Good food, nice pool and attractive outside eating area. Room decor getting a little shabby,in need of redecoration.
The loungers around the pool were amazing....bean bags and hammocks!. And I loved being waited on around the pool. The food at the restaurant was very tastey. A 3 course meal with some unusual choices but delicious all the same. Catered well for kids with less discerning palates. Little english spoken but just about enough to get by. The rooms were large and airey with air conditioning and wonderfully large showers. Quiet area but still close enough to Nimes airport which is a fabulous location for early morning flights. An excellent find which I would definitely recommend. no
It was a beautiful and charming place to stay. The pool was large, lovely and clean. The pool area was well equipped with hammocks, chaise lounges and the staff provided pool towels. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The room and bed were comfortable and clean.
Given the proximity of the airport the hotel was remarkably quiet. The overall atmosphere was one of calmness and relaxation. The staff polite and helpful. The main attraction as far as my children were concerned were Vanilla and Tiger. All in all a really welcoming Hotel
Very friendly staff and excellent evening meal. Very convenient for Nimes airport.
The staff were very freindly and helpful, the food was very very nice and not expensive, the pool area was great . The hotel does have traffic noise .
The outside pool is a great asset. breakfast was adequate (not the best we had, but the food was wonderful in the evenings, especially the fish and the 'fig tart'. The owners were very helpful and even gave us a lift to the airport. Although some aspects of the room need updating, such as the bathroom, it was clean and tidy and the bed was comfortable,
friendly & helpful reception staff. beautiful pool restaurant not open
We stayed one night between destinations. We enjoyed the pool and the restaurant. There is nothing special about the location.
Calm, relaxing atmosphere; very charming rustic building but quite sophisticated decor/ambience. Was worried about being so near an airport but only saw one plane and it wasn't very loud. Although only a stopover we all wanted to return for a holiday! although food was overall good, with a very nice breakfast, some disappointments at dinner (poor quality steak; over-peppered duck)

NEW YORK ( BankingMyWay) -- You're a small business retailer of women's apparel selling your clever design online. Let's say it's a small, weighted decorative magnet -- maybe in the shape of a poodle or flower -- that can be affixed to a summer skirt so when the wind blows or the subway grate bellows, your skirt doesn't go "Marilyn Monroe" on you. A payment by check for an order comes in, (but whoops!), the buyer paid way too much for that item. You check to make sure they didn't mean to order 100 of them. Nope, just one. And so when the buyer asks politely that you deposit the check and then send back to them the overpayment, the ethical person in you does just that. The only problem is, the buyer you were dealing with is about as far from ethical as a person can be. In fact, you, the small business owner and online retailer, have just become the latest victim of a pervasive (and lucrative) online sales fraud scheme. How pervasive? The crime described in the above example, known as overpayment fraud, is listed among the
top five crimes in the 2011 Internet Crime Report, from the U.S. Department of Justice, the F.B.I, and the National White Collar Crime Center. Bank fraud is an onerous and draining problem for everyone involved in an increasingly virtual world -- including consumers, vendors, banks and law enforcement officials. Javelin Research, which annually issues a comprehensive report on U.S. consumer fraud, says in its most recent review that I.D. fraud increased by 13% in 2011, although banks and financial institutions are doing a much better job protecting their customers against fraudsters. The Javelin study says that "consumer out-of-pocket costs have decreased by 44 percent since 2004, likely due to the improved prevention and detection tools that have come available as well as fraud alerts leading to reduced detection time." The give and take between fraud and fraud prevention forces the fraudsters to remain a crafty lot, and seemingly every time banks catch on to what criminals are doing, they come up with a new and more pathologically clever way to separate bank customers from their money.

A DEFIANT unbeaten century from captain Daryl Mitchell gave Worcestershire hope on the opening day of the LV= County Championship Division Two clash with Glamorgan in Cardiff as they closed on 232-9.
Mitchell reached 101 not out off 294 balls, notching 11 fours along the way, but received little support from his team-mates as Glamorgan's Graham Wagg and Dean Cosker finished with four wickets apiece.
Glamorgan's attack got off to an impressive start, bowling three maidens in the first four overs, which also saw all-rounder Wagg claim the first wicket of the day.
Matthew Pardoe edged the fourth ball of Wagg's second over to Gareth Rees at third slip as the left-armer continued an impressive run of form that has seen him go joint top of the FTI MVP rankings.
Mitchell and Tom Kohler-Cadmore joined forces at 3-1 and looked to steady the ship, but their partnership yielded only 30 runs before the latter fell lbw to Jim Allenby.
The visitors introduced debutant Alex Hales, who is on loan from Nottinghamshire, and he added 15 runs, including three boundaries, before becoming Wagg's second victim as Worcestershire headed into lunch on 73-3.
Cosker ensured there was no let-up for the Division Two leaders in the afternoon session, taking the wickets of Alexei Kervezee (10), Ross Whiteley (9) and Ben Cox (20) to leave Worcestershire reeling on 125-6.
Wagg then got back in on the action with his third wicket as debutant Tom Helm, on loan from Middlesex, produced a great catch at point to get Gareth Andrew out for seven.
Mitchell started to find the boundaries more frequently after that as his patient approach continued to keep Worcestershire afloat but Wagg claimed Jack Shantry (28) as his fourth victim before Saeed Ajmal (7) fell to Cosker in the closing stages.

ED Magedson – Founder
Ripoff Report
Rainsoft Water and Home Depot1105511055 Neeshaw Houston, Texas United States of America
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
This operation calls itself 'Quality Home Products of Houston'. They sell Rainsoft water purification systems and generators via telemarketing. They are somehow hooked up with Home Depot in an unholy alliance. As a telemarketer you are told to call people and say you are with "Home Depot Home Services and Quality Air". You are only given leads for people who have purchased a home recently, whether it's new or pre-owned. The first thing you will notice working there is that the place has a screwed up and ineffective marketing system and only certain people get the good leads. You call to congratulate the homeowner and launch into how Home Depot has reserved 'housewarming gifts' for them: a $20 certificate to use at either Home Depot, or a steakhouse or Target.
Then you tell them their next gift is a free water test, no strings attached. How a portable lab brought to their home by a certified Home Depot Tech will be used to show their water quality, no strings attached. [continued below]....
The really bad scam is the 'free washer and dryer' drawing box at Home Depot that some people have been stupid enough to drop a ballot into. This group of leads is the choice fertile kind because these people have already volunteered to be duped. They in most cases checked a box on this ballot that indicates their water smells or tastes bad! Wide open door and a lay-down lead to get an appointment, which the choice few telemarketers do with great frequency. The rest of us are calling the same numbers over and over every night until the people put up call reject on their number or answer and tell us to drop dead. Imagine seeing Quality Water on your caller ID 10 times a night for the next three months!
The deceptive part is that the washer-dryer drawing is NEVER HELD. There are NO FINALISTS. By the time these telemarketers call the people the ballot is already usually four months old, and they are told the drawing will be held a month later. That's the red flag....who waits six months to hold a drawing? Anyway they smoothly lie and say 'Oh you are a FINALIST in the drawing and we are calling to congratulate you and give you the $20 gift certificate ad nauseum. Guess what? It's a ruse to get in the door and do the infamous water test and sell the Rainsoft equipment at the outrageous price of $9,000. Where Home Depot comes in is that the people are allowed to finance this system on their Home Depot credit card if they have one. Ergo some finance funds for the Depot. O f course, if the customer doesn't agree to the appointment, their ballot is cast into the circular file....the trash! And if they do buy, same thing because they were never real ballots to begin with. Just bait to lure the unwary.
This is deceptive trade practice pure and simple.
The workplace is unprofessional. I suffered hearing about the DUIs and drunken adventures of these people I had to work with. I was given lame, overworked leads that had been called 100 times that were taken from the public courthouse records of all people who purchased a home recently, by district. Problem is, the leads were very scanty and passed out and recycled nightly as if they were gold. So I was calling the same numbers over and over. Sometimes someone would answer; mostly no. It was very long odds to get a sale unless you had the choice washer-dryer drawing leads, which I never got.
The job pays minumum wage. It is 28 hours a week. There are no spiffs for set, confirmed appointments, only bonuses for sales, and you had to have quite a few for it to amount to a hill of beans. And HOW exactly, with these lousy, worn out leads can you make many sales? One woman had been there 2 months, set numerous appointments (for some reason they gave her the highly coveted washer-dryer ballots) but had only SIX SALES in a two month period.
Bad place to work. You are dealing with reps who come and go like the wind and they give the good reps the appointments from the choice people working the washer-dryer ballots. The crappy reps get everything else.
If your head is spinning from this, imagine mine after two weeks of hearing these liars fast talk people over the phone while I sat calling the same 50 numbers over and over. When I asked the portly and overly gregarious 'sales manager' (liar) for better leads he gave me the runaround. My first check was short and I had to harass him to get the rest of the money.
Bad company. Good product but vastly overpriced. Sleazy techniques to get in your shorts pocket. Don't work there. If you have brains you'll see through it and realize you are working few hours for minimum wage with a long shot at making any real money from sales! The 'sales manager' told me during the interview that I would make ALOTTA MONEY there. I have found that when someone tells you this, expect the opposite. It never fails.
PS...the generators are sold via the same sleazy Home Depot WIN A GENERATOR scam PLUS the poor suckers who open their doors will get the water test and be pitched to buy the Rainsoft system. Double whammy!
It is so sad that these types of jobs are proliferating and the poor folks who are extremely talented in customer service and/or sales have little to chose from in this disastrous economic climate. And the employers prey on this. MINIMUM WAGE????????? No spiffs for set, confirmed appointments? And worst of all, so few leads that I swear I have never seen anything like it!

I am currently getting back into shape, but am certainly open to hearing idea's and potentially shooting. Please be patient with me as I do not check my Model Mayhem on a daily basis. If you are serious about a shoot please send me a message. I will respond as fast as I can.
I currently have open availability and am willing to shoot the following: Pin-up, Glamour, Fashion, Swimsuit/lingerie, Selective fetish, Alternative, Gore, Implied, I am not afraid to get dirty/ Messy (quite frankly I'd prefer it),I am willing to shoot tasteful nudes at this time.

Rick Ross, The Throne + Tyler, the Creator Are Big Winners at 2011 Sucker Free Awards
There's nothing sucky about this. Rap superstars Rick Ross, the Throne (aka Jay-Z and Kanye West) and Tyler, the Creator were some of the honorees at MTV2's first annual Sucker Free Awards in Miami on Dec. 4 (Sunday). The all-star event was created to salute rap artists who made an impact in the music game within the past year.
Rozay was on hand to accept his Artist of the Year award, which is a heavy, silver-coated king's crown trophy. The Miami rapper uttered his infamous grunt ("R-Ruh") before thanking his team, Maybach Music Group. "I'm so grateful and so thankful," he said during his acceptance speech. Meanwhile, his MMG artist Meek Mill nabbed the Who's Got Next honor. "I want to shout out Ricky Rozay, the whole MMG team, the Warner Bros. team and people who help me get here today," he said.
Although they weren't in attendance, Jay-Z and Kanye West were double winners at the Sucker Free Awards, winning Club Banger: Song of the Year ('N—as in Paris') and Certified Classic: Best Album of the Year ('Watch the Throne'). Also, snatching two awards was Tyler, the Creator, who won for Must Follow Artist (for his Twitter game) and Rookie of the Year.
Despite these wins, the night truly belonged to Lil Wayne and Birdman, who won the much-deserved Crew of the Year award for their team YMCMB. There's no question the duo had a big year with the success of Nick Minaj, Drake and Weezy, himself. They were certainly sucker free in 2011.

Checkers, Crocheting, Cricket: New Ward Recreation Emphasis Now Includes Everyone
"Think of what we could do with a recreation program in each ward or branch of the Church that would involve the entire ward family in wholesome activities—members of individual families participating with other families. Single people, unmarried, divorced, widows, and widowers, the active and the less active, all joined together in opportunities that would recreate and regenerate, that would bring rich social and physical and spiritual benefits to those involved." (Elder Marion D. Hanks, remarks at June Conference, the Ensign, September 1974, p. 91.)
Forty-nine million adult Americans recently made some interesting responses to a survey conducted by the President's Council on Physical Fitness and Sports. Only a few more than half felt they got enough exercise; most thought girls as well as boys should have the opportunity of participating in sports programs. Most felt they had become "spectators rather than participants," and that more emphasis should be placed on developing skills in "lifetime sports" that can be engaged in during the adult years—and even by the elderly.
The Church has now initiated a "Priesthood Athletic and Recreation Program" for all Church members. The new program falls under the direction of the ward athletic and recreation directors.
The present competitive athletic program is to continue on a vigorous level, but the new recreation emphasis would be an effort to involve the total ward family—including those who are inactive or who have physical impairments—in a program of recreation in which they can participate.
The goals of the program are to involve more participants and to urge participation on a broader basis than could naturally be expected in a competitive athletic program.
Widely used and accepted by Church members, the program could serve as a vehicle to develop basic human qualities such as physical well-being, the sense of achievement, fellowship, the joy of creation, the sense of service, and emotional stability.
The possibilities are almost endless. The recreation program can initiate physical activities (such as jogging, bicycling, hiking, and bowling), but can include arts and crafts, drama, dance, music, outing and nature activities, literary and mental activities, neighborhood gatherings, and service activities.
Consider what happened in the Boise Idaho North Stake under the direction of then stake president Vaughn J. Featherstone, now second counselor in the Presiding Bishopric of the Church. In the period of just one year, the stake offered 28 different activities for all ages and physical capacities, some of which included snow skiing, roller skating, swimming and diving, horseshoes, ping pong, golf, wrestling, camping, chess and checkers, a raft race, and paddleball.
By broadening the concept of Church athletics to include recreation, giving joy and fulfillment to each individual can be an even easier and more realistic goal, since those who might not otherwise participate in a regular program of athletics can be involved. Leaders see it as a tool to involve whole families, strengthen testimonies, and reactivate our own members as well as attract investigators to the Church.
Start at the Real Grass Roots as an Agricultural Missionary
"Agricultural missionaries are people (generally man and wife) who are qualified to go in the mission field and teach members how to produce more from their soil and related resources and how to increase their nutritional standards." (Church Welfare Department Bulletin on Agricultural Missionaries.)
As the first agricultural missionaries to serve outside the United States, Brother and Sister Daniel Noorlander were, in some respects, pioneers. Building on their success, the agricultural missionary program is just beginning to show its potential. Today, Brother and Sister Jordan Rasmussen are serving in the Guatemala Guatemala City Mission, and ten more couples are expected to be in the field in 1975, serving among American Indians.
"As President Harold B. Lee said, you can't have a good member of the Church who's hungry," reminds Henry E. Peterson, assistant managing director of the Church Welfare Department. "These agricultural missionaries are broadening people's diets, increasing yields from the land, and teaching them to produce more from resources at hand."
Agricultural missionaries also teach use of fertilizer, utilization of livestock, and help members make the best use of local governmental sources of agricultural information. The sister in the missionary team often teaches sanitation, nutrition, and food use and preservation. A married couple working together can thus emphasize most aspects of food. They do not try to impose methods or equipment used in more developed countries upon the farmers with whom they work. As Brother Peterson says, "If they're plowing with a stick, we teach them how to sharpen the stick."
Although they do not directly proselyte, the agricultural missionaries are effective in distributing Church literature and referring contacts to proselyting missionaries. Their major assignment is with members, and they are responsible to the mission president. Often they work under the direction of a branch or district president.
Couples considered for this service are interviewed, recommended, and called just as proselyting missionaries are; they must meet the same standards of worthiness, good health, and financial independence. The words "agricultural missionary candidate" should be written at the top of the recommendation form. According to the Priesthood Bulletin 19:2, these missionaries should have no dependents at home.
Although Brother Noorlander "didn't know what to expect" when he was first called, his meeting with the priesthood members of the branch in Patzicia, Guatemala, where he was assigned, was fruitful. The branch formed a successful cooperative and work was begun on six acres of Church-owned land next to the chapel. The members also continued to farm their own sharecropping plots, but incorporated better methods.
Some experimental crops were planted, rabbit raising was introduced, and dairy goats were sent in. Later, a carpentry shop was added to the cooperative.
"I firmly believe that we are to be the 'nursing fathers and mothers' that the Book of Mormon speaks of concerning these people," says Brother Noorlander. "The promise that the Lamanites 'shall blossom as a rose' is not an abstract dream. If they are given what they need to get started, they will blossom. I have never seen a people more industrious."
Help for Unwed Parents at LDS Social Services
"By law and by assignment from the First Presidency, all matters pertaining to the adoption and foster care of children in which the Church is or should be involved have been assigned to the Social Services Department." (Priesthood Bulletin, February 1971.)
Under ideal conditions, members of the Church do not have a need to place children up for adoption or foster care. There are circumstances, however, when childless Latter-day Saint couples and unwed mothers need some place to go for help in finding solutions to their particular dilemmas.
Consider the plight of Sally, a 15-year-old girl. She is pregnant, unmarried, and doesn't know what to do. She confides in her boyfriend; he urges her to get an abortion. He offers to make the arrangements and to pay the bill. Sally knows that abortion is not the answer, because she has been taught in her home that life is sacred and not to be tampered with. Frightened and desperate, she turns to her mother, who is shocked and saddened by her daughter's problem. At this point Sally's mother could have belittled her daughter, tried to shame her, and made her suffer even more for having transgressed; instead, she suggested that Sally consult a physician to confirm her suspicion that she is pregnant and to receive advice on prenatal care.
Knowing that in six months she will give birth to a child, Sally now has to decide whether to marry the father of the child, to release the child for adoption, or to keep the baby. She seeks further advice from her bishop.
While counseling with Sally the bishop recognized her sincere regret in having committed a sin. He desires to help her explore the possible solutions for her problem, and he tells Sally that the first consideration would be marriage. Since Sally and her boyfriend do not share the same ideals in life, she has no desire to marry him. Sally instead needs help in deciding whether to keep the baby or give it up for adoption.
At this point the bishop tells Sally about LDS Social Services and makes an appointment for her to talk with a professionally trained social worker. He stresses that the counselor will keep the information confidential and that she will retain her free agency to make her own decision. Sally decides to go for regular counseling so she can become aware of her real feelings and desires and of possible resources available within herself and her environment to solve her problem for her own sake and the sake of her unborn child.
Debra was referred to LDS Social Services by an attorney who was a friend of her family. Debra became pregnant out of wedlock during her senior year in high school. She wanted to finish high school but did not want to make her circumstances public.
Debra's social worker arranged for her to live with a Latter-day Saint family in a neighboring city. Here Debra was treated like a member of the family; she did light housekeeping duties and was given appropriate responsibilities and privileges.
Debra and Sally both were able to attend group meetings for unwed mothers, to take part in firesides, and occasionally they spent an afternoon doing arts and crafts together under the supervision of a trained female volunteer. These activities provided an opportunity to socialize, exchange common concerns, and voice frustrations. Both girls continued their education through a special tutoring program arranged by LDS Social Services. They also received prenatal counseling.
LDS Social Services recognizes that unwed parents have emotional, physical, mental, and spiritual needs and works with the unwed mother, the unwed father (if possible), and their parents (if appropriate). Through a series of interviews each unwed parent sets up a program that will prepare him or her to meet individual needs through self-understanding.
Financial planning is arranged on an individual basis, but members are encouraged to provide for their own financial needs.
Debra and her boyfriend both went for counseling and were able to obtain a greater understanding of who they are in the sight of their Heavenly Father. They pledged a determination to create a home that would welcome the spirit that would soon come to earth.
Sally, on the other hand, did not choose marriage as a solution to her problem. In her case, LDS Social Services arranged for the child to be legally adopted in a qualified Latter-day Saint home.
A majority of unwed parents helped by LDS Social Services go on to become successful wives and mothers and husbands and fathers, meriting the forgiveness of their Father in heaven and feeling his love.
LDS Social Services has agencies in Australia, Arizona, California, Canada (Alberta), Colorado, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Maryland, Missouri, Nevada, Oregon, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, and Washington. If there is no local agency nearby, Church members and officers may inquire for information through LDS. Social Services, 19 West South Temple, Salt Lake City, Utah 84101, telephone (801) 531-2846.

The Hotel and Staff were very good, and helpful to the patrons. but the Event Staff was not prepared for the rain with the concerts. The shows for at least 2 of the acts were cut short, and one didn't have time to do a proper sound check. The Acts still brought their A+ games and gave excellent shows. they should be invited back, well comped, And honestly apologized to. A few of us fans for Motion Device traveled long distances to see and support the band. Most of us drove 6+ hrs. We weren't disappointed by the band. We felt for them and what they had to deal with. Their Professionalism came through with Flying Colors!
Great resort in a great location.
Quit, nice people,no pets Only one housekeeping per week? No Bar and Restaurant in the Resort
Very large room, playground, staff was very friendly and accomodating. They brought us up a playpen and high chair.
Size of room (we used the 1 bedroom suite); availability of storage room for bikes) Lighting in vestibule of room was poor (bulb was dead, no natural light); mold in shower stall; check-in took long time (big line up, few staff); had to drive to horseshoe bike trails (should instead have a connecting trail so no car needed).Noisy fridge.
Great location for Golf, Horseshoe pit, Pool, Board Games can be signed out/borrowed during stay, EXCELLENT STAFF The BBQ area fills up fast and groups travelling together tend to hang out there for long periods of time after cooking their food (understandably though since picnic tables there - better than going back indoors and cramming a group into someone's room)
This is an amazing place to stay with your family. It's like your own little apartment and the pool is awesome for the kids! If you have 2 children and a baby your have to upgrade to a bigger room and the price difference is huge! It was two hundred dollars more to bring all three children with us.
We keep coming back to Carriage Ridge because it is a great spot to enjoy the outdoors and the 1 bdrm suite is really comfortable with all the amenities of home. We enjoy having a full kitchen in the unit and the use of the common area bbq's.
Close to skiing Tried to sell me a timesharePool way over crowed . Poor wifi
My Family and I were booking for somewhere to relax and have good time. glad we choose this resort. Very friendly staff, wonderful suites. lot can be done. We will always be there. Thank you,
Wonder secluded site for a long weekend. Driving distance to the surrounding lakes and downtown Orillia.
Bathroom shower water pressure and heat was not to great, only a shower available, unit was due for updating. But nice grounds and scenery
The atmosphere in the dining area was very nice indeed, in that you have a view of the lake. Also, the food was excellent and the service very good.
The atmosphere around the lodge was wonderful. We enjoyed the various activities we took advantage of. The food was good and plentiful and our waiter was most accommodating. Very nice place to spend a weekend. No complaints.

i keep a short cropped full beard had have shaved it down to a mustache for movember a
few years in a row always going back to a full beard love the look of a mustache but
feel i'm too young to keep it what do you guys think ?
Views: 314
What do you think?
Do you think a mustache alone makes you look wrong? If you think you look good with it and feel comfortable, I say go for it.
There are some guys that look good with a beard, some that look good with a moustache, some that look good without facial hair, some that... you get the idea. Most of us mugs can carry off a number of different looks. You need to decide what makes you think you look like who you are.
In other words, if you think it makes you look too young, you should ask some of your trusted friends (both male and female) and solicit their opinion. If they think it makes you look "wrong", as in how you think you should look, then you have one more input.
I for one say, rock a the moustache if you want to, or go with a full beard, or be clean shaven. I decided 10 years ago to add a small beard to my moustache that I have had for 20+ years. I have experimented with a couple of different styles on the beard portion, but personally I haven't even seen my upper lip for over 20 years. My choice, and my wife is fine with it, so the two people whose opinion I care about the most like it, so that is what I stay with.
To be precise, what I sport is a Van Dyke style. OK, maybe not quite, some would call it a French Cut. Well, maybe it is a Goatee and Moustache... SIGH! I have a moustache and close cut goatee that are connected. As you can see, just trying to describe it is not enough. You have to let people see it, in relationship to your face and hair, and even better, who know you to be able to tell if it goes with your personality.
its not something you see on younger guys here at all and thanks for the info :)

Black Activists Demand Fair Treatment for Judicial Nominees
Kavanaugh Nomination Targeted by Senate Obstructionists
For Release: May 4, 2006
Contact: David Almasi or Peyton Knight at (202) 507-6398
or [email protected]
As the U.S. Senate resumes consideration of judicial nominations, members of the black leadership network Project 21 call upon senators to refrain from engaging in the obstructionist tactics that have hindered the fair and timely consideration of past nominees.
"There was a time when our elected representatives worked in the best interests of America and her citizens," said Project 21 chairman Mychal Massie. "Today, it is unambiguously apparent that liberal members of the U.S. Senate do not feel bound to such service. They now seem to think they are there to disrupt, obstruct and destroy the good names of qualified individuals."
On May 4, the Senate Judiciary Committee is expected to vote on the nomination of Brett M. Kavanaugh to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit. Kavanaugh was nominated to the seat in 2003, and had a hearing before the Committee in 2004. He has not yet received a vote on his nomination by the Committee.
While some senators have hinted they may try to prolong the process in the Senate Judiciary Committee by demanding another hearing on Kavanaugh, Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) has already threatened to obstruct the nomination if it is passed out of Committee for a confirmation vote by the full Senate. When asked recently by reporters about the possibility of a filibuster of the Kavanaugh nomination, Reid said: "The answer is yes, a possible filibuster, of course."
"Senate liberals seem at their most comfortable slinging mud and trying to undermine the process of government. They remain devoid of ideas, but full of lies and misrepresentations," said Project 21's Massie.
Kavanaugh currently serves as the staff secretary for the President, where he oversees the flow of documents in the White House. He is a former law clerk to U.S. Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy and two appellate court judges. He has held several positions within the federal government during his legal career, as well as a brief stint in private practice, and has argued cases before the U.S. Supreme Court and many lower courts.
Former D.C. Bar president Mark H. Touhey III says Kavanaugh is "exceptionally well qualified" to serve on the D.C. Circuit.Project 21 takes no position on the confirmation of any particular judicial nominee, but believes that it is in the best interest of the United States that judicial vacancies are filled with appropriate speed.

By Kevin Allen, USA TODAY
Pittsburgh Penguins center Sidney Crosby's mission for the 2010-11 season is to keep us all guessing.
"Between each year, I want to make sure I work on something that will help me be as unpredictable as possible out there," Crosby says.
NHL TRAINING CAMPS: Recoveries are big theme
OVECHKIN: Caps have to play better defensively
When Crosby headed into the 2009-10 season, his plan was to shoot more. His shot total went from 238 to 298, and his goals went from 33 to 51.
What's Crosby thinking this season?
"I felt like I improved my shooting last season, but I know this year it's going to be even tougher," Crosby says. "I know in the first 30 games I'm not going to be surprising anyone by pulling up and shooting."
He says if defenders start to overplay his shot "that I may have to lean more on my playmaking this season."
The other possible change for Crosby is he could end up with newly acquired Mike Comrie as one of his linemates, though that is far from certain.
"He has a lot of skill," Crosby says. "I remember when the (Ottawa) Senators made their long run (in 2007), he was a tough guy to play against. He is not the fastest guy, but he is really smart. His skills are really underrated."
Comrie, 30, had 13 goals in 43 games for the Edmonton Oilers last season, and he has scored 30 or more goals twice in his NHL career. But his attractiveness to the Penguins also centered around his willingness to sign a one-year deal for $500,000.
When Pittsburgh committed $9 million in cap space to defensemen Zbynek Michalek and Paul Martin, there was no money for a high-priced winger. Plus, this summer's free agent market was short on wingers.
Another reason why it's difficult to know exactly who might play with whom in Pittsburgh is that the Penguins seem fully committed to moving No. 3 center Jordan Staal into the top six forwards full time.
"I'm going to play wing now, but it's not going to change my game," forward Evgeni Malkin says. "Except maybe it will give me more scoring chances because I'm not thinking about staying back as much."
Malkin laughed. "Who knows? Maybe I will win scoring title. We will see."
The expectation is that Malkin and Staal will be on a line, but coach Dan Bylsma has put Malkin and Crosby together when his team has needed a goal.
Crosby isn't sure the Penguins will ever have permanent lines under Bylsma.
"If you look at our team, we aren't with the same wingers for a long period of time," Crosby says. "We are always switching. We get comfortable playing with different guys. That's just the way you have to do it now."

TWO men have put their shame aside and spent a week donning dresses in a fundraising bid for charity.
Over the last week anyone walking into Chaos Gaming Zone, in Old Road, Clacton, could be forgiven for doing a double take.
Joint owners Ricky Moore and Alex Weller started wearing dresses to work on Monday as part of a fundraising bid for Cancer Research UK.
The brave pair decided to dress in drag after seeing the success of the 'no make-up selfie' craze.
Ricky said: "It has been a lot of fun so far. The reaction of some of the customers coming in has been amazing.
"Some people are startled but it doesn't bother me too much, I'll do anything if it raises some money for a good cause."
The pair started on April 7 and will continue wearing dresses until April 14.
They are hoping to top the £500 mark.
People can donate to the cause by visiting Chaos Gaming Zone, online at www.justgiving.com/ricky-alex-indrag, or by texting DRAG86 and an amount (eg £1) to 70070.

Charina Widjaja
Co-Founder, DFW Creative, 29
In 2012, the world was introduced to the first fully digital, live-streamed fashion event that allowed viewers to make instant purchases off the runway: Digital Fashion Week. Brought forth by creative agency DFW Creative, the affair was borne out of co-founder Charina Widjaja's desire to showcase outstanding local designers at an international yet easily accessible level. "The digital platform enables us to transcend geographical boundaries," explains Widjaja. "It also allows our designers and sponsors to enjoy increased exposure to consumers from all over the world." The 29-year-old handles DFW Creative's business development affairs and is looking to export the event overseas. When not scoping out the local fashion scene for up-and-comers to feature at her annual extravaganza, the businesswoman makes time to volunteer at orphanages and is currently looking to partner a charity organisation for a fringe event at this year's fashion affair.

ST. MARYS, Ohio (AP) — An Ohio city is going ahead with plans to hold a boat race on a polluted lake, despite warnings from state environmental leaders.
The Celina Governor's Cup Regatta is scheduled for Aug. 28-29.
Celina water superintendent Mike Sudman said the city's tests on nearby Grand Lake St. Marys lake show smaller levels of a liver toxin than those reported by the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency. The government says people should not touch the water, eat any fish they catch or take boats out on the water.
The western Ohio lake has an outbreak of toxic algae.
David Culver, a professor at Ohio State University who has worked as a consultant for the state, says even though it's impossible to predict toxin levels a month from now, scheduling a race is a bad idea.

Police are asking people in South Lakeland to be aware of possible disruptions and delays to their journeys during the Royal visit to the district on Wednesday.
Her Majesty the Queen, accompanied by the Princess Royal, will be in Kendal town centre mid-morning, the James Cropper papermaking mill late-morning, and Bowness-on-Windermere early afternoon.
However, members of the public are advised that the James Cropper site will not provide a good viewing opportunity.
Information on road closures and no waiting zones can be found at http://www.cumbria.police.uk/Admin/uploads/attachment/files/News_Files/Royal_Visit_2013/Traffic_information_for_royal_visit.pdf
South Lakeland District Council has also issued information for local traders and residents, which can be found via their website at www.southlakeland.gov.uk.
David Sykes, Director of people and places, SLDC, said: "SLDC is providing assistance for the Lord Lieutenant of Cumbria's office and Cumbria Police to help ensure that the Royal visit is a success. Kendal and Bowness will be extremely busy on the day and our staff will be providing support.
"During the visit the outdoor market in Kendal will move to a temporary location on Finkle Street and Stramongate. It will be open normal hours and we have worked closely with local traders to make sure they are able to provide their usual service to customers.
"The visit will bring a major boost to South Lakeland. The eyes of the world will be on Kendal and Bowness on Windermere. It is an opportunity to showcase everything that is wonderful about our area. I am sure our local residents and businesses will provide a tremendous welcome for Her Majesty."
Superintendent Mark Pannone said: "It should be excellent weather and a great day for all. However it is likely to be very busy and I would like to take this opportunity to ask people to stay safe if they plan on visiting.
"Look after yourself and each other – it is easy to get separated in large crowds. It is also important to look after your possessions – keep your phone, bag and money out of sight. This is a wonderful day for South Lakeland and I hope everyone who comes along has a safe and enjoyable day."
LDNPA chairman Bill Jefferson said it was a huge honour to welcome the Royal party and share some of the world renowned landscape.
He said: "This will be an amazing time for us all. We want to showcase Brockhole as an inspirational place.
"We will be pulling out all stops to make sure the Queen and Princess Anne have a memorable experience and I know it will be a day that will live with us for a very long time."
Chief executive Richard Leafe said he was particularly pleased they were meeting five national park young volunteers.
He added: "They are the face of our future and part of a strong, lively force working in so many diverse ways to maintain and improve our spectacular surroundings.
"The Queen will be landing at our jetty, just as we would like all our esteemed visitors to arrive. This is a fantastic celebration for the area and a wonderful opportunity for schoolchildren and the public to see her."
North West Ambulance Service NHS Trust advised that individuals attending the visit wear adequate sunscreen and drink plenty of water throughout the day.

FRANKLIN — A Morgan City man was convicted this week of grabbing a pipe in 2011 and beating to death a 38-year-old roommate, whose partially decomposed body was found stuffed inside an ice chest in a Bayou Sale cane field.
The 12-person jury deliberated less than an hour on Thursday before finding Darby Mack Frickey, 40, guilty of one count of second-degree murder of Mark Berthelot, said Bo Duhe, first assistant district attorney for the 16th Judicial District, which encompasses St. Mary, St. Martin and Iberia parishes.
Frickey will be sentenced to life in prison with no chance of parole, as established in Louisiana law for second-degree murder convictions. Judge Edward M. Leonard, who presided over the trial, will sentence Frickey on June 20.
Frickey was arrested by St. Mary Parish Sheriff's Office detectives in December 2011 after a search of his Morgan City home revealed Berthelot's blood in the carpet, between the wood flooring underneath the carpet and on the ceiling, Duhe said in a prepared statement.
"After subsequent interviews, Frickey admitted to killing Berthelot on Oct. 5, 2011, but claimed he did so in self-defense," Duhe said.
At trial, Frickey's attorneys continued to insist that he killed Berthelot in self-defense, Anthony Saleme, the assistant district attorney who prosecuted the case, said Friday.
"The defense did not contest that Frickey killed (Berthelot), just that he killed him in self-defense," Saleme said.
Frickey and Berthelot were roommates when the beating occurred.
Berthelot's family reported the 38-year-old missing on Nov. 10, 2011, Duhe said, and the farmer found Berthelot's body inside the 150-quart ice chest eight days later. Officials sent Berthelot's remains to the LSU FACES Laboratory for identification, Duhe said. After the body was identified, detectives searched the home and found Berthelot's blood.
"Frickey ... became the focus of the investigation," Duhe said.
Saleme said all of the witnesses, including FACES Lab Director Mary Manhein, and almost all of the evidence was put on by prosecutors. Frickey did not testify, he said.
The trial started with opening statements Tuesday morning and ended with the guilty verdict around 12:41 p.m. Thursday, Duhe said.
From 30 to 40 of Berthelot's family members and friends attended the trial, Saleme said.

text: Hi Matt, I've committed a change to motelist-linux, now at Revision 1.4, that hopefully addresses the problem. I haven't tested it on any older versions of Perl, but I've rewritten the parse_usb_devices_text function to do less Perl-fancy things while achieving the same goal of chewing a paragraph from /proc/bus/usb/devices into a hash/dictionary. The problem stems from the format of /proc/bus/usb/devices. I'd swear that whoever spec'ed out that format aggressively intended to win blue ribbon in the ugly contest at the state fair. The file is a headache to parse both visually and mechanically, and so the code and/or regular expression to parse it tend to be a little messed up just to get along. If you could possibly check it out from CVS and test it again with your older version of Perl and let me know if it works out, I'd appreciate it.

The move will ensure that Europe's 'Big Two' are made to wait to discover their championship fate.
Though widely expected, it means other unions will have to face the top two teams earlier in the tournament than they might have liked.
"The 2004 Championship promises even greater interest, coming as it does hard on the heels of the Rugby World Cup.
"I suspect there may be a score or two to settle by the time the Six Nations comes along."
England played France in the opening game of the 2002 championship, prompting fears that the tournament would be over before it had begun.
Next season will culminate in a 'Super Saturday' on 27 March, when all six teams will be in action.
England will face France in the final game of the day, scheduled to kick-off at 2000 GMT.
Six Nations chief executive, John Feehan, also announced that the current seven week format of the competition would continue.
"It has been judged by most commentators to have been a great success," he said.
"Designed to replicate the concentrated playing period of a Rugby World Cup, its effect has been to give the Six Nations an added sense of momentum and excitement."

|Funds of stray bands of Winnebago and Pottawatomi.
[13 Stat., 172.]
{Page 127}
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
For deficiencies in subsistence and expenses of removal and support of the Sioux and Winnebago Indians of Minnesota, during the fiscal year ending June thirtieth, eighteen hundred and sixty-four, one hundred thirty-seven thousand two hundred and ninety-three dollars and forty cents: Provided, That the portion expended on behalf of the Winnebagoes shall be reimbursed to the treasury upon the sale of their lands in Minnesota, to enable the Secretary of the Interior to take charge of certain stray bands of Winnebago and Pottawatomie Indians, now in the State of Wisconsin, with a view to prevent any further depredations by them upon the citizens of that State, and for provisions and subsistence, ten thousand dollars: Provided, That the proportion of annuities to which said stray bands of Pottawatomies and Winnebagoes would be entitled if they were settled upon their reservations with the respective tribes shall be retained in the treasury to their credit, from year to year, to be paid to them when they shall unite with their said tribes, or to be used by the Secretary of the Interior in defraying the expenses of their removal, or in settling or subsisting them on any other reservation which may hereafter be provided for them.
Approved, June 25, 1864.

Struggling to shoot the basketball as of late, Wisconsin was able to turn its shooting woes around by mainly getting opportunities in the paint. All the Badgers big's were able to find success around the hoop.
Overall Wisconsin went 21-for-49 (42.9 percent) from the floor. Ben Brust led all scorers with 20 points. Ryan Evans had 15 points and Frank Kaminsky had 19 off the bench.
Wisconsin did a good job of taking care of the basketball with only eight turnovers, not forcing passes and taking time within the offense. Brust had been struggling shooting the ball as of late shot, but shot the ball very effectively and could tell he was feeling confident with his shot. Brust went 7-11 from the floor.
After Wisconsin failed to make it to the free throw line against Ohio State, the Badgers found themselves frequent visitors at the charity stripe. Wisconsin went 28-for-42 in the game (66.7 percent), including Kaminsky going 12-for-14 from the line off the bench to help him score a career-high 19 points.
Defense: B
Wisconsin played well against Illinois and prevented them from getting any easy baskets in the game. Illinois went 28-for-64 (43.8 percent) from the floor. Joseph Bertrand led Illinois with 17 points. The defensive grade would have been higher if the Badgers didn't let Illinois get back into the game late in the second half. Bertrand was one of the main reasons because he was able to drive to the hoop and get his shot off.
Wisconsin's defense could have been more disciplined committing 16 team fouls, but Illinois was only able to make 10 of its 15 free throws. Wisconsin did do a good job of pressuring the ball and cutting off passing lanes to create three steals and nine turnovers.
Jared Berggren got into foul trouble early in the game and Kaminsky had to step in his place. With Berggren being out, Illinois did have success getting into the lanes. Nnanna Egwu in particular had success scoring 14 points on 7-for-14 shooting.
Wisconsin did a good job of boxing out the Illinois big's though. The Badgers were able to limit Illinois on the glass and out rebound the Illini 38-32.
Overall: B
Wisconsin picked up a good victory on the road. The Badgers were able to take control of the game late in the first half and didn't give Illinois much hope for the rest of the game.
With Berggren getting into foul trouble, the Badgers saw a confident Kaminsky step up with an efficient performance on the offensive and defensive end – scoring from inside and outside the arc, as well as the free throw line. Kaminsky added five rebounds, one assist, one steal and no turnovers.
Wisconsin easily could have won this game by double-digits but allowed Illinois to get back in the game. Wisconsin has to be able to put the final nail in the coffin when they have a team down. They can't leave teams with hope.
While he didn't have to make a big impact offensively with only four points, Sam Dekker was able to contribute in other ways with five rebounds and had two assists.
Game MVP: Frank Kaminsky. Brust could have received the MVP but Kaminsky came up big and played well once Berggren went out with foul trouble. Kaminsky had a season-high 19 points 3-7 shooting, but what was more impressive was he was able to get to the free throw line consistently. Going 12-14 for the game should be a good confidence booster for Kaminsky after he missed three games and struggled against Ohio State in his first game back.

Although TEAM CHUCK blew out TEAM SHAQ for the second consecutive year, winning 163-135 in the Rising Stars Challenge on Friday night in Houston on the first night of All-Star Weekend, there were some bright spots for both squads, including the performances of Orlando Magic big men Nikola Vucevic and Andrew Nicholson.
Vucevic, who played for TEAM CHUCK, tallied 15 points and four rebounds in 20 minutes. Perhaps his most impressive accomplishment of the night, given that he has only attempted two 3-pointers all season, was the fact that he knocked down two shots from behind the arc. Still, Vucevic wasn't satisfied with simply appearing in All-Star Weekend's opening night attraction.
"It's a goal and dream of mine to play in the Sunday game (All-Star Game)," Vucevic said. "I know if I keep working hard I will have a chance to accomplish that in the future."
Despite the fact that he logged just nine minutes, Nicholson made 3 of 4 field goal attempts for six points. He recorded a couple of the many dunks in the contest, faking out a few opponents in the process. However, like his Magic teammate, Nicholson also expressed his desire to play in the Sunday game in the future.
"Sunday night is the highlight of All-Star Weekend," said Nicholson. "It's all the elite players in the NBA so for me to set a goal like that it's definitely worth working hard for."
Kenneth Faried of the Denver Nuggets was named the game's Most Valuable Player after pacing TEAM CHUCK with a game-high 40 points on 18 of 22 shooting. Meanwhile, Kyrie Irving, who was last year's MVP, was the most impressive player for TEAM SHAQ. The Cleveland Cavaliers point guard registered 32 points and engaged in one of the most memorable moments of the night when he and Brandon Knight of the Detroit Pistons had what can only be described as a late-game one-on-one contest.
For Orlando fans, though, this night belongs to Vucevic and Nicholson, who they hope will be integral parts of their team for many years to come.

According to Brand Vending's international sales manager, Craig Goodman, the company often "seeded" bags of standard Sqwishland toys with luminous versions, and demand for these has been so high that the company decided to launch a pure mix.
Also new are the perfectly round multicolored capsules that house the animals and their codes. These have been designed to create a visually arresting machine display; Goodman describes it as "an explosion of color." Since the color of the capsule does not indicate the particular creature inside, "an air of mystery" keeps young patrons coming back, he explained.
Sqwishland is a virtual countryside in which players' avatars can reside in their own "Sqwish homes," play games and engage in adventures. It's described at brandvendingproducts.com and played at sqwishland.com. The game site includes a helpful Sqwishfinder utility, which displays maps pinpointing Sqwishland vending machine locations.
Goodman reports that Sqwishland now has more than 750,000 registered players, and is the fastest-growing children's Internet game to date.

Chiefs came from behind to defeat Swallows 3-1 in a league encounter played at the Dobsonville Stadium on Saturday night
Moroka Swallows tried to unsettle Chiefs earlier on and won a free-kick inside the first three minutes when Erick Mathoho was adjudged to have fouled Lerato Chabangu outside the box, but Itumeleng Khune easily dealt with the resultant free-kick.
The home side nearly opened the scoring a minute later when Siyabonga Nomvethe broke down the left before unleashing a thunderbolt that hit the crossbar with Khune well beaten.
Amakhosi should have taken the lead in the 10th minute after George Lebese found himself with only Greg Etafia to beat, but his poorly taken shot went straight to the Swallows keeper.
The visitors then started knocking the ball around and Siphiwe Tshabalala dictated the midfield with some splitting passes. Tshabalala put Bernard Parker through and the Chiefs marksman picked Kingston Nkhatha in the box, but his shot was brilliantly saved by Etafia.
Chiefs then paid a price for the number of chances they missed and it was Giorgi Negardze who put Swallows in front from Chabangu's corner in the 20th minute, after being left unmarked in the box.
Swallows then won the penalty after Chabangu was brought down by Khune inside the box and Katlego Mashego stepped up to take the spot-kick, only for Khune to dive to his right to produced a fine save.
Amakhosi then came back strongly and won a free-kick outside the Swallows box, but Etafia positioned himself well to deny Parker on the half-hour mark.
The visitors kept knocking on the Swallows' door and finally got their equalizer in the 31st minute through Bernard Parker who received a nice back heel from Nkhatha for his 11th of the season.
Both teams never created any clear-cut chances going into the interval, but Chiefs would consider themselves unlucky after Parker's last minute shot was deflected for a corner.
Both Swallows and Chiefs started the second half well, but it was the hosts who should have restored their lead in the 47th minute when Lefa Tsutsulupa blasted his shot over the bar.
A few minutes later Nkhatha headed over the bar from Tshabalala's cross. Amakhosi then took the lead in the 54th minute through Bernard Parker who met Siyabonga Nkosi's six yard cross to make it 2-1.
Nkhatha never really had a great game as he would have hoped and missed another chance in the 65th minute after a lovely ball from Lebese.
Amakhosi never put their foot wrong every time they had possession and they grabbed their third goal of the evening in the 72nd minute with a sublime finish from George Lebese to put the game beyond Swallows' control.
Parker nearly got his third of the night and 13th of the season a few minutes later, but Etafia did well to deny the Bafana striker.Parker again missed an opportunity to get himself a hat trick as he failed to hit the target from substitute Josta Dladla's cross. The Bafana marksman was again denied by Etafia in the last minutes of the game, as Amakhosi extended their lead at the top of the PSL standings with a vital win against Swallows.

Exposure in films doesn't
please all Southerners
By Scott Bowles, USA TODAY
In Sweet Home Alabama, due this fall, Reese
Witherspoon tries to hide her small-town past to join ranks with New York's social
elite. To that end, she must lose her twang, avoid her hick family and dump her
redneck husband. She is, after all, from Alabama. Welcome to the Big Screen South,
where Hollywood prefers its towns rural, its accents thick and its ideals wedged
somewhere between the Civil War and the civil rights movement.
since Gone With the Wind introduced happy slaves to audiences in 1939,
the South has struggled with accuracy on screen. Whether it's mauling the accents
or turning small towns into Mayberry, RFD, Hollywood can't seem to resist
portraying the region as a racist backwater or a genteel land of eccentrics and
Southern belles.
Monster's Ball, the interracial
love story set in rural Georgia, expands nationwide today with hopes of breaking
that mold. While the film has irked some critics who say its characters are a
cliché, the movie arrives amid strong reviews and Oscar hopes for stars Billy
Bob Thornton and Halle Berry.
But for every Southern
film credited with nuance, critics say, there are five that embrace the clichés
of a gothic swamp brimming with sexual repression, raging racists and ignorant
mountain folk Monster's Ball included. "Many people still know the
South only by what they see in Hollywood," says Marc Smirnoff, editor of Oxford
American, the John Grisham-founded magazine dedicated to Southern culture.
A few gems, but mostly junk
"Most of these epics are just junk," says Smirnoff, whose Oxford, Miss.-based
magazine published a movie issue this month to address the stereotypes. "There
are a few gems out there. But most of them are mean and racist."
can't movies get the South right? Some film experts blame ignorance, laziness
and Hollywood's need for easy villains.
"Hollywood has
turned the South into an un-American region," says Gary Hawkins, an independent
filmmaker and professor of film at the North Carolina School of the Arts in Winston-Salem.
"It's a foreign, frightening, funny place in the movies. Since the Civil War,
it's been easy to demonize the South for dramatic purposes."
South, Smirnoff says, is the last haven for stereotypical swipes.
studios portrayed ethnic groups this way," he says, "they'd burn down the Hollywood
Certainly, the South is due for a cinematic makeover. Culturally
speaking, the region has contributed more than its share to the arts. Ernest
Hemingway once said that all American literature begins with Mark Twain. Blues,
jazz and rock 'n' roll were born below the Mason-Dixon line.
why is there no celluloid equivalent of a Twain, Faulkner or Elvis? "Perhaps it's
because money to fund films comes from studios in Los Angeles and New York," Hawkins
says. "And they're not interested in getting beyond shallow portrayals."
Duvall calls it the "fly-over mentality" of Hollywood executives.
live on either coast and don't hold the people in the middle in very high esteem,"
says Duvall, whose Southern characters have included the zealous preacher in The
Apostle, which he also wrote and directed, and the country singer in Tender
"If you want to make a movie about the real South, I wouldn't
hire a director north of the Mason-Dixon line," he says. "But a lot of them
don't go into the region and talk to the people or have any basic human
interaction, for that matter. So they get it wrong."
it's intentional, Hawkins says. Deliverance, the 1972 drama that
turned hillbillies into backwoods terrorists, was based on the best-selling novel
by James Dickey, who had taken a river-rafting trip into deep Georgia.
the expedition, Hawkins says, Dickey became lost and nearly drowned before he
was saved by woodsmen. "But as he was turning the idea into a novel, it became
a much more dramatic story to have the hillbillies hunting him," he says. "Fiction
needs a clear-cut bad guy, and the South seems to provide it."
mainstay of American films is that the South hasn't progressed much beyond lynchings
and Jim Crow laws.
"Certainly, this region has racial
problems that persist today," says Southern historian Richard Lawson, author of
The New Politics of Race. "But if you buy the Hollywood image, you'd think
racism was confined to seven states."
Black Union soldiers
in the Civil War were routinely forced at bayonet point to the battlefront to
take the brunt of casualties. However, "you'd never see that in movies," Lawson
says. "That goes against the grain of what we've been historically taught."
lessons are contemporary as well, Lawson says. "The nation's worst race riots
occurred in Chicago, Detroit, Los Angeles. But the only people who utter racial
epithets in movies seem to have a Southern drawl."
is making progress, historians say. In last year's O Brother, Where Art Thou?,
Joel and Ethan Coen transformed Depression-era Mississippi into the setting for
a hyper-literate rendition of Homer's The Odyssey. Brother and Monster's
"are signs studios are trying to delve deeper to get beyond cardboard characters,"
Lawson says.
But no cultural portrait can please everyone.
Adams, a film critic for Us Weekly magazine, says Monster's succumbs
to Hollywood's need for characters that audiences can root against. Peter Boyle,
who plays Thornton's racist father, "is the classic, stereotypical evil cracker."
rather plant a raving racist below the Mason-Dixon line rather than look at the
racism that's endemic to the entire country," she says.
director Marc Forster bristles at the criticism and says he took pains to not
make any character one-dimensional.
Forster, a native
of Switzerland, spent weeks in Georgia researching the film. He says he wanted
to illustrate racism in varying degrees "and not make anyone out to be completely
evil. Even the most racist character is human. You can still feel for him."
scrutiny is inescapable when Hollywood's track record has been so bad, Smirnoff
"At first, the South was a big sentimental plantation
where the slaves were happy," he says, referring to Gone With the Wind.
"Now we're depicted as backwards or evil. The South provides easy clichés that
hacks find irresistible. It's as complex and diverse as any region in the country,
but all we get are white-trash characters."
Four of
them will appear in Waking Up in Reno, a comedy opening Feb. 22 about two
Arkansas couples who head to Nevada for a monster-truck rally. The trip goes haywire
when they consider new romantic combinations.
knows no boundaries'
Director Jordan Brady says
he is not taking shots at the region, simply characters "we all see every day.
Redneck knows no geographical boundaries. These people could be from Detroit.
They have cars up on blocks, too."
Brady had only to
drive into north Los Angeles to find the right trailer park for filming.
had built a triple-wide. Tied it together with rope and tape and abandoned it.
It was perfect."
Brady says that as long as films are
not mean-spirited, "the people you're depicting laugh harder than anyone, as long
as there's a ring of truth to it."
Finding that truth,
though, can be daunting. Bill Paxton, a Texan who directs Frailty, a Texas
thriller opening April 5, says actors bring as many stereotypes to films as directors
and producers.
"We can be very detached from everyday
people, especially country people," Paxton says. "If you know only the clichés,
it will show up in the movie."
The great films, Smirnoff
says, don't paint in broad, simplistic strokes.
I tell people I live in Mississippi, they think I must live among racists and
idiots," he says. "Unless it's from the movies, I don't know where they'd get
that impression. It's certainly not from Faulkner and Eudora Welty."

John Evans students build robot for competition
February 1, 2013
She has for as long as she can remember.
"I'll take an old bed frame and turn it into a cage for my guinea pigs," she said. "That's what I'm doing now."
On Saturday, however, Anita, a seventh-grader at John Evans I.B. Middle School, was at Loveland Classical Schools with several of her classmates and science teacher Brandon Beard, competing in a VEX Robotics competition against 23 other teams.
Most amazing for this group of sixth- and seventh-graders is that the 23 other teams they battled against were high-schoolers who were putting to work the robots they made in various engineering classes across the state.
"These kids built this given one hour a week after school since October," Beard said. "Most of the other teams work on their robots daily in engineering classes."
JEMS Robotics, the John Evans team, finished seventh out of 24 teams in points during the qualifying rounds to make it into the quarterfinals. The students were successful there and advanced into the semifinal round, but unfortunately their day ended there.
"It's hard to believe we did it," 11-year-old Nomar Rodriguez said. "I didn't think we were going to have the robot fixed by this time."
The day was well worth it, the students said. While they were there, they got help and inspiration from the older kids around them, who shared strategy and other ideas with their much-younger counterparts.
The program is one of many 21st century after-school programs John Evans offers, said Beard, who is also a NASA Solar System ambassador.
He first got the idea when he learned of a grant offered by the organizers of Saturday's event. The grant covered the cost of the materials and batteries to put the robot together, at more than $2,000.
"All these students are past science students of mine and current AVID students," he said. "In the past, I've brought some technology to the kids. I knew this would be a perfect match."
AVID — Advancement Via Individual Determination — is a college readiness program in place in all of Greeley's middle and high schools. It targets students who are at risk of failing to graduate and is designed to increase performance through individualized motivation. It teaches study skills, strategies for critical thinking, organization and collaboration skills, to name a few.
The students not only had to build the robot, but they also had to program the remote control.
"They couldn't just plug it in and have it working," Beard said. "They had to use a computer to program it and tell it what to do to work the robot."
That part came down to the wire, with the remote not talking to the robot until late Friday.
Beatriz Sanz, 12, said she was excited to sign up when she first heard about it.
"I want to get more involved in technology," she said. "I thought it was kind of cool and was interested in learning more about it. Plus it helps me with my math."
The only condition for the grant was that the students participate in at least one competition. After their success on Saturday, everyone was ready to get back to the drawing board and improve what they already have. Beard had a list of items drawn up midway through the day already that the kids could work on in the future.
Taj Liscano, 13, was just happy to get the opportunity.
"It was a neat idea," the seventh-grader said. "I wanted to learn more about it. This company was so outstanding. Everybody was just so nice."

Thank You, Kansas City! It's Been Vivid!
Thank You, Kansas City! It's Been Vivid!
| Posted by LA Phil Staff in Kansas City
A panoramic view of Friday night's cheering audience inside Helzberg Hall.
The LA Phil's first time at the Kauffman Center was a huge symphonic success! The crowd went wild for Gustavo Dudamel, the orchestra, the program, and, last, but hardly least, the phenomenal Yuja Wang. Kansas City Star reporter Libby Hanssen also went a little wild for our "vivid" performance! (And for us in general.)
The organization is a testament to classical music as an integrated, not insulated, component of contemporary culture, considering the performers' connections in education, challenging perceptions with commitment to performing modern works, while at the same time vitalizing the repertoire.
Doesn't get much better than that ... Much obliged, Kansas City!
