Movie Review
If only Nancy Reagan's "Just Say No" anti-drug message had still been in vogue when Jason Collins was a kid.
If it had been, perhaps Jason—now a college-bound teen— would've told his best bud no when the guy asked if it'd be OK to ship a huge box of Ecstasy to Jason's house. And when the delivery guy rang the doorbell and asked if he had the right address to drop off said box, Jason could've said no then, too.
But it wasn't. And he didn't.
The result? Before Jason even has a chance to sample the delivery himself, folks from the Drug Enforcement Agency bash through the door, chase him through the streets and toss him in the clink.
Now, instead of college the teen's staring at a 10-year prison term. A little harsh for a first-time offender? Perhaps. But the mandatory drug laws on the books leave little latitude. Sure, Jason could get his sentence reduced if he snitched on a drug dealer. Or he could even set up one of his not-so-innocent friends—just like his "best bud" did to him. But he doesn't know any drug dealers, and he's not about to callously ruin someone else's life. And that frustrates his worried pops, John Matthews, to no end. Oh, now the kid says no? He probably sighs.
John sees just one remaining possibility to lessen or eliminate his son's woefully long sentence: "What if I helped you make arrests?" he asks ambitious U.S. Attorney Joanne Keeghan.
Joanne, with one eye focused on imprisoning thugs and the other honed on her political ambitions, tells John that yes—if he brings in someone worth arresting, she'll reduce Jason's sentence.
Of course, tracking down and ensnaring high-level players in the drug trade isn't exactly safe. John understand this. But is he truly aware of the risks he's bringing not just on himself, but his whole family and everybody he corrals to help him?
Positive Elements
Most parents say they'd do anything to help their kids. John puts feet to that promise.
The well-respected businessman dives into the shady world of corner gangs and drug cartels to save his child from prison. It's not that he believes his son is innocent, exactly. By allowing the delivery, Jason was both breaking the law and being pretty stupid. But John doesn't believe this one mistake should ruin his boy's entire life.
John's also impressed with Jason's refusal to set someone up to save his own skin. And Jason makes this principled stand in the midst of being regularly beaten by other inmates. "It looks like you're the one teaching me about what real character and integrity is about," John tells him.
Indeed, while Jason doesn't want to get anyone else in needless trouble, John's not so restrained. In his quest to save his son, John ropes in/pays off other folks to get him "in" to the drug underworld, including a former narcotics trafficker named Daniel. Now Daniel's a guy who's really trying to walk the straight and narrow for once in his life. But he succumbs to John's offer of money and helps him make underworld connections—without any knowledge of John's true purposes. Within the context of this story, though, it's through John's shortsighted use of the man that we see all Daniel himself is doing to rectify his past mistakes and become the upstanding husband and father his family deserves.
Daniel steers his son away from penny ante thugs ("Those punks out there, you're better than that," he says) and tells those self-same thugs to never, ever bother his son. While it's unfortunate that he heeds John's call, his reasons for doing so are laudable: John's money could help Daniel move his family from his drug-riddled neighborhood.
Back in Jason's world, it's implied that some of the teen's problems stem from his parents' divorce—an acknowledgement that many kids suffer greatly when Mom and Dad split up.
Spiritual Content
A drug dealer appears to play with a rosary in several scenes. Joanne glad-hands would-be voters as they leave a church.
Sexual Content
Daniel's seen in a bathroom shirtless, flexing muscles and showing off tattoos. His wife comes in and the two begin kissing sensually.
When Joanne's told by a staffer that she's not very popular with liberal voters, Joanne quips, "Maybe I should go to a gay wedding."
Violent Content
The drug trade is not known for its passivity, and audiences quickly see what risks John is taking to rescue his son. He cruises some rough streets looking to "buy" some cocaine. And when he finds a dealer on a street corner, he's quickly yanked out of his car and beaten severely. (Blood flows from his nose and mouth.) Later, he and Daniel find themselves in the middle of a massive shoot-out in a junkyard. Bullets fly from a bevy of fearsome guns, and John and Daniel barely escape—running their big-rig semi through gates and into (over) cars to get out. (Someone's in one of those cars. He's not killed, but we do see blood dripping from his face.) We see casualties from the gunfight piled in a communal grave while dirt is being pushed over the top of them.
Someone performs a one-man assault on a drug house—an attack that leaves three people dead of gunshot wounds. The house is dark, but we still see shirts stained and soaked with blood. Another soul is choked into submission, left either unconscious or dead.
There's a huge gunfight/car chase toward the end of the movie. People get shot (blood sprays) and cars careen off the highway to either flip like crazy, get crashed into by dump trucks or explode when they hit guardrails. The presumed fatality count is high. A semi crashes spectacularly.
Jason, every time he's visited in prison by his father, sports fresh bruises, cuts and stitches. At one point, officials turn Mom and Dad away because their boy's just been assaulted—an attack that requires three-dozen stitches.
Daniel roughs up a couple of men and threatens the life of one. His wife gets a bit physical with him when she believes Daniel's getting back into the drug trade. John's wife and children are threatened.
Crude or Profane Language
A dozen s-words. A peppering of "a‑‑," "b‑‑ch," "h‑‑‑," "p‑‑‑y" and the n-word. God's name is abused 10 or more times, half with "d‑‑n." Jesus' name is abused once.
Drug and Alcohol Content
Snitch is predicated on the illegal drug trade, and naturally we see and hear quite a lot about it. John and Daniel hide cocaine in bags of cement, and John is forced to snort some of the stuff. Jason opens that original delivery package and, as expected, finds thousands of Ecstasy pills in a bag. He tells his drug-dealing friend that he and his girlfriend have wanted to try the stuff. Sylvie says she once smelled marijuana on Jason. And when pressed to tell where he got it, the teen admits that he took some from his girlfriend's father, who grows the stuff for "medicinal" purposes.
Sylvie smokes cigarettes. "Didn't you quit?" John asks. Others also smoke tobacco and/or, possibly, other substances. John drinks hard liquor.
Other Negative Elements
At first, John keeps his activities under wraps from everyone but the authorities. When his second wife presses him, John tells her everything. But Daniel he keeps in the dark longer—fessing up only when the man's life is in danger.
John tells Daniel he's going to "take a leak." Speaking of which, a security guard leaks some critical information to the drug cartel.
Dwayne Johnson has transitioned from bulky professional wrestler to likable actor, becoming—perhaps surprisingly—a pretty bankable family-movie star. He's donned wings for Tooth Fairy, battled dinosaurs in Journey 2: The Mysterious Island and even raced to Witch Mountain in … Race to Witch Mountain. Most of his PG-13 movies—Get Smart, Fast Five and G.I. Joe: Retaliation, to name just a few—have serious teen appeal.
So it makes me wonder whether Snitch was edited just enough to convince fans that it's still in line with all that.
But while Johnson is a dad desperately trying to help his boy—and that is a family kind of message—Snitch doesn't feel like one of Johnson's typical CGI-laden family-fantasy flicks. He doesn't wrestle monsters or manfully jump across canyons, ankle biters dutifully in tow. He's not even given a chance to be deadpan funny. No, this is a very serious, very drug-based thriller that's not very fun. It's meant, on some level, to preach a little: These mandatory drug laws are too tough, we're told. They're meant for high-level traffickers, but they're ensnaring poor, dumb kids like Jason. You're going to have to come to your own conclusions about whether that's a good or bad message in this case. My contribution here is to let you know that preachy movies are not always good movies—no matter how many car chases and shoot-outs the makers try to use to augment the cinematic sermon.
And that all the profanity and gritty violence and drug content may shock unwary parents—not to mention the kids they've brought along to see what their favorite Tooth Fairy's been up to lately.

Hi from NE
I came across this forum when I was doing a Google search for a possible project at my new home, and thought I should join. I have done many projects, roofing, egress windows, bathrooms, hard wood flooring, etc... I hope I can learn a lot, and help others out as well.
Welcome, Michael.
You'll find this site invaluable in all phases of your projects. There's a great group of guys here willing to help you out if you ask.
Proofer (born in Lincoln, and was raised in Crete)
Greetings and Welcome to the site.
Thanks for the warm welcome. My next project will be remodeling the bathroom in our new house and adding a shower, and putting the washer and dryer in there as well. It is big enough, and I don't like having the washer and dryer in the basement. This basement has some moisture issue, that I will address later.

I endorse Barack Obama for a second term as US president, and therefore the most powerful man in the Western World.
My reason is that he has played this role very well, in my opinion. He has mostly used diplomacy and avoided the 'might is right' attitude of his predecessor George Bush. He has also shown the way forward on social matters, making progress on universal health care and LGBT inclusion.
It would be a shame for the US, and indeed the world, for him to be replaced by Romney, in my opinion.

Chevrolet SSR Models and SSR History
The SSR was an experiment mixing the retro styling, V-8 sports car performance and custom truck attributes into a single vehicle. Introduced during the second half of 2003, the radical Chevrolet SSR was created to capitalize on the crossover vehicle movement with an incomparable product. Built on the same platform as the Chevrolet Trailblazer and GMC Envoy, the 2003 SSR featured 1930s inspired styling cues such as flared fenders. The Chevrolet SSR was also a convertible thanks to a retractable hardtop that could be deployed in 25 seconds. At the rear, a 23.7 cubic-foot capacity truck bed provides a resourceful method for transporting cargo typically not possible with a sports car. Early versions of the SSR were propelled through a 5.3-liter V-8 small-block engine generating 300 horsepower and 331 pound-feet of torque. A four-speed automatic transmission with overdrive furnished power to the rear wheels of the Chevrolet vehicle. Configured with a two-seat cabin, the 2003 SSR interior featured hidden audio controls and billet aluminum used on the door trim. For 2005, responding from calls from performance enthusiasts, the SSR received a more potent powerplant borrowed from the Chevrolet Corvette. A 6.0-liter LS2 V-8 engine found in the 2005 SSR provided extended muscle with 390 horsepower and 405 pound-feet of torque. The 2005 Chevrolet SSR's engine power could be channeled through either the automatic gearbox or an optional six-speed manual transmission. In addition to a powertrain change, the 2005 Chevrolet SSR received extensive improvements including a retuned steering system and a new exhaust system. For its final year of production in 2006, the Chevrolet SSR received a mild power boost with up to 400 horsepower available from the V-8 engine. After a mixed reception, the Chevrolet discontinued what could be their most extreme production car after the 2006 model year

|Home > National News > Issues > Bali Terror > Article
Senior clergy are often required to walk the way of the cross.
So it was yesterday for Melbourne's Catholic Archbishop Denis Hart, who told about 250 people at St Patrick's Cathedral that the challenge after the Bali massacre was to find forgiveness.
But reality being what it is, Archbishop Hart used strong language to describe the Bali atrocity.
He told the special lunchtime Mass that we were now "face-to-face with evil", and that those responsible for last weekend's murders were "human hearts bent on revenge and hatred".
Yesterday was the feast day of St Luke, and a reading from the third gospel told of Jesus sending his apostles out "as lambs among wolves".
It was not much of a stretch to picture the innocent young people at the Sari Club and Paddy's Bar last Saturday night as modern-day equivalents.
Archbishop Hart said Australians had been exposed to the "awful reality of the fragility of human existence" and that the bombers had "afflicted a great wound on us, and on the world".
But ultimately, he argued, it would be right to look to the example of Jesus Christ.
"He was barbarically murdered on the cross, but he said, 'Father, forgive them, they know not what they do'."
During the service, the sound of a siren pierced the stone walls of the grand building and was discernible above the flurry of organ notes, a reminder that human drama lives right next door to sanctuary.

Detroit • An art gallery plans to sell a work that the elusive British graffiti artist Banksy created at an abandoned Detroit auto plant, a gallery official said Monday.
Carl Goines, who co-founded the 555 Nonprofit Gallery and Studios, told The Associated Press that proceeds from the sale will go to expand the Detroit gallery's programming. The sale first was reported by the Motor City Muckraker news website.
Goines said he is hoping the Banksy work will bring in between $200,000 and $1.2 million, which he said is the range of recent sales.
An 8-foot, 1,500-pound section of cinderblock wall featuring the stenciled artwork was removed from the Packard Plant site in 2010. It features a figure of a child holding a bucket of red paint and brush alongside the message: "I remember when all this was trees."

Discussion in 'Off The Beaten Track' started by Garden Kitty, May 10, 2010.
I'm PML imagining Evan in Mak's white pants and lavender shirt.
Oh geeez, and then Len goes and says he liked the start up on the stage, lol.
But I agree with him that Erin's movements did seem a little "jerky" at times.
Love Erin's humor.
scores after second dance:
Erin 8 8 9 = 25 + 28 = 53
Chad 8 8 8 = 24 + 21 = 45
Niecy 7 6 7 = 20 + 23 = 43
[Nicole 10 9 10 = 29
Evan 9 9 9 = 27]
Thanks for doing the scores.
Not going to happen with Vera Wang in the audience.
"Maybe my hips will be better in the future." hee
I'm looking forward to this!
WOW.. just looking at all the different backdrops for Evan's training made me tired! They really are moving around. No "one studio" for him!
But I think this Cha Cha is going to score low...
Much better than the first dance, fun futuristic cha cha for Evan.
I liked that, even tho it was a little strange.
Well, looks like Vera got to use the leftover mesh from Evan's LP.
Ha, that was so interesting and entertaining.
Could've done with some more Cha Cha action, but it was awesome anyway.
Anna's look reminds me of Mila Jovovich in Fifth Element.
LOL--that was fun!
It did really suit him, and it was sure entertaining. I guess I've seen better cha-chas but it made me put down my book.
scores after second dance:
Evan 9 8 9 = 26 + 27 = 53
Erin 8 8 9 = 25 + 28 = 53
Chad 8 8 8 = 24 + 21 = 45
Niecy 7 6 7 = 20 + 23 = 43
[Nicole 10 9 10 = 29]
Evan/Anna Bring on future cha-cha 5th element
Very fun from Evan and Anna
And again this week I have to commend Evan for his temperment in the practices. I loved in the earlier blurb when Anna said he could come across as cold. Nicole would have sobbed, but Evan just said "you're right" and tried to work on it.
ETA: According to twitter, Sarah Hughes thought Evan's cha cha was "pretty rad"
Not. Enough. Dance Center commercials. More please.
For the first time ever, and likely the last, Evan reminded me of Emanuel Sandhu during that routine.
Sigh. Derek really is a good choreographer even if he's annoying
That Paso did have a 50s feel, I really liked it.
exactly how is this a '50's paso? and they got the best music cuts. but still exactly how is it a '50's paso?
Here comes her 30.
I thought he had some 50's moves, but she didn't really. But this whole time period idea is silly anyway.
Why is her hair in a 40s hair style, and why are they doing a flamenco hoe down?
I can only hope Kenny skewers them tomorrow.
I love this look on Nicole. Suits her really well.
I have no idea. I mean, it was a better paso than we usually get on this show. (No whips or pleather.) THe guitar riff?
Why was Nicole all pissyface? I mean, yeah, I get rolling your eyes when Bruno's talking, but...
VOTE ANYONE BUT NICOLE. Let's have a shocking elimination.
Will I ever find anybody sexier than Julianne and Apolo? Probably not.
barf, barf, barf
scores after second dance:
Nicole 10 10 10 = 30 + 29 = 59
Evan 9 8 9 = 26 + 27 = 53
Erin 8 8 9 = 25 + 28 = 53
Chad 8 8 8 = 24 + 21 = 45
Niecy 7 6 7 = 20 + 23 = 43
Vote early, vote often!
Vote Evan, vote Erin!

Me and my wife were a very romantic couple. We used to begin our day with a hot coffee and sweet kiss and it used to end with a pure love making on bed. But, with increasing age and low stamina, it was becoming tough for me to cope up with this schedule. My this uninteresting attitude was troubling my partner a lot. After endless fights, we finally decided to visit a doctor. There I was diagnosed with low testosterone problem and he suggested me for the use of FB1 Test. Want to know what happened next? Read on to explore more to it..
FB1 Test Detailed Review
It is an advanced testosterone booster which really worked towards boosting my strength and stamina by increasing the production of my testosterone levels. This unique product is designed to enhance the your testosterone levels, muscle mass, stamina, energy, blood circulation and libido level. It makes you strong both physically and sexually.
Ingredients Used
I know everyone will go for natural ingredients in this case as there is always a fear that chemicals or artificial substances may damage our health somewhere. But, you can totally rely on it as it contains natural ingredients which are free from the use of any harmful substances. For details, you can refer to its label.
How Does FB1 Test Work?
It is specially designed to organize and increase your testosterone levels in such a way that they result in boosting your sexual performance as well as your muscular strength. Its natural yet effective ingredients work towards increasing your strength so that so can work hard in gym and also towards boosting your stamina so that you can perform better on bed.
How Fast Does FB1 Test Work?
I really gained superb results within few weeks of its regular use. First few weeks will only make you notice the changes it is doing to your body. However, within just 8 weeks, my sexual and physical performance reached its peak! Though, the time frame of results vary but you can get fast outcomes if you are using this without any miss and also following a healthy lifestyle.
FB1 Test Pros

Along with its use, you can also opt for some alternative solutions which can enhance your results and provide you with quick recovery. Simple methods like eating healthy, doing some regular exercises and getting a routine check up done with your doctor can really add value to your results.
Researches and Studies
It has passed through many researches and surveys with flying colors. I have gone through many of them and was shocked to see a positive and authentic remark in all of them. Thus, it is a pure and natural product with zero falseness.
After comparing it with other products, I got to know that it is benefiting me much more in terms of price, effectiveness, quick results and natural quality. I am sure, you will never get a product like this. If you are still; not convinced then note the following points:
After a study done on the people who were taking this, it was found that, results were faster by 50% as compared to those people who were using some other testosterone booster. Not only this, their levels came to normal within two weeks with FB1 Test. Yes, the supplement is too effective that you cannot ignore its importance.
Doctor's Recommendation
Well what to tell more about it..It was suggested by my doctor only! I really was not able to doubt much on its effectiveness after knowing that it is regarded as the preferred choice of many well known doctors.
Problems Reported of FB1 Test
Many people have reported issues like headache, lower back pain and low blood pressure with its use. Its first time dosage can land you in such issues but, as per its adaptability your body will stop reacting to such problems. But if any problem persists for longer than it should, stop having and consult the doctor immediately.
FB1 Test Spams
It ensures your safety and security and hence, has developed a 'Buy Now' link on its website for its direct purchase. This saves you from the risk of indulging into any spam.
Public Verdict of FB1 Test
After tasting its fruitful results, I have recommended this to my other friends also. Surprisingly, they are also availing its positive results. Believe me, its really effective and beneficial!

Fridays during the season are all about injury news. And if there's anything that might jeopardize the playing status of Calvin Johnson, Miles Austin , Adrian Peterson or Trent Richardson, that is certainly news. But in an effort to not spend four separate posts basically repeating myself -- "(Player) is probable for Sunday's game versus (opponent)" -- here is a consolidation of multiple not-so-serious injury notes.
Johnson missed practice on Wednesday because of a foot injury, but he was a full participant on Thursday and Friday.
Miles Austin turned in a full week of practice, so it looks like his hamstring problems are behind him for the moment.
Peterson's surgically repaired knee came out of last week OK, and he's practiced fully this week. He said Thursday that his knee feels 95 percent healthy.
It's a very similar story for Richardson, whose surgically repaired knee also isn't holding him back in practice this week.
Fantasy Analysis:
I have no problem writing notes about players who are listed as probable on the injury report. But if they played last week and didn't suffer an evident setback or a new injury during the game or the practice week, it gets monotonous because you know these guys are going to play; you just try not to use the same words to say it. There are a lot of players who played last week who are listed as probable this week. These guys get a post because they are whom they are -- starters in 12-team leagues.
Calvin's fine. Tough matchup, but you shouldn't care.
Austin surprised me last week, but his hamstrings are obviously feeling pretty good after that acrobatic touchdown grab he made against the Giants. He's a solid WR2 this week at Seattle.
Peterson turned in an amazing effort in Week 1. You are certainly rolling with him against the weak Colts' defense.
Richardson is probably the only guy here who isn't a absolute must-start this week. He looked slow and rusty last week, and Cleveland's offensive line did him absolutely no favors. But at least he came out of that game no worse than how he entered it. And if he got 20 touches versus the Eagles, there should be no reason why he can't get 20 touches versus the Bengals, who don't present an overly tough matchup. Richardson is still a decent RB2.

By Rick Warren
— May 21, 2014
"Dear friends, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence before God." (1 John 3:21 NIV)
You've probably noticed that your confidence ebbs and flows. It varies greatly from day to day — one day you're up, and one day you're down. What causes that?
In part, it's about what is going on inside of you. The Bible teaches, "If our hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence before God" (1 John 3:21 NIV). When we face life's hurts, habits, and hang-ups, it's important that we walk out of self-condemnation and into the faithful confidence that God forgives us.
What causes self-condemnation?
Unresolved guilt. King David wrote, "There was a time when I wouldn't admit what a sinner I was. But my dishonesty made me miserable and filled my days with frustration" (Psalms 32:3 TLB).
This reminds me of a sign I saw the other day: "A clean engine produces more power." That's true in humans, too. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the man who wrote "Sherlock Holmes," once pulled a prank on 12 prominent Englishmen. He sent them an anonymous note that said, "All is found out. Flee at once." Within 24 hours, eight of those men had left the country! Guilt destroys your confidence.
Unrealistic expectations. This is also known as perfectionism — the feeling that I must be flawless, that I must be perfect, that I must please everybody, that I always have to do more, that I'm not allowed to relax.
If you're a perfectionist, your favorite phrase is, "I should ... I must ... I ought to ... I have to …" You're always doing more.
If you're an average person, you have three things on your daily "to do" list. You get one of them done, you leave one of them unfinished, and the third one you just forget about. You go home and put your feet up at night and feel good about yourself.
If you're a perfectionist, you have 29 things on your daily "to do" list. You finish 28 of them and you go home and feel like a failure! The Bible says, "Even perfection has its limits, but [God's] commands have no limit" (Psalm 119:96 NLT).
Both guilt and perfectionism cause a lack of confidence in our lives. Tomorrow we'll look at how we can replace condemnation with confidence.
Talk About It
What is it that you need to confess to God and then let go of today?
If you are a perfectionist, in what ways has it affected your confidence?

Originally billed as Strikeforce: Champions, the final event for the California-based promotion has gone through several transformations. First, Lightweight champ Gilbert Melendez pulled out as his injury from September hadn't healed in time. The same thing happened to Luke Rockhold who was unable to defend his Middleweight belt.

I want to copy and paste every single poem and entry that everypup has written for me into my diary. They all mean so much to me. Please know I am at peace now. I love you all. Our family has read every single star and rosette that I have received.
From Hayley, my Dear Friend. I am with you now and Bandit too.
I stood by your bed last night, I came to have a peep.
I could see that you were crying. You found it hard to sleep.
I whined to you softly as you brushed away a tear,
"It's me, I haven't left you, I'm well, I'm fine, I'm here."
I was close to you at breakfast, I watched you pour the tea,
You were thinking of the many times your hands reached down to me.
I was with you at the shops today. Your arms were getting sore.
I longed to take your parcels, I wish I could do more.
I was with you at my grave today, You tend it with such care.
I want to re-assure you, that I'm not lying there.
I walked with you towards the house, as you fumbled for your key.
I gently put my paw on you, I smiled and said "It's me."
You looked so very tired, and sank into a chair.
I tried so hard to let you know, that I was standing there.
It's possible for me to be so near you everyday.
To say to you with certainty, "I never went away."
You sat there very quietly, then smiled, I think you knew...
in the stillness of that evening, I was very close to you.
The day is over... I smile and watch you yawning
and say "Good-night, God bless, I'll see you in the morning."
And when the time is right for you to cross the brief divide,
I'll rush across to greet you and we'll stand, side by side.
I have so many things to show you, there is so much for you to see.
Be patient, live your journey out... then come home to be with me.
-author unknown
From Roxanne:
God saw you getting tired
A cure was not to be,
So He put His arms around you, and whispered, "Come To Me."
With tearful eyes we watched you and saw you fade away.
Although we loved you dearly,we could not make you stay.
Many times we thought of you, many times we've cried,
If love alone could save you, you never would have died.
A golden heart stopped beating,your tender hands at rest,
God took you home to prove to us He only takes the best.
You never said I'm leaving
You never said I'm leaving,
you never said goodbye,
you were gone before I knew it,
and only god knew why.
A million times I needed you,
A million times I cried,
if love alone could save you,
you never would have died.
In life I loved you dearly,
in death I love you still,
in my heart you hold a place,
that no one could ever fill.
It broke my heart to lose you,
but you didn't go alone,
for a part of me went with you,
the day god took you home.

My Friend Bandit is now a Fur Angel. Bandit and I were both diagnosed with Canine Lymphoma at about the exact same time. I met Bandit on Dogster shortly after we were both diagnosed. We started chemo treatments right about the same time, in the beginning of September, both on the Wisconsin protocol. Bandit came into our lives at a time when we needed support the most. If it weren't for Bandit, and definitely some other pup pals on Dogster, the start of our journey against lymphoma would have been so much harder. I can honestly say that we made it through this first month of treatment so well because of the support we got from Bandit, Bandit's Mom, and our pup pals on Dogster.
Well, last Sunday Bandit got sick, and couldn't walk either. All week he didn't feel well, but we were all praying for a miracle. Last night Bandit died in his sleep. It was his time to go to the Bridge. We are so thankful that Bandit died peacefully and was with the ones that he loves the most.
Thank you Bandit for being my friend, and now you will always be my Angel. Please look down upon me while I fight this lymphoma. I must beat it for both of us. May you rest in peace, and chase lots of bunnies too!!! We will meet someday at the Bridge, and we can play pawball together, dress up in our tuxedos, and we can also go camping!
Mom and Dad will give me and our pack extra hugs and love today for you. Our sincerest condolences to your family. We are praying for you.
We Love You Bandit!
Your Friend Always,

That Android tablet deluge that I've been talking about for over a year now may finally be hitting, if the end of last week is any indication.
Let's recap. The Xoom is out, of course. We know the ASUS EEE Transformer is coming soon and that $400 price rumor is still holding. ASUS has a product page up for it, and on Sunday a long and drawn out unboxing video hit the web. You can safely skip the first 6 minutes or so:
Next up, Toshiba has a tablet coming out. On Friday Best Buy put up a product page for it. It's listed as "Coming Soon" with no price. Like the ASUS Transformer and the Motorola Xoom, this is a 10", Nvidia Tegra 2 tablet running Honeycomb.
Don't like Toshiba, ASUS or Motorola? How about Acer? This time we have a firm price: $449.99 from, once again, Best Buy, and this one you can pre-order. Again, 10", Tegra 2, Honeycomb. 16GB of storage space. It sounds like this one will be marketed as the Packard Bell Liberty Tab in Europe.
So basically we're looking at 4 Android Honeycomb tablets (for now – more are on the way) with nearly identical specs. (The Xoom that's out now has 32GB of storage but a 16GB variant is on the way.) So how will you choose? The ASUS has that laptop replacement twist where it'll dock with a keyboard, so that might be a plus (though much will depend on how much the dock & keyboard cost), otherwise it seems like it'll come down to brand loyalty and/or price.
Sounds like good news for consumers, but considering the sales figure for the Xoom so far, I wonder how many of these tablets will still be around come winter.

Sidney Cohen, Former President - Cohen's Frozen Foods
Cohen's Frozen Foods was begun by my mother, Pearl. With the help of a small loan from a neighbor, she rented a two-room shop not far from where we lived and began making knishes in the back room and selling them in the front room. We lived in a predominantly Jewish neighborhood, where making exceptionally good knishes was enough to secure fame if not fortune. Eventually, the little knish business expanded to include additional menu items and a few tables and chairs, and I joined the family business with an eye toward expansion. We eventually have seven hot dog/hamburger stores. When my father's health began to fail, we shifted our focus away from retail to the wholesale food business. The evolution of that experiment took place over a period of many years, some of which were frighteningly lean, while others were more encouraging. My family grew along with the business and eventually included by wife, Estelle, and two sons and two daughters, Ira, Neil, Lori and Cindy. My son Ira is an attorney and Judge in New Jersey. Neil, Lori, and Cindy all enjoy successful careers in the wholesale food business.
Throughout the 60's and 70's, we continued to focus on the food items we knew best while experimenting with automation, quality control, and the expansion of our core product line. By the 80's, at the height of what became Cohen's Famous Frozen Foods, annual sales topped the $5 million mark. I retired when we sold the Cohen's Frozen Food business in the late 90's. Although you can still find frozen hors d'oeuvres bearing the family name in various supermarkets, someone else now owns that brand name and no one in my family has any connection to it.

Tar Heel Rundown: August 29
Twenty years ago today, Carolina went into a hostile environment and beat a favored opponent, setting up the program's step forward into national awareness. Highlights of the 1993 win over Southern Cal:
If nothing else, go to the 1:05 mark and watch 5-foot-10, 165-pound wide receiver Marcus Wall (owner of one of the best UNC football nicknames ever, "Super Gnat") truck 6-foot-1, 210-pound USC defensive back Mike Salmon. More on this game is coming today on GoHeels.
Love the first Blake Anderson quote in this video on what he expects from the South Carolina defense: "I expect 11 guys who can fly to the football and be genuinely (ticked) off when they get there." It also includes defensive coordinator Vic Koenning's insight on the Gamecock offense.
Tonight's game captains are Bryn Renner, Jabari Price, Tim Jackson, James Hurst and Kendrick Singleton...Some relatively good-humored advice to UNC fans from the Gamecock perspective...This is what the Carolina-South Carolina football game program looked like in 1949 (it cost 35 cents)...Per the always-informative Twitter feed of equipment manager Jason Freeman, it looks like the Tar Heels will be in blue helmets and white jerseys tonight...Status of South Carolina WR Bruce Ellington will be determined during pregame warmups and Gamecock receivers would be young without him...If you're going to the game, here's a handy guide to game day in Columbia...A tidbit from Lee Pace's excellent history of the Carolina-South Carolina series--the Tar Heels once wore orange jerseys against the Gamecocks...One of seven CBS football writers likes the Tar Heels tonight...Forecast for 6 p.m. in Columbia: 91 degrees, feels like 99.
Don't miss Adam Lucas' season analysis of sophomore big man Joel James...The Clippers introduced Antawn Jamison and had comprehensive quotes, video and photos...Interesting shot chart here of Jamison's production last year--looks quite a bit different from his time at UNC, huh?...This headline will take some getting used to: can Syracuse win the ACC (some UNC content also).
Olympic sports
Volleyball gets started this weekend, and here's a video preview of the trip to Murfreesboro:
Today's games
Football: Carolina at South Carolina, 6 p.m., ESPN. The Tar Heel Sports Network has a special two-hour pregame show.
Tar Heels in the NFL
Saints beat writer projects Kevin Reddick to make roster of 53 as undrafted free agent, but he's definitely on the bubble going into exhibition game tonight...This isn't the NFL, but bet you didn't know that Darian Durant has 17 touchdown passes and zero interceptions for Saskatchewan in the CFL.
Long read
No long read today, because you're too amped to sit and read on gameday. But we do have a "long listen," as here's Andy Griffith's "What it was was football." If you're a Carolina fan of a certain age, your dad could quote this verbatim. Or you might even be the dad who could quote it verbatim. The joke, in case you're new to this, is that it's Andy's first time at a college football game.
That's your official dose of North Carolina history right there.
Ready for the game yet? You're about to be. Watch this:
Reminder: We want your game/moment/player/coach photo requests for future editions of the Rundown. Tweet them or email them.
