Wall-E (2008)
Top 10 mistakes
Directed by: Andrew Stanton
Starring: Ben Burtt, Elissa Knight, Fred Willard, Jeff Garlin
Genres: Adventure, Animated, Comedy, Family, Romance, Sci-fi
Vote on Wall-E and more movies at The Big Fat List
Continuity mistake: After the escape pod scene (but before the 'dance'), Wall-E uses a fire extinguisher to fly back and forth. Between every camera shot except one, all the extinguisher particles disappear instantly.
Continuity mistake: When Wall-E presents Eve with the plant, he is facing her directly. When Eve is later viewing the footage from her security camera, Wall-E is shown facing at an angle towards the left of the screen, instead of straight ahead.
Continuity mistake: When EVE is reactivated on the Axiom bridge, she 'sits up' on her transport bed. The camera shot changes and she's 'standing' well in front of the bed rather than on it or even right next to it.
Continuity mistake: When Wall-E places the Rubik's Cube down, the position of it changes to when he sorts the spork out. Notice the colours that are visible on the corners.
Factual error: As a trash compactor Wall-E does not function logically. When he fills his chest compartment with garbage and runs his internal compactor, the cube that exits his body is the same volume as the trash he puts in, despite that trash having been compacted. He does not add extra trash to fill the empty space after running the compactor - there are three scenes that show him filling up only once with loose garbage and then ejecting a densely compacted cube.
Continuity mistake: When Eve fires a shot at the tanker they show an overhead view of the scene - there are three other tankers sitting on the starboard side of the exploded tanker. When the tankers fall like dominoes there are now four of them next to the exploded tanker.
Continuity mistake: When the ship bursts through the field of satellites, you can see that none of them attached to the ship or WALL-E, but in the next shot, there are now 5 or 6 satellites attached to WALL-E and the ship.
Continuity mistake: In the final scene on the lido deck when Auto alters the ship's gravity the people mover falls off it's tracks and barrels towards the passengers, smashing a huge path through the hover chairs. When normal gravity is restored and they hyperjump to earth most of the chairs are back in place.
Continuity mistake: When EVE is heading to the holo-detector with Wall-E and MO, Auto tilts the ship/alters the gravity field so that everyone on board (basically the entire human race) slides across the lido deck and piles up on the starboard bulkhead. When Captain McCrea takes control and rights the ship everyone is still piled against the bulkhead, with just a few people falling off the pile and some attempting to walk for the first time. Five seconds later when tossing the plant to EVE and going into hyper jump everyone on the ship is now equally distributed across the entire lido deck area.
Continuity mistake: After the Global CEO's message for A113 is played, the screen goes to the Buy and Large test pattern logo. As the Captain argues about the plant, the angle changes to Auto, and the Global CEO is on the screen again.

A month ago, on Dec. 14, I spent much of the day contacting the parents of children I work with as a child psychologist. Specifically, I called the parents of the children who were already anxious. "When he gets home, don't let him watch TV or go on the Internet.
"Just unplug this weekend," I said. "You'll have to tell him what happened soon enough, but do it when the images on TV and the Internet have faded."
I reasoned that already anxious children did not need to see those images from Sandy Hook Elementary: adults running in terror; children huddled in fear; SWAT teams storming yet another place that should be safe but wasn't. It is up to adults to reassure.
But, as someone who gives reassurance professionally, this is getting hard. We can (and should) remind children that the overwhelming majority of schools are safe. While true statistically, this reassurance is sometimes of little comfort.
Eventually, we have to face some difficult truths. For instance, there will always be people who are disconnected and angry. They perceive themselves as victims, and, by logical extension, everyone else as persecutors. "Guns don't shoot people," we are reminded, "People shoot people."
Actually, people don't shoot people. People shoot objects. The Columbine shooters weren't, for instance, shooting other kids. They were shooting jocks. They were shooting bullies. They were shooting snobs. Once we label a group we dehumanize them. And once successful at dehumanizing, a very small minority can justify the unthinkable.
So what are we to do? With the images of Newtown, Conn., fading, so, too, I fear, fades our moment of opportunity. Yes, part of the solution is to increase the availability of mental health services. But most of those who are mentally ill are not violent and those who are violent often refuse treatment. Increasing mental health services is necessary, but insufficient.
We have to take another look at gun control. I have no problem with most guns; however, I fail to understand how we can rationalize the widespread availability of assault weapons. These are weapons of mass destruction designed to kill people a lot of people. The arguments against some reasonable limits on these guns are, in my opinion, unconvincing.
For instance, imagine a gun were available that, instead of bullets, shot aerosol canisters of smallpox. Would our response be, "Oh well, that's the Second Amendment for ya"? No. Such a weapon would be a bridge too far because no one shoots deer with smallpox.
I understand that limiting some guns will not limit all gun-related crime, but putting locks on doors does not prevent all break-ins. Should we stop locking doors? The disconnected and angry will still commit acts of violence, but should we make it easy for them?
It is argued that any limit on guns is a slippery slope. But which slope are we, as a country, closer to going over? Having all our guns taken away? Or permitting all types of guns and psychologically compelling everyone toward full armament?
An arms race between neighbors is now a more real and frightening possibility than any arms race between countries. Given our culture of violence and social disconnection, which slippery slope is more likely?
So, blaming the mentally ill is not justified, and banning all guns isn't the answer. We need a balanced approach to a complicated social problem. All options should be considered before we miss our opportunity, as we did after Columbine.
Eventually, the images of Newtown will likewise fade, our resolve will weaken, and we may find ourselves, once again, reassuring children in the face of the unthinkable.

At Gonzaga, undergraduate students are invited to enter the philosophic quest through four programs of study: the University Core Curriculum, a minor, a major, and the Kossel concentration. Gonzaga philosophy courses also serve as components of interdisciplinary concentrations in Catholic studies, environmental studies, and women's studies. Gonzaga philosophy courses are also offered in the Gonzaga-in-Florence study abroad program, and internships in health care ethics are available to advanced students. With more than 20 full-time members and many part-time members, the Philosophy Department at Gonzaga University is among the largest in the western United States.
Wonder. Experiencing this feeling is how most people first enter the world of philosophy, the passionate quest for understanding. Gonzaga is a Jesuit, Catholic, and humanistic university. The study of philosophy has been at the heart of all three of these educational pillars—the heart of humanistic education since the time of Plato, of Catholic education since the time of Augustine, and of Jesuit education since the time of St. Ignatius of Loyola. Indeed, St. Aloysius Gonzaga himself was a philosophy student at a Jesuit university at the time of his death.
A minor offers students the opportunity to deepen their philosophical interests after completing the Core Curriculum requirements. The minor program features flexibility, since students are permitted to choose any three advanced (400-level) courses. The Philosophy minor is 20 credits, and 11 of those are already satisfied through the completion of the University Core Curriculum. The Philosophy department offers a large number of advanced (400-level) courses to choose from. These include courses on philosophical issues that arise within a particular profession, such as Health Care Ethics, Business Ethics, and Philosophy of Law. Other 400-level courses are devoted to various philosophical questions, figures, or historical movements, such as Happiness, Philosophy of Technology, Faith & Reason, Existentialism, and Chinese Philosophy.
THE CORE Because the sustained study of philosophy is at the very heart of any education that is Jesuit, Catholic, and humanistic, all Gonzaga University students complete this four-course philosophy sequence. Critical Thinking: As the philosophical component of the Gonzaga Thought and Expression Block, this course is an introduction to the basic tools and skills of thinking and reasoning. Philosophy of Human Nature: This course initiates students into the study of the human condition, the meaning and value of human life, and the human relationship to ultimate reality.
"Philosophia" is a Greek word meaning "love of wisdom." Such a love pursues, with great zeal, the fundamental and the transcendent questions of human life. Philosophy seeks, ultimately, to unify human understanding in a universal or integrative vision of all reality. Ethics: An upper-division course that studies the goals of human life and the norms of moral behavior. It also seeks to apply those goals and norms to specific moral problems. Advanced Study in Philosophy: All Gonzaga students must complete at least one course of their choosing at the 400-level. These courses typically build on the skills and materials studied in the first three courses. Examples of advanced courses include Business Ethics, Existentialism, Philosophy of Science, Philosophy of C.S. Lewis, and Chinese Philosophy.
THE MAJOR Upon completing the first three courses of the Core sequence (Critical Thinking, Philosophy of Human Nature, and Ethics), students may enroll in the Philosophy major program, which has three distinctive features. Collegial Bookend Seminars: Majors take the proseminar as they begin their work on the major and a senior seminar as they finish it. The proseminar introduces majors to the principal topics in philosophy and emphasizes practice in philosophical writing. The senior
seminar focuses on topics in metaphysics and epistemology; it also emphasizes philosophical writing. History of Philosophy Sequence: Majors complete a four-course sequence on the history of philosophy, including ancient, medieval, modern, and contemporary philosophy. Flexible Elective Courses: Majors also complete four advanced (400-level) courses in areas of their choosing. This enables advanced students the opportunity to customize their major in Philosophy.
THE KOSSEL CONCENTRATION The Kossel concentration is named after Clifford Kossel, S.J., who taught Thomistic philosophy at Gonzaga for many years. It is designed for all students who seek a Philosophy major that emphasizes Catholic thought. In addition to the Collegial Bookend Seminars and the History of Philosophy Sequence of the Philosophy major, the Kossel concentration program includes the following: Area Courses: Kossel students take three courses in traditional areas of Catholic philosophy: Christian Metaphysics, Theory of Knowledge, and either Faith and Reason or Philosophy of God. Supporting Elective Course: Kossel students complete an additional advanced elective course of their choosing. Additional Religion Study: Kossel students complete at least one course on Catholicism beyond the three Religious Studies courses required by the University Core Curriculum. Latin Study: Kossel students complete at least one full year of Latin language. *For more information about the Philosophy Department and its courses, please visit www.gonzaga.edu/philosophy or consult the Gonzaga course catalogue at www.gonzaga.edu/catalogues.
OUTCOMES With its focus on central and fundamental questions about reality, truth, and meaning, philosophy is at the heart of the academic life. Philosophical reasoning and familiarity with philosophical concepts and argumentation are therefore central components of intellectual formation. Philosophy hones analytical and communication skills by requiring students to discuss and write about complex ideas. Consequently, students with demanding professional career plans or a broad interest in the humanities will find the study of philosophy invaluable. A degree in and/or a strong knowledge of philosophy can be valuable when applying to a variety of professional schools that actively look for liberal arts majors, as well as for positions where employers value critical thinking, analytical reflection, and a strong understanding of human morality and values. Philosophy majors routinely outperform other undergraduate majors on the standardized entrance tests for graduate programs in the humanities, business, and the sciences. Recent Gonzaga Philosophy graduates have attended the following graduate programs in philosophy: • • • • • • •
Boston College Georgetown University Purdue University Arizona State University University of Notre Dame Loyola University Chicago Marquette University
Gonzaga students majoring in philosophy also often pursue graduate studies in law, medicine, public administration, business, and the social sciences. Some recent fields of employment for Philosophy graduates have included: • Computer Networking • Education (many levels) • Health Care Administration • Politics/Government Work • Publishing

Thanks Stephan, only prettyPhoto code run with WooCommerce. But in this case is WooCommerce to update the plugin right? The themes not installed by default woocommerce, but the user need download and install WooCommerce Plugin.
Where is the prettyPhoto code coming from? Is it coming from WooCommerce itself? Then they need to update it (and WooThemes have already updated all their themes so presumably know about fixing it for WooCommerce).
If it's coming from Visual Composer, then best to update to use the latest version of that to make sure.If you got the email from us, that means we did detect the prettyPhoto library in your zip file somewhere (presumably in Visual Composer).
Probabily, at this point I remove completely the prettyPhoto js from Visual Composer and resend the update.
Thanks for your time.
StephenCronin said
Hey Bluxart,
If the prettyPhoto code never runs on the site, then it probably should be fine (I don't believe it can exploited by directly accessing the file as in the case of some other vulnerabilities).
However, we'd still recommend updating your item to use the latest version of Visual Composer as soon as possible.Cheers, Stephen

Hi All,
Just updated the original post to say this:Note: ThemeForest authors, if you include Visual Composer in your items, please be aware that this was using an insecure version of prettyPhoto. It has now been updated to use the secure version. Please update your items to use version 4.5.3 of Visual Composer.WPBakery – thanks for updating so quickly!
Hi I receveid the email with some theme to update. But my themes don't load or use the in the back-end and front-end the prettyPhoto plugin but use a FancyBox js script.
I use Visual Composer but I removed the css and js original of the plugin and load mine scripts.
some thoughts?

Now imagine paying VAT. Becoming direct seller makes every Envato author VAT responsible. There's no money flow in your bank account to prove that you paid VAT…
There is NO WAY you will be responsible for handling the VAT, not IN THIS moment, not in this market setup. No matter how much Envato spins it, VAT is their responsibility, not their helping hand to authors, according to EU laws. In order for you to be direct seller thus responsible for VAT you'd have to be able to fully regulate your product. That means, get buyer info in full, skip "reviews", determine prices and so on. And VAT laws in EU clearly state that it's not just about what a "document" (read it as Envato's TOS) says. It's a matter of the actual, real flow of the process. And if it's debatable by documents, the process is analysed and reviewed. And THIS process will never pass of as clearly putting you as the direct seller responsible and exerting full power of decision on your items.Also, Envato would have to act as a payment processing company, which we all know it is not.
Envato is the direct seller. Stop!
Hi guys, I have a problem.
Yesterday I found a theme in another marketplace that is identical to mine, and it's the same code, function js, bugs, page builder and other things.
I believe they have purchased the theme here, they changed the logo, the names of the functions of the pattern js and then they sent him out into the marketplace.
My original Theme: [link removed]
Copied Theme: ['link removed]
What should I do to you?
I contacted the support of the marketplace to remove the theme, I must also contact Envato support you can give me support/advice in this matter?
Sorry but you cannot use my template :/

E-Cigarette Use Doubles Among U.S. Students
(John Del Signore) Kids these days with their underbutt and their twerking and their chapsnat, what a world! And now the youths can't get enough of those magical robot cigarettes that don't actually soil the air with any noxious smoke! A new survey from the CDC shows that e-cig use by middle and high school students doubled in 2012 over the previous year.

Given that 99.9% of the time you're sharing your resume electronically, it's super easy to forget one critical must-do before your next interview.
"They may already have your resume, but you still need to bring a copy with you," says DiceTV's Cat Miller. "And I mean a printed copy that is not stapled and not folded in half! This isn't something you should pull out of the front pocket of your shoulder bag, this is something that should be neat and clean when you present it."
Think about it: Your interviewer says, "You know, I left your resume on my desk. Do you happen to have a copy?"
Imagine the differences between these answers:
"Uh, no."
"I think I do, hold on." You rustle around in your most-professional-looking bag to sheepishly produce a wrinkled piece of paper/origami reject sporting a coffee ring. "Here you go."
"I do." You open your most-professional-looking bag, pull out your portfolio and slide one clean, crisp copy of your resume across the table. "Here you go."
With the latter, you look like you're forward-thinking, well-prepared and have excellent taste in 32 lb bond paper.
If we were interviewers, that would be our go-to trick question. Forget "Tell me about your greatest weakness", go with "Do you have a copy of your resume?" Boom.
Miller brings up another good point: having your resume on a flash drive doesn't count.
"Don't bring in a flash drive and say, 'here you go, it's all on here,'" she adds. "A lot of places have policies about that and you don't want to be caught empty-handed."

new "toy"
I'm thinking about getting a new bolt rifle. I want something larger than a .270 but smaller than a .338 win mag. Basically the 30-06, .308, .270wsm, 7mm magnum, 7mm-08, .300 win mag, and the .300 wsm. I really like the 7mm and the 300 magnum. It's going to be used for recreation and the occasional out of state big game hunt (elk, caribou, leopard, mulies, etc).
The 30/06 is probably the best "All Around" caliber for any type of hunting you will ever do. The 7mm Mag,and 300 WM are great calibers,but in a hunting weight rifle,will carry a good amount of recoil with them.
Even though I own one, I'd say not to go with the 770. From what I hear, only me and a handful of others have got ten the good ones from the batch.
For the $300.xx mark, you'd probably be better of going with the Axis/Edge from Savage. I haven't been able to shoot mine, but I rarely see anything negative about them. Another plus is that if you happen to put enough rounds through it to wear it out (not likely), you can swap the barrel out. The 770 has no such option for that, ones the barrel is shot out, you toss the entire thing.
7mm Rem Mag is pretty light on recoil. I put a limbsaver recoil pad on mine after surgery, it is a *****cat.
You can often find rifles with FN(Belgain) or Swedish(HVA, Carl Gustof) stamped receivers that are some of the best ever made for short money because they are not standard U.S. manufacturers. I always search these out and can usually talk them down because they have no clue as to what they have.
Very few people have complaints on the Savage Axis. Boyds now has replacement stocks available too. Axis is hard to beat from what Ive heard and seen, in that price range at least.
I always read about buying a budget rifle, restocking, buying an optic...
You can get a new Savage package gun with a wood stock and Nikon scope for about $700.00. It is done. Buy a 350.00 rifle, 100.00 stock 350.00 scope, mount and rings and you are past the cost of a very good package.
Not sure why you would do that??
I am a Remington guy however there are several rifles out there that are built better than the Remington 770. One of my favorite hunting rifle is a Remington CDL with a Leupold 3X10 on it in 7MM Remington Mag. But 30-06 is a good selection for hunting and shooting followed by the 308 depending on the game. Not that the 770 is all bad but there are better for the same money. And as JP advised there are some excellent package prices as he mentioned on the Savage and the Nikon Scope. Nikon makes some excellent glass and scopes also. You can not shoot what you can not see. And as he stated by the time you put all the components equipment together being the Rifle, Scope. Scope Mounts and other items you would have been better off getting one of the good package guns.
That is my two cents! Good Luck on your selection.

OUTREACH workers will join police on patrol in Colchester in the latest bid to prevent alcohol related crime.
Colchester Police launched the Reduce the Strength campaign nine months ago.
The initiative is an attempt to get super strength lager, beer and cider - above 6.5 per cent - off the shelves of Colchester's shops.
It is being supported by Police and Crime Commissioner Nick Alston with £3,610 funding, plus Colchester Council and the Community Safety Partnership.
The money is being used to promote the campaign with plaques for existing stores, a public event in July and information booklets.
It is hoped it will limit dangerous drinking practices, street drinking and night time violence.
From as early as next week, outreach workers from Colchester's Open Road drug and alcohol rehabilitation charity will support officers on routine patrols to offer help to people who need it.
PC Mike Lee, of Colchester Police, said: "They will be going out to people drinking in the street.
"It will be a case of us going to them rather than them going to organisations for help."
The patrols will happen at any time of day and will typically involve one Police Community Support Officer and one outreach worker, likely to be a volunteer.
Anyone they approach believed to be in need of support will be offered an appointment at Open Road at a later date, or offered a visit to its Queen Street base immediately to talk to someone.
Written information about the people will be taken by the patrolling police too.
PC Lee said: "It is different and it is taking the service to them."
Forty per cent of retailers in Colchester are now involved in the Reduce the Strength including big names Tesco, Marks and Spencer, Budgens and the Co-operative.

20 Years Ago KENNY Dalglish dropped a king-sized bombshell by retiring as manager of Liverpool.
The legendary King of the Kop confessed that the pressure of keeping the Reds at the pinnacle of European football had prompted his decision that sent shockwaves throughout the sporting world.
It even impacted on Bolton Wanderers where Dalglish's former Anfield team-mate, Phil Neal, was managing a side that was pushing for promotion back to the Second Division.
Neal was immediately installed as one of the front-runners for the Liverpool job but, after seeing Wanderers set a club record 21 league games without defeat with a 1-0 win at Reading, he played down speculation that he was a strong candidate.
"I'm privileged to have had my name put on the board," he said after bookies quoted him as fourth favourite behind Liverpool "insiders" Ronnie Moran, Alan Hansen and Phil Thompson.
"I'm just trying to make Bolton Wanderers a better team. And until someone tells me different, that's what I'll continue to do."
Five years into the Burnden Park job, Neal was riding the crest of a winning wave. Next to bottom of the table when they lost at home to Stoke in early October, Wanderers went second top behind leaders Southend thanks to an inspirational performance by skipper Phil Brown and a 30-yard screamer of a shot from his fellow full-back Barry Cowdrill.
Meanwhile, over at Anfield, Dalglish poured his heart out as he explained his decision to walk out on his beloved Reds.
"The biggest problem was the pressure I was putting myself under in my desire to be successful," he said.
"I felt it would be wrong to mislead everybody into thinking everything was fine with myself. There is no animosity between me and the club. This is something I felt was right.
"It is just really the result of 20 years' active involvement in football that Kenny Dalglish the person has pushed himself to the limit. This is the first time I have made a decision more in favour of Kenny Dalglish than Liverpool Football Club. I felt I had gone far enough."
The champagne was flowing freely as Ron Atkinson celebrated Manchester United booking their place in the Rumbelows League Cup final against his former club Sheffield Wednesday.
Teenage sensation Lee Sharpe scored the goal as United beat Leeds 1-0 at Elland Road to complete a 3-1 aggregate semi-final win.
30 Years Ago NEIL Whatmore and John Thomas got the goals as Stan Anderson's Bolton Wanderers beat fellow Second Division strugglers Oldham Athletic 2-0 at Burnden Park to ease their relegation fears.
Wanderers could even afford the luxury of Alan Gowling's last-minute penalty miss as they banked two precious survival points.
The win came at a price, with Gowling and defenders David Burke and Gerry McElhinney picking up injuries.
Nevertheless, the result brought sighs of relief all round at Burnden where the game, which was snowed off the previous Sunday, attracted a crowd of just 9,641, costing the club an estimated £15,000 in gate receipts.
It was cash the hard-up Wanderers could ill-afford to lose, especially at a time when they were doing their best to offload players.
Record signing Len Cantello – available at a cut price £50,000, less than three years after arriving in a £300,000 deal – Paul Jones, Peter Nicholson, and Dennis Peacock were on the transfer list.
And Bolton officials were continuing to press the Football League to force Wolves to pay them compensation over the botched attempt to sign Peter Reid.
Wanderers claimed they lost Reid's services for 11 games at the start of the season and spent £180,000 on Dusan Nikolic from Red Star Belgrade as a direct replacement because Wolves had apparently agreed terms with the player before pulling out of the deal because they couldn't afford the fee.
Another player Anderson was looking to jettison was Roy Heaney – the tough tackling defender, who was in the unique situation of being wanted by both a football club and a rugby league club.
Halifax Town, managed by former Wanderers assistant manager George Mulhall, were interested in taking the 20-year-old to The Shay, while Heaney was seriously considering an offer to switch to the 13-a-side code with Wigan.
England's cricket tour of the West Indies was in the balance after Guyana objected to replacement fast bowler Robin Jackman because of his South African connections.
45 Years Ago ARSENAL sold England centre-forward Joe Baker to First Division rivals Nottingham Forest, prompting more speculation over the future of Wanderers' favourite Wyn Davies.
Bolton manager Bill Ridding revealed that his home phone was so busy with calls from press men that he felt his only course of action was to go out for the day.
Yet he insisted – and not for the first time in the Davies transfer saga – that the reporters were on a wild goose chase.
"We know nothing about it," Ridding said, just days after denying for the umpteenth time that the Wales international was heading for Manchester City.
On the field, Wanderers claimed the local bragging rights when second-half goals from Francis Lee and Freddie Hill, earned them a 2-1 victory over Bury in front of a crowd of just 12,287.
Bury, who were coming under increasing pressure to sell their teenage starlet Colin bell, had hoped to sign Sunderland striker John O'Hare in time to play in the derby, but the 19-year-old Scot called the deal off because he could not agree personal terms.
David Herd scored a hat-trick as Manchester United beat Burnley 4-2 at Old Trafford.
Farnworth lad Alan Ball made it abundantly clear to his Blackpool bosses that they could not satisfy his ambitions when he turned down their contract offer of £100 a week.
Ball said: "Blackpool have made me a great offer but it is not the money that bothers me. I don't want to stay here, no matter what they offer.
"I want to get into a winning team to be a better player."

Jamarcus Chatman thought he knew which Southeastern Conference program would be his future home. Then, he visited Tennessee.
The Rome (Ga.) High School defensive lineman made his way to Knoxville on Saturday to take part in Orange Carpet Day. Within 20 hours of the recruiting trip to Tennessee being complete, Chatman backed off a verbal pledge to Louisiana State that had been in place since April 22, causing the Tigers to surrender the No. 2 spot in Scout's national team recruiting rankings to Ohio State.
"After many hours of prayer and discussion with my family, I have decided to decommit from Louisiana State University and re-open my recruitment," Chatman said in a release Sunday. "This was a very hard decision to make. I would like to thank coach (Ed Orgeron) and the whole Louisiana State University coaching staff. I still think Louisiana State University is a great place to be, but this is the right decision for me."
Curiosity got the better of the 6-foot-2 ½, 264-pounder after months of hearing about how special of a place Tennessee is, which sparked his getting in the car with Rome teammates over the weekend.
"I heard it was a nice stadium and nice campus, so after what everyone told me, I had to come up here and visit," said Chatman, who has a sister-in-law at Tennessee.
"It was awesome. I got to meet coach (Butch) Jones. All the coaching staff, they showed that they really wanted me. They made me feel like I was family."
The Vols "definitely" gave him something to think about with his recruitment. They also were the first SEC program to offer a scholarship to Chatman, pulling the trigger back on Feb. 23.
"When I first got it, I was ecstatic, I was so happy," he said. "My brother, he was real happy because they're big Tennessee fans. Everybody in my family was real happy."
Chatman is tight with Rome teammate and fellow defensive lineman Ja'Quon Griffin (LSU commit) and said the chance of them going to separate colleges is "probably not" going to happen. Griffin, who originally committed to the Tigers the same day as Chatman, picked up a Vols offer Friday.
Chatman, who was impressed by the campus in his one trip to Baton Rouge, spoke about the people on Rocky Top being different from other places he's been.
"The fans, everyone shows love, everybody showed a lot of attention. I like the academic area in Tennessee," the Scout four-star prospect said.
Should Chatman decide to play for the Orange & White, he will have plenty of support on the home front.
"My family, they're comfortable with whatever I choose, but they like Tennessee," Chatman said.

Finding good honest affordable skincare is like trying to find a needle in a hay stack and several needles at that. One for this and one for that you know the routine. The BEE-a-uty about Medicine Mama's products is easy. Versatility. If you're the average person just looking for an effective moisturizer you can trust, or someone who needs help healing and revealing their troubled, dry or imbalanced skin we've got that covered too!
Did we mention you can eat it too?

Is there sunscreen in MMA products?
Our most important advice here is: Wear an organic sunscreen free of chemicals, parabens and sulfates. "Sunscreen is the best tool we currently have to lower the incidence of skin cancers and wrinkles," says Dr. James Spencer, a dermatologist in St. Petersburg, Fla.
Here are some simple dos and don'ts for purchasing a healthy sunscreen that will protect your skin while also not bearing it down with a heavy chemical load:
- Don't buy a sunscreen that uses oxybenzone, this chemical could disrupt hormones. It acts like estrogen in the body and is associated with endometriosis in women.
- Do look for a sunscreen that blocks both UVA and UVB rays, which means finding a brand that uses the phrase "Broad Spectrum."
- Don't use aerosol sprays or powders. With these types of sunscreen, you can accidentally inhale nano-size titanium dioxide, a possible carcinogen.
- Do look for the USDA Organic Seal. This seal means that your natural sunscreen has no harmful pesticides or synthetic fertilizers, and no genetic engineering is involved.
What is Melexylem™?
After four years and several hundred experiments, Donna Steinmann the founder of Medicine Mama's Apothecary perfected the formula, temperatures and curing times to bind ancient forest honey and propolis together in a 28 day Flavonoid Compound curing phase, creating Melexylem™: a super concentrated substance that is far more than the sum of its parts with extremely heightened prebiotic, anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
So how did we come up the name you ask?
Well, Melexylem™ is kinda like the powerhouse name Brangelina (Brad Pitt + Angelina Jolie) but instead of calling it something like Honopilis we went a little deeper than that and combined 3 words Xylem (the inner most sap or resinous fluid of the ancient forest trees), Mel (honey and bee in many languages) and Melezytos (crystalline balls of aphid dew full of protein and enzymes that bees harvest from the aphids) and came up with our signature trademark Melexylem™.
Is oil really the secret cure for ACNE?

I'd give it 12 stars if I could" –JLA22

Our tip to you:
We understand reading the ingredients list on beauty products is like trying to read a foreign language. And let's be honest most of us just skip it completely and trust the big bold letters on the front that say, 'organic', 'natural', 'beautifying', 'perfecting', etc… while these are nice, safe and comforting words they are not always the truth. Many of the ingredients in the fine print on the back are actually counterproductive to our skins beauty and health. So buyer beware and don't fall for the hype take your time to know what's in your products.
What to do?
There is only the middle way here, read the label, remain skeptic until proof is clear and keep a chemical and herbal compendium handy at all times, or your smart phone to translate the 25 letter chemical compounds on the label.
Did you know?
The FDA allows cosmetics and personal care to self-regulate on an honor system so don't compromise your health, check your products for toxicity and stay healthy.
What do you recommend for people who suffer from excess, dermatitis and blotchy, rashy skin issues?
Healthy happy skin everyday should be simple just like our ingredients. Get your skin balance back!
"I have had trouble with eczema ever since I can remember, this time of year is so rough on my hands they are usually cracking and splitting. This stuff has done wonders and I don't even have to apply it through the day, I just put it on once in the morning and once at night and my skin is softer then it has been in years. Thanks so much for a great product!" -Mary
Does Sweet Bee Magic and Ultra Beauty Balm work on fine
lines and wrinkles?
Yes, Yes and Yes! Ultra Beauty Balm as a night cream and Sweet Bee Magic as a lighter protective base during the day or whatever you prefer will work wonders to nourish, hydrate, brighten and balance the skin improving tone, texture, and reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
"My friends keep telling me I look younger...Thank you Medicine Mama's, I am a fan for life!"
I'm allergic to bees, can I use your products?
That is actually a great question and we get it often. Allergies to bee stings actually bear no relation to honey and hive products, bee venom is a complete different chemical compound. If you are concerned you are allergic to honey and hive products we do suggest you try a tiny dab first.
[We are lab tested 100% Zero allergen non-irritant.]
Did you know the average honey bee's wings flap over 183 times per second? Pretty amazing huh, we thought so too!
What is the difference between Sweet Bee Magic and
Ultra Beauty Balm?
Ultra Beauty Balm is formulated with 2 ½ times the amount of our proprietary Melexylem™ blend and the added ingredient, sea buckthorn oil. Ultra Beauty Balm is very high in enzymes and formulated specifically for ultra-thirsty and stressed facial skin.
Both contain pure, honest, simple ingredients that moisturize, balance, heal and maintain beautiful glowing, healthy skin from head to toe!
Can I purchase your products in stores?
Can one beauty buy really replace all your makeup?
Here's what beauty writer Maria Del Russo had to say to Refinery29 about our Ultra Beauty Balm...
What moisturizer do you typically use?
I'm actually between moisturizers at the moment. I'd been using Hada Labo Tokyo's Skin Plumping Gel Cream and Erno Laszlo's Oil Control Day Lotion, but wanted something a little heavier for the winter.
Have you ever heard anything about a balm like this?
I go backstage at Fashion Week regularly and chat with makeup artists all the time, so I've already heard the gospel of miracle potions. I wasn't totally sold, though. I mean, anything that claims to be a miracle in a jar gets an immediate, harsh side-eye from yours truly.
What is your skin typically like during transitional weather like this?
A mess. It's disgusting — totally flaky and textured. I tend to break out a bunch, and actually need to up my exfoliation in order to keep everything in check. I haven't been able to find a moisturizer that keeps my skin from rebelling against me. So, I was pretty stoked to try this out.
So, talk to me about this product.
When I first cracked open the jar, I was terrified. The consistency was on par with petroleum jelly, and the thought of putting that stuff on my face was terrifying. But, the first day I tried it, I was instantly hooked. It definitely felt greasy, but it melted into my skin immediately and kept my skin feeling hydrated all day.
A few days into our little experiment, I realized that my acne was clearing up. I started spreading the balm on my lips, on my cuticles, and on my hands. My skin felt softer and more hydrated than it had in years. No flake, no texture, no nothing.
And, my friends started taking notice. I got multiple compliments about how glowing I looked, and how much better my skin looked. I've actually started using less and less concealer and foundation. It's like angels handed this down to me because they knew my skin was in trouble. I'm smitten.
What did it feel like to go back to your typical moisturizer?
Haven't, and don't plan to, as a matter of fact.
Would you use the balm again?
Been using it for almost a month now, and I'm totally converted. It feels a little bit like a miracle.

Subject: [{MOPOLK}] Capt. R.W. Menefee
Date: Sun, 3 Jun 2001 14:45:43 -0600
Posted on: Polk County OBITUARIES
Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/gc/USA/Mo/PolkObits/10151
Surname: Menefee, Lesslie, Wilson, Warren, Beck
Bolivar, Polk Co., MO
Bolivar Free Press Thu. 1 Apr 1886 page 4
Capt. R.W. Menefee
Capt. R. W. Menefee was born on Clinton, Todd county, Kentucky, October
3rd, 1815. At an early day he removed to Illinois and spent some years
there, then removed to Randolph county, Missouri, at which place he was
married to Miss Rebecca Lesslie, Daughter of John Lesslie, of Randolph
county. In March, 1845, he with his wife removed to this city. As a mechanic
he soon became prosperous, and by his affable, courteous, and very accommodating
principles he soon established himself in the hearts of the people, an
all who knew him, knew him to love. He strictly attended to his own business,
was very industrious, and but for his liberality would have accumulated
a fortune. The principles that characterized the early settlers were prominent
in the Captain's whole life. No mortgages needed to secure a small debt;
a man's word was his bond, and an old friend was never turned away. His
heart was too big ever to oppress the poor. He was never too busy or too
tired to respond to a call to go out at the late hours of the night to
do a kind deed for a friend, and when called upon he was never known to
refuse, if in his power to grant.
His heart was for his country, and when volunteers were needed to quiet
the Mexicans and wild Indians, our old friend quickly responded to the
call, and in July, 1846, in Capt. Roberson's company (of whom only twelve
remain), he with Maj. W.B. and M.W. Mithchell bade adieu to wife, children,
home, and friends, perhaps never to return. During that campaign there
grew an intimacy between the members of that company that never has been
broken. A few days before the Captain fell asleep, when he knew but few
who came to see him, when my name was called he put out his hand and have
me a warm grasp, saying,, "Tell the Major and Morris when you see them
that I would like to see them, but I do not expect to meet with the old
guard any more." In this conversation I mentioned the bounty that the great
giver of all good would bestow upon all that would come unto Him, and he
seemed to appreciate it.
When the war between the states broke out, Capt. Menefee was to the front
again, ready to defend and maintain the flag of his country, and at the
close of that struggle he was, as of old, ready to rebuild the waste places,
and gather around him his many friends and enjoy the purchase for which
his forefathers died-life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
His second wife was Annie J. Wilson, Daughter of W.S. Wilson, of Arcadia,
Sulivan county, Tennessee. The fruit of this union was one daughter, Mrs.
A.W. Beck. His now broken-hearted widow is the daughter of john Warren,
of Polk county. With her he leaves five children, two sons and three daughters,
all of whom are unmarried. May God comfort the wife and dear children.
You stood nobly by his deathbed for fifteen weeks, and did all you could
to alleviate his sufferings. But he must go. The spirit has gone to the
God who gave it, and the body to the earth from whence it came. You can
gather around the mound that marks his last resting place and there bestow
the beautiful wreaths of flowers, plant the roses, and think of his many
virtues, and with an aching heart realize that Father is gone. You will
sadly miss him, but may you by the grace of God say, "Thy will be done."
You cannot bring him back. His chair is vacant; the familiar step is heard
no more; his fatherly voice is hushed forever; the family circle is broken,
and may you in this hour of great distress cast all your burdens upon the
Lord, who will heal the broken-hearted and set the captive free.
On the evening of the 22nd ult. (22 Mar 22 1886), our old friend fell asleep,
after fifteen weeks of hard struggle and great pain, and on the 23d at
half past three o'clock the G.A.R. conveyed the body in solemn procession,
followed by a long train of friends, from the residence to the cemetery.
The pastor of the Baptist church conducted the religious services while
the members of the old guard, G.A.R., of which the Captain was a member,
conducted the solemn army ritual. This scene brought us back twenty-seven
years, when amid the clash of arms the old veterans would with bowed heads,
and solemn tread, march to the notes of the muffled drum. In approaching
the cemetery it was observed that a large crowd had gathered around the
grave where would soon rest one of the oldest citizens of Bolivar. The
ceremonies at the grave were truly solemn and impressive. Thus we laid
to rest one of our good and honored citizens.
The family desires to express their gratitude to their many friends for
the kindness shown during their late bereavement.

Ratings for Dr. Mahan Chehrenama
Fantastic physician who pays attention to what you say.
I love visiting with Dr. Chehrenama and her nurse, Cheryl. It's always a pleasant experience and I feel like I'm being listened to throughout the visit. Dr. Chehrenama always has thoughts and ideas for my treatment and how to keep improving it. Because of her, I've been able to return to work part-time. I drive four hours to see her and it's well worth the trip. I highly recommend her to anyone with chronic migraines.
I will refer her to anyone who has been suffering from headaches.
I saw her for post concussion symptoms after seeing multiple other neurologists. She gave the best explanations and came up with a comprehensive plan for treatment. I liked her very much.
I was referred to Dr. Chehrenama by another neurologist. She reviewed all data very thoroughly and came up with a new course of action. She explained everything in detail and has given me more information than all the other previous docs. I will definitely continue with her recomendations.
Dr. Chehrenama was pushing expensive tests in her office. However, she did not return my calls when I was trying to get my results back. After three weeks of my calling and leaving messages, another doctor called me and explained the results. When I came to follow up appointment with Dr. Chehrenama, she interpreted my results copmletely differently that the previous doctor. I am not sure who is rigt. She again ordered another expensive test and told me "Even if the test results come negative, I will put you on medication as if you have the diagnosis". The test was supposed to be conducted in her office. May be because of that she wanted me to have the test? As for the front office, it is another story. Chehrenama's nurse did not even check the phone messages, they loose the faxes that were sent from my primary phisician's office and MRI place. Front desk ladies are rude.
I felt like a patient pinball when I returned to Dr. Chehrenama's office. Two years AFTER she'd resolved another medical issue that had proved too tricky for other neurologists to handle. Following a period of better health, I contacted Lyme Disease and was treated by my family physician with the appropriate anti-biotics. After a few months, however, Lyme-like problems and an entirely new stream of symptoms appeared. This entailed excruciating pain(bone/joint/nerve), extreme exhaustion, muscle weakness, and balance difficulties. Lyme tests repeatedly negative. Was referred to one specialist after another: infectious disease doctors, rheumatologists, internists, and sleep study gurus. ALL to no avail. Out of sheer desperation, I went back to Dr. Chehrenama. Two months later, following two visits and a couple of focused diagnostics, she absolutely nailed the proper diagnosis. I now have hope, a viable treatment plan, and a chance to cope w/o uncertainty. Dr. Chehrenama is amazing!
Wow. She was great. I was referred to her after 3 other neurologists could not help me. Very professional and caring.
Wonderful bedside manner and very detailed evaluation. Definitely would recommend her.
She was quite condescending and pushed a multi-day sleep study on me (assuming I have narcolepsy, which I do not), and also an MRI for simple migraine. She also pushed BOTOX VERY HARD as they get to charge insurance companies a lot of money for this procedure. Saw her once, now looking for another doctor.

Dave's College Basketball Picks, Mar.15: (5)Ohio State Against (3)PurdueMarch 14, 2009
(5) Ohio State vs. (3) Purdue
Line: Purdue -6
Ohio State shocked the nation with an 82-70 win on Saturday in the Big Ten semi-finals that pretty much ends the Spartans bid for a number one seed in the NCAA tourney. Michigan State made just three out of 21 shots from behind the arch.
Evan Turner had 18 points to lead the four Buckeyes who ended with double digits in scoring. As a team, Ohio State shot 53.2 percent from the floor and pretty much led from start to finish.
Purdue advanced to the finals of the Big Ten Tournament with a 66-56 win over Illinois. Robbie Hummel continued his return to dominance with 19 points and 12 rebounds. Hummel has been hot from three point range and was four for four in this game.
JaJuan Johnson led the scoring for Purdue with 20 points. Purdue committed just five turnovers in the game that was a tale of two halves. Purdue controlled the first half and held a 37-17 point lead at half. Sound familiar, Illinois fans? The Boilermakers coasted a bit in the second half to bring the margin of victory down to just 10.

Historical Perspectives
Written by: Christopher Bellitto
In January 1959, Pope John XXIII (1958-1963) stunned the Church and the world when he called for an ecumenical council, ultimately called Vatican II and meeting 1962-1965. His goal was to see if the Church could update herself (using the Italian word aggiornamento), engage fellow Christians, and work toward repairing other difficult relationships, such as the one the Church had with Judaism. He lived only to see the first session, but his successor Paul VI (1963-1978) continued his effort to make the Church more accessible, relevant, appealing, global, open-minded, and refreshing. The council was, in John's words, supposed to be a new Pentecost.
Much of this effort sent theologians, liturgists, scriptural scholars, liturgists, and Church historians back to the Church's past in order to understand her present and chart her future. While a segment of Catholics considered the Church as unchanging and fixed in time--indeed, this was quite appealing and comforting to some eyes--others followed the logic articulated by John Henry Newman in the late 19th century, that the Church had been undergoing development and change throughout her history. The label "Tridentine church," referring to the Council of Trent that had concluded in 1563, was used to label and sometimes slander a Church set in stone and backward in thinking, but in reality it had only been during the last two centuries or so that the Catholic Church had closed herself off from modern developments stemming from the Scientific Revolution and Enlightenment of early modernity.
Much of the credit for a reconsideration of Catholic Church history must go to John XXIII, the only trained Church historian elected pope, and John Paul II (1978-2005), a man with a strong sense of history. It was John XXIII who famously, as he prepared for his first Good Friday service after his election in 1958, with a pen struck out words that disparaged Jews from the liturgical text, saying aloud, "Basta! (Enough!)." It was this attitude that led, albeit after his death, to Vatican II's statement Nostra aetate (the Declaration of the Relation of the church to non-Christian religions) that changed the course of Church history by lamenting violence done against Jews and stating clearly that not all Jews during the time of Jesus, and certainly none since then, can be accused of, and punished for, his death.
John Paul II went further, visiting the Holy Land, including the Holocaust memorial Yad Vashem, and leaving a plea for forgiveness from God in the Western Wall for crimes perpetrated by Christians against Jews over two millennia. Indeed, John Paul II made more than 100 statements acknowledging to various degrees Catholic errors in judgment, violence, and persecution during Church history, often asking God for forgiveness and the aggrieved groups or their descendants for an open hand in reconciliation. This practice of admitting mistakes, a practice not continued under Benedict XVI, was greeted by many as a groundbreaking effort at institutional honesty and self-reflection--particularly as an example of sound historical thinking within the Vatican--but others feared that admitting mistakes of action might be a slippery slope that would cause groups within the Church to question whether doctrinal matters can similarly be reevaluated.

Fight or Flight: Aaron Peña's Party Switch
Peña's tweet of the post long after it had been pushed into the archives of my blog made me realize that the wound is still there. To play off of Harold Cook's excellent metaphor of Peña leaving one party for the come-hither look of another, it's as though Democratic activists and their establishment players have been sleeping on opposite sides of the bed for quite some time now.
It's a messy marriage. Peña's likely party switch didn't surprise me, but it did disappoint me. Peña has always made himself available to me, and most bloggers, so in the process of writing this post, I decided to ask him if he had any comments for me. This is what he wrote:
"I've been a Dem. since I first worked for Hubert Humphrey at the age of 5. Was Pres. of Hidalgo County Young Democrats, State Pres. of Tejano Dems. Twice national delegate and one time national platform committee. Was one of Clinton's top Texas donors. Ran for state party chair. Texas party took for granted Hispanic community and ostracizes moderate and conservatives. I have spent my life trying to break the direction of the shortsighted cabal in charge."
My follow-up question was easy: "So why give up now?"
His answer? Not so simple. "Still thinking. Go get em."
Whether you agree with Peña's ideologies or political choices he's made as a Democrat, one thing has always been fairly evident: he's not afraid of confrontation. He's ready to fight for what he believes in. On a personal level, his potential party switch makes me wonder what I could have done differently. On a Party level, though, it makes me wonder how weak a party must become in order for it to no longer be worth fighting for.
Horses, and many prey animals, have a biological response caused by acute stress known as "fight or flight." In times of great peril, their heart rate will go up, their peripheral vision narrows to focus soley on the threat facing them and they experience "auditory exclusion," the inability to hear anything around them. There is a moment -- sometimes a split-second of time -- where all of these physical reactions enable them to either have the speed and agility to run away, or the strength and focus to stay and fight.
And maybe that's where Peña and I must go our separate ways. Because while the Party has consistently disappointed me, since age 13 when I learned what a blow job was from Bill Clinton; since the first time I ever voted and my mom announced to a bunch of pot-bellied Republicans in line in front of us that I was there to vote for "Tony Sanchez, even if he is going to lose;" since our Gubernatorial candidate refused to be seen with our President; even after all of this, there is still so much worth fighting for in the Texas Democratic Party. There is a woman whose body is controlled by a man. There is someone on death row who will be killed for a crime he didn't commit. There is an immigrant whose plight is the cultural makeup of this country. There is a child across the street who doesn't have health insurance. And there are two people who love each other who deserve equal rights.
There is struggle ahead and difficult change. It is the moment of deciding whether we choose fight or flight, and I say we fight. And while he's well-equipped to do either, I wish Peña would do the same.

Best Of :: Arts & Entertainment
For close to fifteen years, Dazzle has shown that it has what it takes to be a dazzling, world-class jazz venue. Downbeat magazine agrees: It's rated Dazzle as one of the top 100 jazz clubs in the world. This is just about the only place in town where you can regularly catch jazz legends like Christian McBride, Curtis Fuller, Bobby Watson and Junior Mance, as well as such great local players as Ron Miles, Kenny Walker and Jeff Jenkins; over the past year, the venue has somewhat broadened its horizons by bringing in forward-thinking acts that include the Bad Plus and the Nels Cline Singers. And not only does Dazzle feature stellar talent seven days a week, but it also serves mouth-watering food and boasts an excellent $5.60 happy-hour menu.
After a long run, the 15th Street Tavern closed in 2007, leaving a big hole in the downtown punk scene. And almost immediately, the Tavern's Myke Martinez started looking for a place where he could resurrect that beloved venue. It took a few years of hunting, but Martinez and Kris Sieger, another former 15th Street owner, finally found what they were looking for in the spot previously occupied by the Triangle. The two teamed with 3 Kings Tavern owner Jim Norris to overhaul the space, adding a stage and putting a tiki bar in back. While the Rockaway isn't an entirely authentic resurrection of 15th Street, it borrows elements from both that venue and 3 Kings to add something entirely new, and much needed, to the scene.
Gary is determined to make his fortune by catching a home-run ball. In Ian Merrill Peakes's committed, intelligent performance in the premiere of The Catch at the Denver Center Theatre Company, we saw all the character's complexity, his brilliance in calculating the odds, his grandiosity and delusion — and also his very human attempts to connect with his estranged wife and emotionally pinched father.
Nick Sugar was born to play the raucous, all-stops-out part of Hedwig in Hedwig and the Angry Inch. In this Avenue Theater production, he got to strut, cross-dress, belt out numbers both sexy and forlorn, boast, whine, mock and beg — and all while he held the audience spellbound. And then he went further, reaching deep into his own soul to find a redemptive dignity amid the squalor.
In Reckless, Rachel is a crazy, farcical character, given to euphoria attacks and blindly ecstatic babble (only briefly interrupted by her husband's revelation that he's taken out a contract on her life). In the role, Julia Motyka sometimes bounded around the stage with an energy so manic you wanted to help those contract killers strangle her yourself. But at other times she was thoughtful and smart, and by the play's end, she'd deepened into someone you genuinely wanted to know. Motyka's smart performance in the Denver Center Theatre Company's production was anything but reckless.
In Mouse in a Jar, Ma is the ultimate female victim: a Polish immigrant married to a faceless man who regularly abuses her and stands symbolically for the brute power of dictatorship and oppression everywhere. Ma cooks. She awaits the nightly return of her oppressor. She does little to protect her two daughters, and when one of them attempts to protect her, the attempt itself is brutal. Yet Ma also possesses a twisted, burned-in-the-flame toughness and humor. Trina Magness gave a memorable, haunted performance as Ma in LIDA's production of Mouse in a Jar.

Republican senator turned lobbyist Nick Spano is raising money this week for Andrew Cuomo's campaign (for governor? for attorney general?) in Rockland County, along with Democratic county chairman Vince Monte.
Tickets start at $1,000 for the event as Cuomo looks to build on his $10 million warchest.
As a lobbyist, Spano has been supporting Democrats and Republicans and even doles out campaign money through his still active Senate campaign account, spending about $27,000 from January through mid-July on various campaigns.
He gave $5,000 to the Westchester Conservative Party PAC and $4,500 to the Westchester GOP. But he also gave $3,000 to "Friends of Carl," which is Senate Finance Chairman Carl Kruger's committee and $1,000 each to Sens. Jeff Klein and Malcolm Smith.
That's not the only fundraising going on the area.
Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver, D-Manhattan, is hosting a golf tournament fundraiser at the Hollow Brook Golf Club in Cortlandt Manner today, and Gov. David Paterson is expected to stop by later today.

New York : St. Martin's Press, 2015. xvii, 298 pages, 8 unnumbered pages of plates : color illustrations, map ; 25 cm Brazos en Jarra (our Pamplona family) -- Breakfast After Bulls (a perfect day) -- The Running of the Bulls (this is what it is) -- Burnin' Daylight (getting ready for Pamplona) -- Etxea (history of the San Fermín Fiesta) -- Charlie Don't Surf (philosophy of running) -- (Cobblestoned) Street of Dreams (a daily plan) -- The Other 23 Hours and 57 Minutes (what do we do all day) -- A Side Trip into My Blue Heaven (leaving the fiesta behind sometimes) -- The Feria del Toro (the bullfight) -- Dining Like a King (dining in the Basque country) -- A King's Coffee (A separate chapter? Yes, it's that important) -- -- AS-204/Apollo 1 (surviving a serious injury) -- From Here On In It's Frank Sinatra (why we return) -- Let's Agree on Some Terms. Ever since Ernest Hemingway popularized the fiesta de San Fermín with the publication of The Sun Also Rises in 1926, the world has been enthralled with the concept of running with the bulls. For millions, running with the bulls remains on their bucket list, and for Hemingway fans it is a lifelong dream. For Peter N. Milligan, it is a way of life. Part memoir and part travel guide, Bulls Before Breakfast recounts Milligan's many adventures in Pamplona, Spain. In his dozen years of visiting the fiesta de San Fermín, Milligan has run with the bulls over 70 times and accumulated stories both thrilling and terrifying. Bulls Before Breakfast is the definitive guide to Pamplona, its famed fiesta, and the surrounding Kingdom of Navarra. It is also a memoir of two brothers running with the bulls and exploring every corner of the city, the countryside, the mountains, the beaches, and the famed restaurants of the Basque hinterland. The book focuses on local knowledge, and the hidden mysteries of this closed, private culture and community. Milligan has slowly pried open this trove of secrets over the past twelve years, all while refining the art of getting between the horns of a massive, perfect Spanish killing machine, el toro bravo, and running for his life. 3050295 Halloween jack-o'-lanterns 2015-06-16T00:00:00-04:00 Stevens, Kathryn, 1954- author.

Artist Charley Harper--perhaps with his wife, Edie, also an artist--created the fun little book for his family. A playful riff on the traditional Yuletide carol "The Twelve Days of Christmas," Partridge is the kind of whimsy an artist dashes off while relaxing around the fireplace--and that's the beauty of it. With its pastel sketches and humorous text, this sweet take on a holiday classic provides an intimate look at Harper's fun-loving personality."--Publisher's description. 2997501 The origins of Christmas 2015-03-16T00:00:00-04:00 Kelly, Joseph F.

When was Christmas first celebrated? How did December 25 become the date for the feast? How did the Bible's "magi from the East" become three kings named Melchior, Caspar, and Balthasar who rode camels from three different continents to worship the newborn Christ? How did the Feast of the Nativity generate an entire liturgical season from Advent to Candlemas? Why did medieval and Renaissance artists portray Joseph as an old man? When did the first Christmas music appear? And who was the real Saint Nicholas? These and many other questions are answered in this revised and expanded edition of The Origins of Christmas. The story of the origins of Christmas is not well known, but it is a fascinating tale. It begins when the first Christians had little interest in Christ's Nativity, and it finishes when Christmas had become an integral part of Christian life and Western culture. 3019570 The old magic of Christmas : yuletide traditions for the darkest days of the year 2015-01-28T00:00:00-05:00 Raedisch, Linda, 1968- Woodbury : Llewellyn Publications, 2014. xi, 281 pages : illustrations ; 21 cm A thousand years of winter -- At home with the elves -- Dead by Christmas morning -- Riders on white horses -- Creatures of forest and mountain -- The Scandinavian household sprite -- Reindeer games -- A Christmas bestiary -- Winter's bride -- There are witches in the air -- Dark spirits of hearth and home -- A Christmas witch's herbal. "Not so very long ago, Yuletide was as much a chilling season of ghosts and witches as it was a festival of goodwill. In The Old Magic of Christmas, you'll rub elbows with veiled spirits, learn the true perils of elves, and discover a bestiary of enchanted creatures. Rife with the more frightful characters from folklore and the season's most petulant ghosts, this book takes you on a spooky sleigh ride from the silvered firs of a winter forest to the mirrored halls of the Snow Queen. Along the way, you'll discover how to bring the festivities into your home with cookie recipes and craft instructions, as well as tips for delving more deeply into your relationship with the unseen"--Page 4 of cover. 3014832 Santa Claus is for real : a true Christmas fable about the magic of believing 2014-12-08T00:00:00-05:00 Hall, Charles Edward.

This proximity is calculated based on survey scores on areas such as politics, religion and social life. The data is 'reduced' to some dimensions (displayed in the axis of the chart) and then plot according to how much they load in each dimension. This type of graph is used specially in qualitative research.

St LOUIS Cardinals bounce back to level the World Series 1-1 with a 4-2 victory in game two at Fenway Park.
MICHAEL Wacha won again in October and the St. Louis Cardinals got just enough help from Boston, beating the Red Sox 4-2 Thursday night to level the World Series at 1-all.
David Ortiz put Boston ahead in the sixth inning with a two-run homer just over the Green Monster in left, ending Wacha's scoreless streak at 18 2-3 innings - a rookie record for a single postseason.
But then John Lackey, who in 2002 with the Angels became the first rookie in 93 years to win Game 7 of a World Series, faltered in a three-run seventh. St. Louis went ahead when Matt Carpenter hit a sacrifice fly that led to a pair of runs, with the second scoring on errors by catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia and reliever Craig Breslow.
Carlos Beltran, back in the lineup after bruising ribs in the opener, followed with an RBI single.
"I worked so hard to get to this point," Beltran said. "Somebody would have to kill me in order for me to be out of the lineup."
Wacha, a 22-year-old right-hander, wasn't quite as sharp and allowed two runs, three hits and four walks in six innings with six strikeouts. But he improved to 4-0 in four outings this postseason, matching the amount of regular-season wins he has in his brief career.
"He pitched outstanding," Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina said. "Just one pitch, to a great hitter like Big Papi. We take our hat off to him, but I mean, he pitched good tonight.''
His parents and sister made the trip from Texarkana, Texas, and sat bundled in cold-weather clothes in the stands to watch Wacha, the 19th pick in last year's amateur draft.
The Cardinals' hard-throwing bullpen combined for one-hit relief, with Trevor Rosenthal striking out all three batters in the ninth for a save. He whiffed Daniel Nava with a 99 mph fastball to end it.
All three St. Louis pitchers Thursday night were 23 or younger.
"It doesn't surprise me. Those guys got talent," Molina said. "Like I said many times before, they're not afraid to pitch."
Seeking its second World Series title in three seasons, St. Louis improved to 7-0 this postseason when scoring first and stopped Boston's streak of nine wins in World Series games.
When the Series resumes Saturday night at Busch Stadium, Jake Peavy starts for the Red Sox and Joe Kelly for the Cardinals. Twenty-nine of the previous 55 teams that won Game 2 to tie the Series went on to take the title.
A night after the Cardinals made three errors in the opener and allowed the Red Sox to romp 8-1, the fielding failures were on the other side.
Given a 2-1 lead, Lackey walked David Freese with one out in the seventh and allowed Jon Jay's single. Breslow relieved, and the Cardinals pulled off a double steal as pinch-runner Pete Kozma swiped third.
It was an uncharacteristically aggressive move for the Cardinals, who ranked last in the National League with 45 stolen bases this year.
Daniel Descalso, who started at shortstop after Kozma made two errors in the opener, loaded the bases with a walk. Carpenter followed with a fly to medium left, and Jonny Gomes' throw home was slightly to the first-base side of the plate as Kozma scored the tying run.
Saltalamacchia allowed the throw to glance off his glove as Jay took off for third. Backing up the plate, Breslow hesitated before throwing to third, then sailed a high throw into the stands as Jay came home with the go-ahead run.
Beltran, making his first Series appearance at age 36, singled to right for a two-run lead.
A few hours before the game, Cardinals manager Mike Matheny wasn't even certain Beltran would be able to play. The eight-time All-Star was sent to a hospital for scans Wednesday night after bruising ribs while banging into the right-field fence to rob Ortiz of a grand slam.
Beltran said he was given painkillers, and he appeared to be wearing protective padding under his jersey.
Matt Holliday, whose ninth-inning solo homer in the opener avoided a shutout, led off the fourth by driving a 92 mph fastball to the deepest part of Fenway Park, near the 420-foot sign below the triangle section of the bleachers in right-center. The ball hit with a thud off the low fence on the side of the Boston bullpen, ricocheting across toward straightaway center.
Matt Adams lined to second baseman Dustin Pedroia, who made a diving catch with the infield halfway in. Molina followed with a bouncer over the 6-foot-6 Lackey that was grabbed by Pedroia, who realized his only play was to first as Holliday scored.
