some songs as close to the traditional way as possible. In other words, play with people who really know how to play the blues. And Roscoe and Tom are just absolutely the best, at being versatile, and yet at the same time able to play things in a real authentic way. I don't know anyone else who can do that. There probably are a couple, but they don't live near me. Tom can just give you what you need to play the blues in an authentic way. And Roscoe, just absolutely hands down, again, for a combination of authenticity and versatility. They just don't play it simple and right, they can play it simple and add interesting, complicated things that don't take away from the real flavor.
Guitar.com: How did you come up with all of the other guests that you had on the record? You had Frank Zappa alumni Vinnie Colaiuta behind the kit on quite a few tracks.
Ford: Yeah, Vinnie and Jimmy Earl the bassist did my last album (Editor's Note: Supernatural, 1999, Blue Thumb Records), the whole thing. He plays with my group, generally, when I go on the road. He's always kind of my first choice for a bassist. He's just a great musician and a great guy to play with.
And Vinnie, in the studio he's just so reliable. You just know that you're going to get something you're going to like with him. And it's a matter of if you want that, the way he feels. His feel to me is very particular, very precise. And then he always comes up with a nice idea. He'll play something that really fits the song that you're recording. And not a lot of guys can do that. Most people aren't as broad as Vinnie is, in terms of being able to record and give you something thats special. Simple, but special.
Guitar.com: So when you're out on the road this year, who goes with you?
Ford: There will be a little bit of a revolving door. I'm not happy about that, but all the guys that I work with, they all work with other people too, cause they're in demand. It will change, but Tom Brechtlein will be there most of the time. He's the one guy I can kind of count on here. And Roscoe Beck is going to do some dates with me. Bill Boublitz, a keyboard player that we worked with in the Blue Line for many years is going to come out and play. And Jimmy will play a little bit. And a bassist named Tim Scott from Jack Mack & the Heart Attack. He's a real good blues and R&B player.
Guitar.com: How did you pull together all the horn players and vocalists and keyboard players you had on the record?
Ford: Well, the horns, Lee Thornburg and David Woodford, played on my last record as well. Lee is somebody I really connected with a few years ago and I really enjoy him on all levels. So I always call him. Same thing with Dave Woodford. They're guys that I just enjoy working with. They did my last record, and when I had some horn parts I called them again. And Russell Ferrante plays piano on, I think, only one song
Guitar.com: I think on a couple, It Dont Make Sense, and--
Ford: Oh yeah, and on My Everything. He's just the best at sitting in and giving you something harmonically interesting. His harmony is expansive and yet it doesn't take away from the soul of the music. And Neil Larsen I reconnected with after playing with him a little bit in the 80s on a tour we did in South America. We had a great time, so I invited Neil to come in and play B-3.

Mold strategy
1 Attachment(s)
I'm attaching below a photo of a joist cavity with mold, this cavity is in the floor under my kid's bedroom and it is also the ceiling above the bathroom below. The bathroom has an exhaust fan in the exterior wall and it works and is not obstructed. I've fogged Concrobium into the joist cavity.
So I'm looking for suggestions as to what the sources of moisture I need to deal with could be, if any, before I do air sealing on this joist cavity (or will that help?)
Wow! If it were me, I would try to find/eliminate the source of moisture, but the ceiling in the bathroom would have to come down, and possibly a complete gut of the bathroom. You more than likely have a lot more mold/fungus growth than that in adjacent joist bays and possibly in your bathroom wall cavities if you have that much of a moisture problem in that bathroom. Hopefully someone with more mold removal experience will chime in, but from my experience with tearing out improperly built bathrooms/showers/tubs the only way to remediate is to tear it out, clean it up, and rebuild it properly.
I think I'd move the kids to another bedroom in the meantime. I've never used Concrobium before, is that a picture prior to using the concrobium, or after?
You have got a serious mold issue there. First you need some moisture testing to help pinpoint the source. Mold needs 60% or greater humidity to thrive. Finding the source of that much water should not be difficult. Next you need to probably tear out the ceiling. Any drywall ceiling that has been exposed to that degree needs to be gotten out. Fogging has not been proven to be particularly successful in killing mold in porous materials such as you have. In addition, even if you've killed it, you need to remove it. Even dead mold carcasses can be allergens. Scrub it down with a good cleaner. That means scrub brush, wipe down, HEPA vac it, and get it dry. Then apply a fungicide. After that dries, apply a sealer. Install a new ceiling. First and foremost, you need to control the moisture. Otherwise, it will all be back again. I would not be surprised to find the same conditions in the wall cavities as well. And remember, bathroom exhaust fans don't do anything until you turn them on.
As far as the source of moisture, what about someone not running the fan?
As to removal -- if it's contained within the cavity/ies, then it's contained. Is it manifesting itself on the other side of the drywall? If you can solve the moisture problem, then the mold will stop growing. It won't go away, but neither will it spread -- assuming you don't have openings that connect the interior of the cavity to your living space.
Now if you want to tear it out for peace of mind, go for it.
I wonder if the moisture source is from the bathroom only? You have a side wall vent but what if its suckage is just not good enough to get the moisture out? I would want to vent at the ceiling close to the shower/tub area to get that moisture out asap. What if the vent itself is leaky within the sidewall and it is sending moisture up to this area? If that were the case, I would say remove the drywall very carefully at the vent location and see if mold exists. If leaky, i would expect a lot of mold there.
If the mold is contained, and it is not being fed anymore, maybe no harm. If kids are sick a lot, then remediation is called for.
Other moisture getting in there: What about openings from the basement. A very damp crawlspace or basement? Any kitchen vents? I am reaching a bit but if the main source is the bathroom moisture, you have to go after that. Is it possible that outside air is getting in and condensing in warm spaces?
Really, identifying the moisture source is the kind of guidance I am looking for here. I actually plan to build a new bathroom at a different location, after which I will tear out this bathroom to build a stairway at the bathrroom location. I'm looking to see what I can do in the mean time where it can be done quickly and easily.
So I don't know the history before we purchased the house in August of last year (2010), we've been consistently using the exhaust fan during showers because it's a somewhat smaller bathroom and the mirror fogs up. I can't speak for how well this was done before.
The shower head is located very close to the ceiling, the previous owner was tall so we suspect that's why the shower head is so high. We're talking the pipe coming out of the wall at about 4-6" below the ceiling. This is on the suspect.
There are 4 adjacent ceiling joist cavities with mold. The cavity pictured is the worst cavity. The wall cavities have fiberglass batt insulation with kraft faced paper. From the portion of the floor cavity exposed in the side attic, I can see that the bathroom drywall of the ceiling seems to have a plastic sheet vapor barrier.
The roof was in very bad shape when we bought the house, I have redone the roof. I'm not sure this was related because the mold problem is focussed above this bathroom.
I do know that I need to work on roof ventilation. I installed ridge vents while working on the roof and I installed rafter baffles, but I need to increase my intake ventilation.
I don't have a basement, I have a crawlspace with a dirt floor. The driveway immediately next to the house is in very bad shape, and it slopes towards the house. Under the driveway is a collapsed sewer main. At the time the house was purchased, the sewer pipe was obstructed and when water was used in the house, the system backed up onto the crawlspace dirt out of the drainage point for the humidifier, which is mounted to the furnace which is in the crawlspace. The plumbing is clear and has been rebuilt so the humidifier operates with a condensate pump so it has a higher drainage point and is less likely to allow a backed up sewer to result in backflow into the crawlspace.
All but one floor joist under the first floor have been sistered due to rot at the rim joist. All of these rotted joists are replacements. Floor joists under the bathroom are mostly 3 boards thick except for 1 which is 4 boards thick and 2 which are single boards which are cut at the toilet and bathtub drain without proper support.
I suspect it is possible that moist air might be drawn through these cavities and out the ridge vents, and if so I might stop the flow by air sealing the joist cavities. On the other hand, my concern was that this would only impair my access to do anything about the mold.
I also suspect it might be possible that this mold has been there a long time and isn't related to any existing conditions or might be related to something I've already corrected.
You mention that the drywall ceiling has a plastic vapor barrier. In post #1, you say that the area above is the floor of your son's bedroom. If I read this right, you have a vapor barrier on an inside ceiling. That may help you to pinpoint. Is there mold only in the space above the plastic or is it also below (both sides)? Have you tested anything for moisture content? That should be a first step. Find out what materials are damp enough to support mold growth. Test several areas, both in the moldy areas and outside, so you can get a baseline. That will help greatly in pinpointing a source. As far as the existing mold, if the moisture test shows that everything is normal, then you have a dormant colony. The problem is that even dormant, it will continue to spew high levels of spores and bits of mold components into the air. Remember, these are microscopic so they'll move through the tiniest holes and cracks. That volume of mold needs to be cleaned up and eliminated. You don't want to be breathing that kind of crap. Secondly, even if dormant, it is not dead. If you happen to have another moisture episode, it will reactivate. Even if the fogging was effective on the stuff you see on the surface, I would bet that it is not 100% dead. And what is dead will break down sending fragments everywhere.
Well, again access is an issue, I don't know that I can get my arm far enough into there to reach all of this, maybe some of this, but I would definitely be working blind... When it gets to the point I tear things open for access, I intend to just go to town replacing anything and everything that is affected.
Is there anything short of replacing the joists and subfloor that would eliminate the mold?
If you open it up, your best best may be to call a pro out. It may be expensive but this is one of those times... : - (
There are sprays that can be applied but I don't know if an avg joe get that type of stuff. Maybe you can. I see no reason to remove any structure or wood at this point. It appears that all the mold is just on the surface.
There is really plenty of reason, mostly structural, and it's in the plans but before I start that level of work on the second floor I need to get the foundation then the first floor in order.
It's almost remarkable that the floor under the bathrrom doesn't have mold since it's over the area where water seeps up from the ground and the whole floor has seen numerous repairs to rotted structure, but aside from disintigration the wood under the bathroom doesn't have signs of mold. Other floor joists under the living room have some whitening, but not as extensive as these photos. These floor joists are also planned to be replaced.

I don't know what your course allows, but why not take both. Explain to the instructor that you'd like to try the Glock but have your .22 as a fall back.
This is a discussion on CCW Tomorrow within the Concealed Carry Issues & Discussions forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; Hey all... I am taking the CCW here in Ohio tomorrow morning. Question being.. I got this new Glock 23 for Christmas and haven't fired ...
Hey all... I am taking the CCW here in Ohio tomorrow morning. Question being.. I got this new Glock 23 for Christmas and haven't fired a round through it. I was planning on practicing for a few weeks before taking the class but they just called and had a cancellation so I jumped on it. I am now debating do I go ahead and take my new 23 or just take my MkII 22 and just pass the course. I use to shoot loads of 9mm and 44 mag and reloaded for both for many years but it has been about 10 years since then. Thanks for the advice and wish me well for tomorrow...butterflies a swarmin but so excited to get this class over with and apply for my permit. I got my holster and books by Ayoob, Farnham and Cooper today via UPS so ready to shoot and read and shoot some more :)

Unless there is some reason to qualify with the firearm you plan to carry, then I'd say stick with the known variable, or like OldVet said, take 'em both. The only reason I'd say don't bother with it, is you'll be shooting under 'test' circumstances. No reason to add any stress that you don't need. If it's anything like the qualifying tests I've had to do, you won't really be enjoying the shooting part anyway, and if there happens to be some sort of new gun problem, then you've just got that on your mind with no real benefit.
Good luck with your class! Good advice above, can't elaborate any, just relax and do what you've got to do.

.22 is cheaper to shoot and you still qualify, then again you only have to shoot from 21 feet
And so when man and horse go down beneath a saber keen, or in a roaring charge of fierce melee you stop a bullet clean, and the hostiles come to get your scalp, just empty your canteen, put your pistol to your head and go to Fiddlers green. U.S Army Cavalry
The range qualification isn't that tough, provided the instructors follow NRA guidelines. Three five round groups within a nine-inch circle from fifteen feet from a benchrest position and standing two-handed position are required to successfully qualify for the NRA Basic Pistol Course certificate of completion required to apply for the Ohio CHL. Such a qualification is going to be much easier with your tack-driving MkII than with a DAO .40 cal you have never fired before.
I agree with the guys saying to take both. Tonight unload your Glock, check to make sure it is unloaded, leave your ammo and walk into a different room, check to make sure your Glock is unloaded. Now point in and squeeze off a few empty chamber clicks, get familiar with your new friend. Have fun.
I took a class some years back, Introduction to Concealed Carry, which included about 45 min on the range. One guy was having so much trouble shooting a group at 21 ft the instructor asked to shoot the gun. After he had shot a nice three round group he put it back on the bench and said, 'nope it's not the gun.'
As Mike pointed out, the NRA basic course of fire isn't all that strenuous, I'd take both, but shoot the .22. Depending on your class size and instructor, there very well may be time for you to shoot both (2 hours range time is what it should be). I am sure that you will do fine. Just remember to train after your course, on a regular basis.
Also, remember that in Ohio you can apply in the county you live in, or any adjacent county. See if your instructor has any info on wait times for the surrounding counties, or how much of a hassle it is to apply in them, in order to expedite the process.

I would probably just take the .22 and make it simple. My instructor didn't even allow us to bring our own weapons. We just used the provided .22s. Remember, you'll like be there with many other people, some of whom may not have even fired a gun before. You'll have plenty to think about without trying out the new gun. I'm sure you'd do fine with the Glock, but you can try it out any other day when your aren't on the clock and surrounded by newbies who just learned how shoot.
Thanks for all the advice... I will take both and just see how it works out...Really want to shoot my Glock but very familiar with the Ruger. Of course it is almost cheating using the 22 but a lot of courses I looked into that is what they use. I will update tomorrow night after I get back home
Wow it's hard to give any advice since you have gotten great advice allready. I too would take both but use the .22 to qualify and maybe just maybe once you qualify your instructor will let you squeeze a few rnds of .40 off. Good luck.

text: BOSTON, Feb. 4, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- John Hancock Financial Opportunities Fund, formerly known as John Hancock Bank and Thrift Opportunity Fund (NYSE: BTO) (the "Fund"), a John Hancock Closed-End Fund, announced today that it entered into a credit facility ("Credit Facility") with Bank of America, N.A., a subsidiary of Bank of America Corporation. This comes after a special meeting of shareholders held on January 18, 2013, at which shareholders approved an amendment to the Fund's fundamental investment restriction to permit the Fund to engage in leverage by borrowing. Under the Credit Facility, the Fund will have the ability to borrow up to $110 million from Bank of America, N.A. The Credit Facility will provide the Fund with flexibility to use the proceeds of borrowed money to take advantage of market opportunities by investing in additional portfolio securities. The Fund's utilization of the Credit Facility is expected to be implemented over time. Additional information regarding the Credit Facility, as well as the Fund's use of borrowings, will be disclosed in the Fund's next semi-annual shareholder report for the six months ending April 30, 2013. Bank of America Corporation, through its subsidiaries, provides various banking and financial products and services to individual consumers, small-and middle-market businesses, institutional investors, corporations, and governments in the United States and internationally. In addition to the implementation of leverage, over the past six months the Board of Trustees has implemented other important initiatives designed to enhance shareholder value, including a 30% increase in the annualized distribution rate from 5.0% of the Fund's net asset value to 6.5% of the Fund's net asset value under the Fund's managed distribution plan (the "Plan") and amending the Fund's 80% investment policy to provide the investment team with greater flexibility to take advantage of market opportunities by investing in a broader range of financial services companies.

It was an offensive weekend across the games with Harvard and Yale opening their Ivy schedules with wins. Here is a quick wrap-up of the Week 2 games:
Friday, September 23
Harvard 24, Brown 7
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. -- Harvard forced five turnovers, including two inside its own 2-yard line, en route to a 24-7 win against Brown in the Crimson's home and Ivy League opener in front of 18,565 rain-soaked fans Friday night at Harvard Stadium.
Saturday, September 24
Yale 37, Cornell 17 [VERSUS]
NEW HAVEN, Conn. -- Yale and Cornell combined for 520 yards passing in the Ivy League opener at the Yale Bowl, Class of 1954 Field Saturday afternoon, but in the end it was a run -- a 58-yarder for a touchdown by senior tailback Alex Thomas -- that finally put the game out of reach in Yale's favor.
Albany 44, Columbia 21
NEW YORK -- Leading 24-14, Albany scored 20 unanswered points and defeated Columbia 44-21 in its home opener on a humid day at Robert K. Kraft Field.
Sacred Heart 24, Dartmouth 21
FAIRFIELD, Conn. -- Sacred Heart booted a 22-yard field goal with one minute to play, then blocked a 53-yard attempt as time expired to pull out 24-21 homecoming victory for the host Pioneers (1-2) at Campus Field on Saturday afternoon.
Bucknell 34, Princeton 9
PRINCETON, N.J. -- Princeton spent much of its final tune-up before the 2011 Ivy League opener shooting itself in the foot, and the result was a disappointing 34-9 home loss to Bucknell Saturday night on Powers Field at Princeton Stadium.
Villanova 30, Penn 21 (Franklin Field)
PHILADELPHIA -- Penn had a chance to come back and defeat Villanova, down two with less than a minute on the clock. However, a Billy Ragone pass was picked off by a Wildcat player, and he ran it back 26 yards for the score to clinch Villanova's 30-21 win Saturday night at Franklin Field.

"Miss Day was frightened by the cats last night," said Dorcas.

Dorcas and Amarillis were then going to fall at the feet of their generous benefactor, but he would by no means permit it.
Dorcas put her foot on the step and seated herself beside him.
Dorcas, who had hoped to see the child, held once more to her heart the living mother.
Dorcas hardly missed him, for she, too, had new ways to walk.
Dorcas says, she was visible to her but once before the whole day; and then she seemed very solemn and sedate.

our hot water tap in the shower has all of a sudden gotten very tight..its hard to turn off and on. I was wondering if anyone would know what is causing this?
our hot water tap in the shower has all of a sudden gotten very tight..its hard to turn off and on. I was wondering if anyone would know what is causing this?
A lot depends on the type water shut off. If this is an older shut off I would replace it. Often times corrosion or damage such as being bent will cause it to get hard to turn on and off. If all is well there is a faucet lubricant that sometimes will solve the problem of tightness. Problem is hot water will often wash or melt away the lubricant grease in the shut off.
Hope this helps
Do you have a brand name and what type of faucet?
the name of the faucet has worn off , it was new only a year and a half ago.
Shut water off and take stem out of hot side. Check for wear on the seat of this faucet, replace stem washer.
Use plumber's grease on all moving parts inside this stem, around the packing nut threads and face of packing.
Also the spline end of stem and the threads where the handle and screw go. Follow the idea of wheel bearings in a car; they have to have grease to move freely.
If calcium is greatly present on stem, before greasing, take stem completely apart and remove washer, packing and dip stem in muratic acid. Be careful with this product; it will completely clean stem of all calcium and do not leave in acid for too long. Wash off with hot water and dry off before greasing.
This will allow your stem to move freely with the minimal amount of friction.

A Nation of Parasites and Leeches
Some think Mitt Romney's secretly recorded statement about 47% of Americans who don't pay income tax and --quote-- "will vote for this president no matter what" was a negative turning point for him in the Presidential campaign. But new stats seem to validate Romney's statement.
The Tax Policy Center says the number that doesn't pay income taxes is now 43% and political insider Chris Begala says he's disgusted by this nation's amount of takers. He says you can quibble over whether it's 47 or 43%.
"We are upside down. We have many more takers than we do makers in this country. We do know we have 315-million people in this country and we have just over 100-million actually working full-time."
Begala says this excessive welfare state is not why we revolted against the English Crown.
"Bully for them if they think that's an existence. I think that's despicable; it is not what this country is made of. The great people that made this country a few hundred years ago and the great folks that pulled us through the Depression and World War II are spinning in their graves. It's a disgrace."

Chad Hummel '88 Inducted as Fellow of the American College of Trial Lawyers
From Manatt, Phelps & Phillips, LLP's website:
Chad S. Hummel [JD '88], chair of Manatt, Phelps & Phillips, LLP's national Litigation Division, has become a Fellow of the American College of Trial Lawyers, one of the premier legal associations in America.
The induction ceremony at which Mr. Hummel became a Fellow took place recently before an audience of approximately 614 persons during the recent 2012 Spring Meeting of the College in Scottsdale, Arizona.
Founded in 1950, the College is composed of the best of the trial bar from the United States and Canada. Fellowship in the College is extended by invitation only, and only after careful investigation, to those experienced trial lawyers who have mastered the art of advocacy and whose professional careers have been marked by the highest standards of ethical conduct, professionalism, civility and collegiality. Lawyers must have a minimum of 15 years trial experience before they can be considered for Fellowship.
Membership in the College cannot exceed one percent of the total lawyer population of any state or province. There are currently approximately 5,838 members in the United States and Canada, including active Fellows, Emeritus Fellows, Judicial Fellows (those who ascended to the bench after their induction) and Honorary Fellows. The College strives to improve and elevate the standards of trial practice, the administration of justice and the ethics of the trial profession. Qualified lawyers are called to Fellowship in the College from all branches of trial practice. They are carefully selected from among lawyers who customarily represent plaintiffs in civil cases and lawyers who customarily represent defendants, lawyers who prosecute accused of crime and lawyers who defend them. The College is thus able to speak with a balanced voice on important issues affecting the legal profession and the administration of justice.
For over 20 years, Mr. Hummel has represented clients in complex and high-profile civil and criminal matters. He is a frequent author and lecturer on cutting-edge legal issues and is a Lecturer in Law at USC's Gould School of Law teaching advanced pretrial advocacy skills. Hummel earned his A.B., magna cum laude, from Harvard University, and his J.D. from the University of Chicago Law School.

About the Movie
Ed Helms (The Hangover 1 & 2) and John C. Reilly (Step Brothers) lead an all-star cast in the comedy that shows what can happen...when insurance agents go wild! Shy and naive Tim Lippe (Helms) ventures to the "big city" of Cedar Rapids for a convention and ends up crossing paths with the ultimate party animal (Reilly). Before long, Tim is crashing parties, skinny-dipping in the hotel pool and being seduced by a sexy soccer mom. And if Tim can survive the weekend, he might just change his life forever!

Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: These folk are undistinguished yet distinctive, and the film, for all the familiar grind of its plotting, pays them their honest due.
Fresh: I imagine the director, Miguel Arteta, is the reason the movie succeeds as well as it does. He mutes the obnoxiousness and concentrates on the performances, nearly all of which are excellent and marked by a sense of real camaraderie.
Fresh: Helms delivers a performance of touching delicacy, one almost as remarkable as that of Tom Hanks in Big.
Fresh: Considering it has to do with infidelity, bribery, drugs, drinking, loutish behavior, fraud and prostitution, Cedar Rapids is really kind of a sweet movie.
Customer Reviews
Funniest Movie Ed Helms has ever been in.
Helms never has had a lead role in a film and this just shows he is full of creative talents. This should be as popular as The Hangover.
Entertaining but not lol funny
This was a nice fun film, but it never had me busting up laughing. Would I recommend it, certainly. There were some funny scenes and the whole movie was enjoyable. The character were well developed and the plot held strong through to the final scene. A bit tragedy, a bit comedy, a bit coming of age, a bit romantic this film was loaded with it all.
time turner anyone?
that's two hours of my life i'll never get back.

Manchester City forward Carlos Tevez has revealed that he nearly retired from football last season in the midst of his Manchester City and Argentina crisis.
The controversial forward dropped the bombshell on Argentine radio show Rock and Closs, revealing: "Last year I seriously thought about giving up football because of everything that happened with the national team and Mancini."
Tevez went on to describe his rollercoaster relationship with Roberto Mancini as "cordial".
Discussing the row that so nearly ended his career at the club, the striker was keen to express how much he had changed in the last year.
He said: "I am hot-blooded, I don't like to be substituted or be on the bench."
"Before when they took me off or I didn't play I would insult them, [but] now I am much calmer.
"I lack that hunger for goals; now I am thinking of supporting the move or providing the assist."
With that in mind, the 28 year-old is looking to get his international career back on track, adding to his 62 caps for the first time since his missed penalty saw Argentina eliminated from the Copa America in 2011, saying: "I am good enough for the national team because I've recovered the desire to play football, because I'm well mentally."
When asked about the events that saw him take a period of leave without absence from Manchester City, Tevez insists that he was not being forced out by the Blues, but felt he didn't get enough support from the club.
He said: "Nobody kicked me out of City, they sent me to play in the reserves and I didn't want to, so I found myself on my own."
Roberto Mancini famously declared that the striker was "finished" at the club and Tevez was accused of not caring about the club that paid him such astronomical wages. The striker was quick to refute any such claims:
"I DO play for the shirt, people here at City lied," he said.
Tevez finished by speaking about his future, and when he would return to Argentina.
"It is my desire to return to Boca, but it's very difficult.
"I'm dying to wear the shirt of Boca again, but with the contract that I have here it's very difficult for me to leave.
"It is what I want... I would rather play Boca - River [Argentina's biggest rivalry] than against Fulham tomorrow."
